Posted on behalf of Gayle at Tartan Tights. Hey everyone. It’s Round Up time again and this week, it seems that you have all been working overtime to provide us with a wide range of topics up for discussion. So lets kick off with an offering from Burdz Eye View. This week Kate gives her […]

Nights are drawing in…
The kids go back to school tomorrow in some parts which accounts for the tardy Roundup as I’ve been in a flurry of pencil cases and new shoes. It never gets any easier. But what’s everyone else been up to? Elizabeth left her kitchen for a trip to Unst which really makes me want to […]
Tennis, politics and holidays but life isn’t strawberries and cream for everyone this week.
It’s the first week of the holidays ( and recess) , the sun is shining and Wimbledon is working its magic on the Nation. (C’mon Andy). So tell me why did I think this was a good week to volunteer to do the roundup? That said it has been an interesting week with some fairly […]
End of Term
“School’s out for summer” sang my daughter on Friday “School’s out FOREVER” she rounded off. For a brief moment I had the sensation I was doing this parenting malarky properly if my children can apply classic music lyrics to real life situations. And then she informed me that the song was from Season 2 of […]
A little bit of what you fancy
It’s been a while since I sat in this comfy chair but it’s nice to be back. For me one of the great joys of rounding up the pick of the blog posts is discovering new (to me) bloggers and reconnecting with the one’s I haven’t visited for a while. With this in mind I […]
Some light-hearted fripperies for a Sunday morning. Mostly.
The last time I was invited to compile the roundup it turned out to be a week of heart-string pulling, rage inducing tears and weeping. If it’s okay with everyone else can we switch it up and have something a little more light-hearted and fluffy this time around? Excellent. There is no better place to […]
Take Eight Blog Posts and See Me in the Morning
I can picture the scene. It’s early on a Sunday morning. You went back to work last week, having accidentally altered your genetic makeup to consist almost entirely of mince pie and brandy. You’re beginning to realise you have to go to work again tomorrow. You need a pick-me-up, and fast. Never fear, Dr Roundup […]
Whose blog is topical anyway?
It’s the burd here with the round-up this weekend. Â The observant among you will have noticed that I took a bit of a blogging holiday this summer. Â Partly it was down to there not being all that much to blog about, but also because I couldn’t quite get round to blogging on topical issues timeously. […]
So much more than politics!
When I put my hand up to edit this weeks roundup I was keen that it introduced me to a wider blogging world in Scotland and I do think it has. I like to think there is some thing here for everyone, thanks to the talent that is out there in the blogosphere. Its impossible […]
Sunshine, snaps and songs – Scotland in the week the Yes campaign launched
With at least 27 months to go until the Independence Referendum, the stars of the nationalist firmament gathered in an Edinburgh cinema to launch the Yes Scotland campaign. Lesley Riddoch and I both noticed a severe lack of women in the line up. It’s already won over one bloke, though – Jeff from Better Nation. […]
