You might find this hard to believe but, until yesterday, I'd never clapped eyes on the man who designs and runs my website! So you can imagine how delighted I was to hear that Rich was to be in Edinburgh this week (playing tourists) and that we were able to arrange to meet for lunch.
We went to a lovely little Bistro in Edinburgh's Grassmarket called The Lot which donates all its surplus funds to charity. And the food was simple but good with lots of Fair Trade stuff around. Rich's partner, Nicole, was with him and we had a very jolly time with much laughter. Wouldn't it have been awful if we'd taken an instant dislike to each other?!!!!
We were talking about Facebook at Twitter and I was absolutely delighted that a teckie like Rich doesn't have a Facebook page and doesn't Twitter. We really are like-minded in many ways. Certainly more and more of our clients are into technology but there are still a lot who prefer the old fashioned ways. And there's absolutely no question that you can't beat eyeball contact. This new way of having "virtual friends" somehow misses the point.
Anyway, it's that time of year when I'm working on the programme for next year, Karon's on holiday and the pressure is on. It's also a "running day" for the Comrie Railroad so all the steam buffs are here and there is much cooking and fun. As for the housework ........
