Myself

This post is a self reflection article and my annual review of the past year, what have I achieved since my last birthday?

Believe it or not but 2018 will be my 17th year writing on the internet. In that time I've seen blogs come and go, technology change, new platforms, old platforms, the dot-com boom and bust. I've weathered it all, but is it now time for my dot-com bubble to burst?

Every year, for one month, perfectly normal men across the globe, begin obsessively competing to grow the wildest, bushiest facial hair they can muster in 28 days to raise money for charity.

As another year passes by, it's time to reflect on the past 12 months and look ahead to what the next 12 months may have in store.

Movember is a global charity dedicated to raising awareness of men's health issues. Each year thousands of men grow a moustache in November in order to raise money for the charity. This year I am participating by growing a comedy moustache, but in order to do that, I had to sacrifice my beard...

I used to write a post at the end of each year highlighting the things that I have accomplished, place I've seen and any other life events. Over the past few years, however, I've not done that so much, so I'm starting again but this time writing on my birthday. So, at Thirty-Five what have I done since Thirty Four?

I haven't quite completed my probation period at my new job, but I've just viewed an absolutely perfect cottage just outside Moffat and put down a rental deposit for my first home.

After months of job hunting, going to interviews and being turned down, I've finally been offered a position as a software engineer for a website design agency in Edinburgh!

With my last work contract coming to a close soon, I've decided to take a chance and go for a new opportunity in Scotland which allows me to finally move out of the family home.

On my annual holiday trip to Scotland visiting my brother in law, we did some shopping and got some new toys to play with!
