The ultimate highland games edinburgh

You don’t see anything like the highland games edinburgh anywhere else in the world.

The atmosphere is fantastic and all the competitors take the competition very seriously.

There are activites from caper throwing to haggis hurling, and various other strong men challenges.

The audiences get very into the games as well all coming in fancy dress or tradtional scottish dress, and each has their own way of cheering on their favourite competitor.

The games last a good few days and at the end of them, there is a big celebration and awards ceremony to crown the kings of the games, and the strongest man.

Best a levels so far

Recently students have just received their a levels, and found out that the results across the UK are the best recorded so far.

Every year there are comments made thay a levels are getting easier and easier, but no one ever seems to comment thata actually maybe the students are getting more intelligent.

English and Maths results are up, as are science grade, which is great news for sudents wanting to go to top universities, as many of the unis now ask for higher grades, and there is far more competition for places.

Students are under a lot of pressure on the months leading up to getting their results, and it is always good to hear that results are the best so far, and it is a good reward for all the hard work people put in.

Notebooks come in all Shapes and Sizes

Notebooks come in all Shapes and Sizes
Notebooks seem to come in all shapes and sizes; some with narrow lines, some with big open lines, others with margins and those without. I use one all the time for my work and after awhile you get used to a specific style I prefer a ring binder which opens up from the top though I have many colleagues who prefer the smaller pocket style notebooks that open sideways. When I am desk-based, however, I also opt for an A4 ring binder as you can do so much with one of those, even doodle in the corner. Its a case of picking the notebook that best suits your needs and theres plenty to choose from.
