Over the last couple of weeks I have been watching the protests in the UK at Balcombe. The protest group “No dash for gas” and an assortment of others are protesting against Cuadrillia’s rig which is carrying out frack test drilling. This response to ‘fracking’ and its’ dangers, (or not) seem to be polarized and passions on the subject are strong!

A small Canadian town was devastated last month by a train explosion which killed at least twenty people and left a further 30 missing, presumed dead. The accident happened when a runaway train, carrying 72 cars of crude oil, derailed and burst into flames in Lac-Megnatic in Quebec. The tragedy has had a catastrophic effect on the local community. At least 30 buildings were destroyed and 2,000 residents have fled their homes.

I’m on the Isle of Tiree waiting to put my daughter (9) on a plane to Glasgow; she has to return for a dentist appointment. I took a boat to Tiree to catch the plane. Between the boat arriving and the plane taking off, there was 30 minutes, which is tight even for a small island airport. Of course I rushed to the airport only to find the plane had been delayed.

Last week, I went to an army reunion of the members of the Kings Own Scottish Borderers (KOSB) which was the infantry regiment I served with while in the regular army. The regiment was formed in 1689 and was amalgamated with the Royal Scots in 2006. The gathering was especially poignant for a number of reasons. It was Minden day, which the regiment celebrates annually.

At a wedding last weekend, the woman sitting on my right told me a fascinating story about some of the perils of cloud computing, and an incident that she had been involved with. The story starts with a big push by the UK Government to save money by encouraging all departments, agencies and institutions to save money by cloud computing. They set up a large contract with an established company to run many aspects of their computing.

Last month, the British Chancellor, George Osborne announced his spending review of Government spending in 2015-16. He had hoped to further reduce the deficit by economy growing and by collecting more taxes but instead has announced a further £11.5bn cut in government spending.

I was on holiday recently taking advantage of the very good weather we were having in the UK. When you get hot sunny weather in Scotland you have to get out and take advantage of it! I almost missed the news about the horrific train crash in Canada, in which the train rolled down into the centre of the town of Lac-Megantica, derailed and exploded killing some 50 people and destroying the centre of the small Quebec town.
