Is social networking wearing us out? It's
pretty tiring learning these new technologies
like Twitter and Facebook.
And are we actually becoming less social?
Can't be bothered picking up the phone when
an email is easier?

History really does talk! |
|
It's easy to forget what a rich fabric of
history and culture we have in this country
when we live in the middle of it, so here's
a new website that makes the fun of history
totally accessible.
The Real History Talks website brings alive
the history of Edinburgh with an interactive
tour of the Royal Mile and a downloadable
audio tour and map so you can meander down
the Mile from the Castle to Holyrood Palace,
visiting the scenes of murder, mystery,
scandal and romance along the way.
Written by a local historian and experienced
guide, and produced by BBC radio
professionals, the tour will give you a real
sense of stepping back into another time.

Flood at Blot Towers |
|
This month we had a little excitement at the
Blot Design office when the building was
flooded after a rainstorm of tropical
intensity.
The rooms were flooded by about 6 inches
of rainwater, soaking everything on the ground.
The office will not be habitable again until
sometime next month. Needless to say, our
ability to be contacted has been impacted by
this, but please leave messages or use mobile
numbers and we will get back to you as soon
as we can.
