Baby steps to mortgage freedom for beanielou.

Just googled it and it was the Sketch then handed over to the Mail. Funny what you have stored in the back of your mind 😆 One of my friends rescued a cat like you did and the little devil strips the wallpaper 🙀 There’s another book just come up lately with nice quotes, something to do with a horse and a boy, keep seeing them on my newsfeed.

The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse is the book I’m talking about 🙄

Keep seeing the horse & a boy too
I like them.

So for any other Scottish crime readers out there.
Any other writers I am missing who write about Edinburgh & the east coast.
Thanks

Beanie, have you read any Stuart MacBride? His Logan McRae series is set in Aberdeen, the series is excellent but can be quite gruesome.

I quite like Christopher Brookmyre as well, he writes a lot of different types of stories but mostly crime based, some in Glasgow and some in Edinburgh. His newer stuff is quite different to his older stuff though and I'm undecided as the older stuff was more satirical and funny and the newer stuff seems more serious. 🤔

Ok. Can anyone have a quick look?
Thinking Dulux denim drift on top & dusted fondant on the bottom.
Any other suggestions?

Stuart McBride is indeed gruesome.
A tad too gritty for me!
Have read some of Christopher Brookmyre's.
Got Shuggie McBain at Christmas & still have not read it!

I'm not sure if they still do it beanie but it used to be possible to order Dulux paint testers for free online delivered free through your letter box letterbox by Royal Mail, I went off Dulux paints when they altered the formula but there were some lovely colours. I used to take the testers to my local Johnstones trade centre and with the colour code on the tester they could mix the same colour in white Johnstones paint. Living by the sea there was a lovely Dulux pale blue and they mixed that as an outdoor eggshell for the fences , arbour and garden bench.
