Thank you for dropping-by, I hope you enjoy your visit. The main content is to be found in the blog, where I discuss everything and anything, but, topics including: photography, nature, technology, food, movies, music, politics, and life in the Highlands of Scotland, make regular appearances.
I commonly write reviews of movies (or films, if you prefer). Some movie reviews are short, others will be discussed in more detail. The scope covered will be mainly mainstream English language movies from the 1930s until the present day.
About me
My name is Iain MacDonald and I live in the Highlands of Scotland (although I have lived elsewhere in the past). I use Fitheach as my online pseudonym, on this website, on Mastodon, and on Matrix. I am a big fan of Free & Open Source Software, which I use both professionally and at home.
Computing and technology tend to infuse themselves into my other interests, as once you learn some skills in one area it is convenient to use them to solve problems in other spheres.
When not tinkering with computers, I am likely to be found repairing things because living in the countryside you learn to be resourceful.
Of course, man doesn't live by SSH tunnels and kerosene vapour burners alone, so, food, as a subject, makes regular appearances, too.

Parking lot rage
Parked the car at the retail park, and then took #Gruoch for a walk. When we returned a car was parking next to our car. However, it parked *on* the white line nearest to our car.
There wasn't enough room to even get in the sliding door. Gruoch and I both glowered at the driver of the other car as she was leaving. This was enough for her to realise what she had done. She got back in her car, and parked properly this time. 😃

The same nice day, about 30 minutes later. 😃

So, Humza's favourite colour isn't Green.
What now?

Here's an idea for all you tea drinkers. When we ordered a pot of tea in the café, they brought this three part tea timer. The different coloured sand timers are marked "weak", "medium", and "strong". When your colour of sand runs out it is time to remove the tea bag.😃

The pub did have one saving grace: they were dog-friendly. I only realised this when we sat at a table next to the gallery of canine customers.
