Today I am 70 years young. I have navigated seven decades of life, weathering every storm and celebrating every victory. My strength has carried me this far, and it remains my anchor. I am not just aging; I am evolving. Like fine wine and a good malt whisky, my experiences have added depth, character, and richness to who I am. I have set course for 100 at a modest half ahead both engines. Happy birthday me. (PS. I did pour a really really large Aberlour A'Bunadh at 00:01).

A week of remembrance for me. 6th July 1998 the Piper Alpha oil platform disaster. I was on a jack up in the southern North Sea on that day. A survey friend of mine left my rig and went to the Piper Alpha and never returned. It sent a shock through all of the oil industry. Most of us who worked offshore then would have known a friend, colleagues or somebody from your town who lost their lives that day. For me years later I was privileged to be part of a team with RGIT at Dundee who designed and implemented the UKs first freefall lifeboat training courses from recommendations from the Lord Cullen report. Spare a minute or two today to remember those that lost their lives.

Yesterday Thursday I was selected to attend as a guest to celebrate 125 years of the Carnegie Trust for Universities, held in the Dovecote Studios, Infirmary Street Edinburgh. I was one of 10 Carnegie Trust Alumni chosen to be highlighted. My story was shown on large TV panels. It was a good event and great to speak to the people that gave the grants and those who benefited from them. I took my youngest son Harris with me as he will be looking for grants in the future for his career journey.

Happy New Year everyone. Slainte.
