We can confirm Deborah Kitchen, 51 who had been reported missing from Elgin has been traced safe and well.

Thank you to everyone who assisted with our earlier appeal for information.

A truly amazing person.

Someone else I have to thank, after this weekend's shenanigans at Granite Noir, is Stuart Mitchell, AKA: Stuart Mitchell, who I outed, live on stage, as having a MASSIVE crush on Sophie Aldred. Still, at least I only told 300 people about it, not 12,000.

So that's all right.

Henry is well worth the price of admission, alone.

One of the highlights had to be the Ten Feet Tall Theatre production of SEE YOU IN COURT - which really deserves its completely-sold-out status. Fiona called it 'edge of your seat,' so now you know.

If they ever do it again: GO SEE IT!

Well, that was a truly stonking Granite Noir! Aberdeen Performing Arts and Lee Randall put on a bloody good festival. I want to say a special thank you to everyone on the team who worked hard make it such a success, from front of house to back office - you all rock!

Sound on!

A big thank you to everyone who braved the cold and the wind last night to come and see Ben Aaronovitch being subjected to my interviewing attempts!

And you should all buy his book, FALSE VALUE, because it's pretty darn great. Fun, twisty, clever, and a damn fine story too.

Mmm, tweedy!

Look, it's me and @MattiasEdvard and me, being very manly in our manliness...

Stuart does has an 'at the BBC for doing stuff with technical difficulties'

Trying to help fix the technical difficulties currently afflicting us in the wonderful world of BBC thingies, I summon the Tech Gods by doodling Big Fat Stuart on a Post-It note...

Thoughtful News-reading Stuart poses thoughtfully in front of the fake Aberdeen backdrop at the BBC.

I say this every year, and it’s worth repeating, the Granite Noir audiences are LOVELY and this year, there are even more of them. It makes my heart happy. Thank you, everyone who supports our participants!
