May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Inspiration – right here (see pic of book dedication below). I will think of this for the next few days as I complete my latest assignment for university. It will remind me that I am at the place I have longed to be at right now. “When the other side of midnight calls / remind…
A quick reminder, esp. to those living locally…this will be taking place at the Mitchell Library tonight at 8pm. Looking forward to the talk and meeting up with Graeme in person and having my copy of the book signed. ??? Perhaps I’ll see you there? Tickets are still available as far as I know…(image is…
