May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I’m still wondering why it even matters to me these days, but it still does. Jim’s post today. It had that usual “ruthless” element to it that makes me uncomfortable. It has always been an element that doesn’t sit well with me in the psyche of Jim Kerr. Today’s post seems to make the allusion…

The weather was beautiful in Glasgow on Sunday afternoon. Perfect for a meander from George Square down towards the Barras Market and along London Road. First was a stop at Glickmans and a blether with the shop owner. Last time I was there with Birdy we got chatting to the lady and she was talking…

First off is Holyrood High showing off its new piano which a “substantial donation” from Jim and Charlie afforded the school to get a higher standard of kit than they were initially able to target themselves.

I went out for a Christmas meal last night with Birdy and Michelle. Yes, a slightly personal post BUT… Michelle gave me this (pic below) as my Christmas present and I am just bowled over. It’s just gorgeous! I love it! The business card is the restaurant we ate at. In all honesty, Glasgow is…
It was a very frosty evening on Wednesday night. The UK has been suffering from an Arctic freeze blast for the past several days with most places experiencing snow. Glasgow is one of the few places to lay low enough in the Clyde valley to miss the snow, but the temperatures have been incredibly cold…
