Minds Music Monday – First You Jump
It’s just beautiful! It really is beautiful. “Becoming what you’re meant to.” The sentiment of it. The lyrics. You know what I’m like. The lyrics always hit me. Geez…I’m nearly blubbing here!

Beauty By Kelvinbridge
Had a lovely afternoon out in the West End yesterday, by Kelvinbridge. Looked in this posh home decor place called Galletly Tubbs. Lovely stuff, but OH MY WORD – the prices! A place for window shopping ONLY, for us riff raff! Lol Then went and had some food at Sips And Baker further along the…
Apollo Days – Simple Minds, September 1981
Today is a very exciting day! I get to hear the long mystical Glasgow Apollo gig that SM did in September of 1981. I am really looking forward to this one. I have already heard just a little bit of it (In Trance As Mission and some of Changeling) and I plan to devour the…

I Know I Said No More Uni Talk…
And, I really won’t bring it up any further now, BUT….I made this…because I feel a bit giddy. I got my latest assignment result.

I’ll ponder further in a moment. Yesterday I submitted assignment number five for the year. The dreaded ‘reflective student progress’…

Off Topic: A Day Out In The City
I hadn’t been in the city since coming home from England after the Blenheim gig. And prior to that? For some time to hang out in there? Dunno when the last time was… the end of May, probably. My afternoon out with Michelle for her birthday. Promised myself a day in there all week while…
Water And Courage….
So much to tell, so little time. Back safe and sound in Glasgow but now assignment number four looms large. I have a week to get to grips with Plato, Socrates, Laches and Nicias – but just for tonight, I’ll think about “ArKERRmedes” and baths and being dripping wet. I’ll try and make time for…
