May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I’m feeling anxious about the easing of lockdown restrictions. I used to be such a scaredy cat about going out and doing things. I used to stay home A LOT. Never went to gigs or hardly ever went out socialising. I’d just stay home. Lockdown has rekindled a lot of that stuff within me. Fear…

I posted this on the Simple Minds Facebook page, but thought I’d also put it here in case it is deemed too “off topic” and gets deleted. Such a weird concept this thing about tears and the way the fall from the eyes. Maybe it’s a fascination for Scottish men? Anyways, here’s what I had…
Please do not be fooled by the blurb you see attached to the video! There really isn’t too much talk about the then imminent Scottish Independence referendum. It really is all about the remarkable Alasdair Gray. A man I wish I had been aware of, learned about and began to have some kind of –…

Took another wander through Sighthill Cemetery today, on the way to get the messages at St Rollox. The trio of the skyline I tried to make into a panorama using software but it compresses a photo that already isn’t as fab as I keep hoping my phone will take. So I’ve left them as the…
Today was a wander up to a different part of Maryhill, walking up from the other side of Ruchill Park through Ruchill itself. I love getting to know my local patch.
Tantrum Doughnuts opened their doors back up yesterday so today I was on a mission to walk into the city down to the West End to the original shop on the Old Dumbarton Rd for “open doors” at 10am. They are running to a limited capacity. Making small batches of doughnuts and only having their…
Today’s walk was to the MackIntosh Queen’s Cross church in Maryhill. Only 1.5 miles from home but currently not open to the public due to lockdown, I was happy to at least go and look around the outside of it. And I never realised it was just that bit further on from Speirs Wharf. It…
I’ve lived nearby two of the greatest cities in the world during my time on Earth – Sydney and London (I lived roughly as far out of the centre of London being based in Luton as I had done living in the urban sprawl of south-western Sydney from its central (CBD – the Australian term…
It has been the most glorious spring day today here in Glasgow. Full max ‘taps aff’ weather. Sunny and 22 degrees Celsius! Today was a mix of getting exercise and getting the messages at St Rollox. The walk took us along Sighthill Cemetery – which is a beautiful place! A few assorted pics below.
Well, that’s tonight’s gig sorted. Fire up the TARDIS…get to that front row. Gawp at the most goegous man, ever…mouth agape. Lol (Oh…and maybe take the odd cursory glance at Kenny too…) Oh, I dream. UPDATE: The crowd when Celebrate starts! The roar of applause! It’s fucking awesome! The bass is off-the-scale crazy. I don’t…
