May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Was sent the loveliest present by my friend, Ruth. It’s been a quiet day. Glasgow has put on some FANTABULOUS weather today. BUT! I’m “Alive And Kicking”. I have my faculties. I’m warm and safe indoors. I have my furbabies to snuggle up to. It’s all good. Yes, 2020 has been a pretty shit year…
I did this bit of editing work on one of Virginia’s photos of Jim. I asked her permission to share it on my blog and social media. She granted me permission – so please, I ask if you do share, give credit or link back to the blog or social media pages. Either to mine…

She’s baaaaack! It’s been “Sycophancy Nancy”s turn to make “art” today. She finished off what Prip started last night. During the font layout and wording, she looked at some pre-made phrases and saw the option in the second piece (the cake reference). She initially thought better of it, then decided – half in jest –…
Someone dropped THIS bombshell this morning as I was preparing my punk themed post… You guys know where to get all the info from. You don’t need me to update you. This blog would be surplus to requirements if its purpose was to report Simple Minds news! Lol. The band have that one covered on…
