I’m Just A Soppy Old Jalopy
Before the day ends…there was this today. And I know it shouldn’t! It just shouldn’t…but…holy hell – it just means the whole world to me. Such a silly thing. He probably never gave it a second’s thought straight after….but for me? Well, you know. I love words and a word from him means everything. Everything.

Thanks For Asking, Dana.
Yeah. Because some of us only miss you every second of every day and are made to feel like a sychotic lunatic for asking/enquiring/saying about it endlessly. So…I look in on FB for the first time in nearly a week, and it just compounds everything I have been feeling lately. I honestly do not know…
Jim Kerr Interview With Kerry McLean on BBC Radio Ulster
It seemed a repeat from some time back. One I seemed to miss at the time – or at least missed catching a copy of the interview for posting here. Anyway, here it is. Enjoy.
