May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Where do I start? I don’t even know! Strap in – it’s gonna be a long one! FRIDAY: Friday, I guess, is the best place to start. In an exercise in preserving energy (and money), we (‘we’ once again being myself and Birdy) decided to set out fairly late on Friday afternoon. The plan had…
