Someone’s Washing In The Shower…
Jim revealing that he washes just like every other man in the entire world – oxters, sack, crack. That’s it. 60 seconds. Done! Lol
Roll ‘VT’?
And when I say ‘VT’, I don’t mean Virginia Turbett. I am referring to a new song that was performed in Freiburg on Friday night. A song off the new album? Strange, for when it came to Walk Between Worlds, they kept things very close to their chests. I don’t think they were like that…
Consitently Persistent?
The one thing I took away from the talk between John Dingwall and Graeme Thomson at the Mitchell Library during the Aye Write festival was Graeme talking about persistence. “You need to be persistent,” he said.

Five Years…
“My brain hurts a lot…that’s all we’ve got.” May 25th has such a special significance to me now – because it’s the anniversary of this… 2017 is when it happened – and I was hopeful but not expectant. Just hopeful. Never believing I would get greeted in the way I did. I know we shouldn’t…

A Friend Of Frank
What a difference a week can make, eh? I tried to shield the blog from it as much as possible, although it didn’t escape unscathed as my mood last weekend was probably at the worst it had been all year – culminating in a complete anxiety attack and me considering chucking in the whole uni…
