Heathen Anniversary – 19 Years – (And What Feels Like The Time Elapsed) Since We ‘Spoke’.
I miss the conversation I’d have with him! But I can miss it all I like. Disnae mean hee haw.
Scenic Scotland
Oh, at long last! After nine months in the tightest restrictions in all of the UK, Glasgow came out of Level 3 lockdown last Saturday, June 5th. I was happy to let a few days pass by at least until we tried to get out and see anything. Just bide time a little longer. We…
Bryn The Beautiful Blackbird
A watercolour painting of a blackbird in song that I had commissioned by my amazingly talented friend, Deb. Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I like to give birds alliterative names. All my own crappy creations ended up with alliterative names and so upon deciding on a name for Bryn I thought about…
Minds Music Monday – Something Different – Until Next Week – Kant Kino Tantrum Remix
Normal service for MMM will resume next week, but until then I’d like to share a special gift from my mate Baggers. Kant Kino is one of my favourite, if not my MOST FAVOURITE, Simple Minds instrumental. Only problem is, it’s so short! “No probs. I’ll sort it!”, said Baggers to me and lo! He…

Things I Do That Keep Me Happy…
Or feeling kind of purposeful. I don’t know. I honestly don’t know what the point of me is… But I know what the point of this man is. And he obviously knew what his purpose was meant to be. I honestly don’t think I will ever stop loving him.
Dream Within A Dream
I had a mix of dreams this morning. Some were a little anxiety inducing. Others were just about all I dream of every day of my life. I was sitting in a rather fantoosh looking kitchen…a kind of breakfast bar area of this kitchen. So…not in my house this place. I guess I was in…
Jim Kerr Interview: Record Mirror – May 1st, 1982
I never shared this one properly before, so here it is fully scanned. God I love those Sheila Rock photos. Jim is utterly lickable! Him being photographed without a shirt on (not that you can tell it much from the way it’s printed in the magazine) is ALWAYS a bonus! ????? And so you can…
