Today I tried to get straight back into the swing of things. Working on my uni assignment was hard. I didn’t get much done and the subject matter of my assignment is such that…well, death and/or dying seems to be my recurring theme for everything I’ve been writing for uni this academic year. All my…

My apologies once again for a vlog review – for a writer, I like to do vlog posts! I’m just conscious to the fact I will be doing a heap of writing from tomorrow onwards (uni studies, and an assignment due next week, plus writing for the book will begin in earnest now, so yes…

As the Glasgow shows inch ever closer, I don’t think I have been this excited for Simple Minds gigs since that warm, splendid weekend in the middle of August in 2022. Everything about that weekend was incredible. And it’s going to be hard to top it. But right now, by God are they giving it…

I am being a lazy, drained procrastinator today and posting a vlog post. Of course, it has run over an hour (just a wee bit over) so…if you have a free 65 minutes, you can see what I’m waffling on about (mainly jury service, my reason for not writing the post instead of vlogging it…
I don’t even know where to start with this one, I honestly don’t. It might be a little short and sweet because otherwise I’ll be typing out a 3,000 word post if I try and put it all in! So much happened last night. All the periphery stuff pre and post gig. Let’s just make…
