So Much To Say – So Little Time To Say It
I had been thinking of it overnight while during the waking points of my endlessly fitful sleeps I have now (must be the menopause?). What I was thinking is ‘He’s due one of those waxing lyrical posts about his beloved Italia about now – it’s been a week since they’ve been there.’ And right on…

Making An Effort…
***WARNING: VLOG POST*** Here I am…making an effort… I’m just too busy to write out a post. I tried to be as short as I could with this and tried reigning in waffling on. I know some of you don’t like these and I appreciate that but I had to get this stuff off my…
Polis and Fascination
One part of the year is over, now the summer is dedicated to me working on getting Simple Minds: Song by Song completed. I did allow myself a couple of days downtime over the past several days. One day off involved heading to Milngavie for a classic car show that was happening in the town….

All Shows Performed – But At What Ultimate Cost?
So, this first part of the Global Tour 2024 came to an end last night in Milan. Jim has just posted a very heartfelt post regarding the show and his feelings on it. He wrote about how ill he was, describing having difficulty breathing, an infection in both lungs and that making him feel weak…

The French Set And The Mandela Effect
I’m not sure I’ve ever come across a man quite as contradictory as Jim Kerr. Lol. He really is someone who seems to be both eager and willing to embrace change and move forward, yet paradoxically seems rigid in his ways and viewpoints and totally inflexible. A case in point is yet another change to…
