May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
All the stuff whirling around in my brain… Mum. My sister. The money. When will it arrive? How soon is now? (Yeah…Morrissey lyrics are forefront in my head most days at the moment). Can I make it home by the middle of November? Should I try? How purposeful can I actually be? Can I bring…
A really heavy conversation on the phone with my sister last night. Again, something that is better for me to say here rather than on FB (my nieces and nephews never visit here). She told me of the times when I was a kid when she’d by laying in the bath…languishing in the water…looking at…

As always I stress that, primarily, this is a personal blog…but one that is seen, for the most part, through my passion and love for Simple Minds. On that point, I’d like to kid myself that within that wording, a smidgen of that gratitude came my way. That as one who feels they continue to…
A lovely piece with Cherisse – CLICK HERE to read.
A local New Jersey station interviewed Jim last week, and it was quite fun. I must admit to feeling a little sorry for Wendy…I mean, it’s a great name…and it was lovely for Jim to say it for her…but it ain’t my name, right? (Ooh, I’m bloody bragging now! Lol. Thank you, mum, – oh,…

A great retrospective of the summer’s Grandslam tour. I wish I could have gone to more in retrospect, having gone through most of July wondering if I should be going to any at all. But the three I went to were incredibly special for all varying reasons. And they will each of them retain wonderful…
