May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
The day is here! By the time this post goes up on the blog we’ll be on the road to Aberdeen. The forecast is for sleet and as a precursor to it, I have been freezing cold ALL DAY (I scheduled this post last night – aka Monday night). The more gigs I go to,…
Slowly slowly, catchy monkey! I feel like that woman that I met at Liverpool on the Acoustic Tour – her saying to me every few minutes for two hours, “I feel sick, I feel sick.” I do feel sick…with anticipation and dread. The mere idea that this man is just not looking forward to seeing…

Where do I start? Perhaps with this morning’s dream. It was a sluggish start for me. I kept on hitting the “snooze” button on my phone. Most days I wake up just before the alarm first goes off. I did this morning as well, but was just only conscious enough to grab my phone off…

….and very much vice versa! Old fancies die hard, eh? I was in need of a bucket at one point! Lol. It was getting a bit sickly. (Moi? Jealous? Don’t be daft! As if I could compete with the magnificently mellifluous Mariella…ever, let alone “sometimes”) Nice to hear him say her name more than a…
Yesterday was a day I had been anticipating for the past two and a half years. No rush! Lol. But yesterday it finally happened. A trip – on the 90 bus – to Toryglen. Not just to zoom on by on the way to Braehead. No, no! But to get off the bus and take…
In reply to James Clear (and James Kerr, for the matter. Lol). Jim’s post today. I do miss those kinds of posts! These would be the kinds of posts we’d get from him fairly regularly “back in the day”. Posts with a philosophical slant. “All good things come to an end.” “Nothing lasts forever.” “You…
Saturday: Taormina v Glesga. NO CONTEST! ?????
