May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I have been having some strange dreams of late. A few nights back I had a dream that I was with a friend. This friend I have never met in person and, of course, it was the music of Simple Minds that brought us together. I really admire this person greatly. She has such self-belief…
I honestly have no idea what to say. Continuing on from my vlog post yesterday, I feel like I just need to write something. Anything! The restart of uni is just days away. It officially starts on Saturday, but because I’ll be away in London seeing Catherine, I will most likely start during the week….
While my ideas for this blog seem to be a well that’s drying up, in the meantime it feels as if my blog is being ‘mined’ for ideas and inspiration for the SM social media – which is a bloody nice thing if so. I honestly don’t mind. The things may as well be of…

You can read more about the subject by clicking these links here and here. In Galashiels on Friday, as I sat outside the MacArts venue on one of…
Apologies for the relative silence. That will mostly continue for the next three weeks until the academic year is finished. Before knuckling down in these final three weeks – we took a small break away. A two night stay in Newcastle. Caught up with my friend, Sue, when we arrived then spent some time down…
If you’re wondering why it’s a bit quiet around here (and well, why would you?) – you can check out a post on my University and Unicorns blog… or not. It’s up to you. The blog name links to the post of you click it. Ta muchly.
