Positively Positive…
It’s all about the positives in life, right? *sigh* The last one in the line is today’s result. #StayingPositive

One Week In And Stronger Than Ever
I’ve tested for three days in a row and been positive every day. Guidance is to avoid going out/contact with people for five days from your first positive test. Well, here I am after seven days and I am still getting a positive result. If you’re supposedly no longer infectious after five days, then why…
Water And Courage….
So much to tell, so little time. Back safe and sound in Glasgow but now assignment number four looms large. I have a week to get to grips with Plato, Socrates, Laches and Nicias – but just for tonight, I’ll think about “ArKERRmedes” and baths and being dripping wet. I’ll try and make time for…
One Of The Banned
Whenever I see something that I think will interest Jim these days I can’t think of any other way to try to get it to him than to just….post it here. As if he would visit here! But…how else am I meant to do it? There’s no point posting anything via SM social media –…
Jim Kerr – The Belief Academy
I’ve come up with an idea. For wanting to be able to interview Jim and knowing that as much as I would like for it to happen this blog is NEVER going to be seen as ‘professional’ enough to get the chance to interview him, then…let’s examine, dissect and discuss things he has said in…
The ‘Pretty Sleeper’ Has ‘Wakened Up’…
Reading today’s post on SM FB, it sounds as if the days of rest have done Mr Kerr a wealth of good. It sounds as if he is in positively rude health in fact. Which is all good. I’ll stay here in my bunker feeling completely “damned if I do and damned if I don’t.”…
Consitently Persistent?
The one thing I took away from the talk between John Dingwall and Graeme Thomson at the Mitchell Library during the Aye Write festival was Graeme talking about persistence. “You need to be persistent,” he said. He did mean it in a rather specific context. (How to get Jim to move away from anecdotal tales…
When Words Feel Apt
Today’s study involved familiarising ourselves in using the OED as an online reference source (student access to it opens up more than you get by going to the site without student/teacher access). We were asked to look up certain words that had been used in poems we’ve been studying this week. One of the poems…
Reading Between The Lines…
Or am I reading the ACTUAL lines? Contradictions? Oxymorons? Paradoxes? I’m no longer sure what it is now…or what I do with it? Everything in life is always open to our own interpretations of it and of course many things affect our interpretation of things – our own mental state being the biggest contributing factor…
Paris Review – Part One: The Long Story? Or The REALLY Long Story?
I guess it’s best to start with the really long story and edit it from there… so may I start? I slept soundly enough Wednesday night and into Thursday. Probably didn’t settle down quite as early as I should have, but at least sleep wasn’t elusive that night and I got a good few hours…
