Let’s Pretend It’s Kerrsday…
I didn’t have time to show these yesterday. Also I didn’t really want to add a second post that would trump the MMM post so I waited to post these today. I received these two beauties from Virginia yesterday. The man Jim is talking to is Jeremy Lascelles – related to the royal family (George…
Where Do We Take It From Here? (P.S. It’s Kerrsday)
I’m at a crossroads right now. I feel as though I am neglecting this blog. I’m not sure what to do with it at the moment. I’m currently stuck in a rut with how to take the blog forward. It’s been a labour of love for over eight years. It has gone through several changes…

Happy Valentine’s Day
“Are those flowers for me, Jim? You shouldn’t have.” I know! What a dreamer, eh? Lol
Belated Kerrsday – Goodies In The Post This Morning
These arrived from Virginia this morning. Jim smiling was just the sunshine I needed. I’ve had two hours sleep and I’m just about to fall behind with my coursework in spite of all the study I’ve been doing (oops, uni talk! That’s what the other blog is for, Prip!) – an afternoon siesta beckons. In…

There’s Always The Sun…
It’s been a little gloomy for me the past few days but these arrived this morning and seeing this toothy-grinned Jezebel smiling broadly and giggling his head off made my day. Virginia timed her delivery to perfection. 🙂 Happy Tuesday!
Motivation?
Some new prints from Virginia arrived today (Middle and right – silver framed. There’s one other not pictured – it’s in landscape ratio and so in the frames on the other side of the room). I’d be happy to gaze upon his beautiful smiling face for eternity. Past or present. Twenty-three or sixty-three. That colour…
The ‘Fidget Arse’ Trio – or… The KERRwalski Triptych
AKA Fiddle Merchant. Some of the negatives I got to view on that first visit to Virginia’s (some four and a half years ago now) were wonderful to see. Actually, all of them were. But it was hard to see much detail in viewing them under magnification. But once they had been scanned and printed,…

Looking Back By Moving Forwards – A Precursor To Next Week’s Book Release
I had a hoard of memorabilia come in this week and in amongst it was this article, written by Graeme Thomson, none other! Featuring in The Guardian on February 24th, 2012, just as the 5×5 Live tour is getting under way. We know how I feel about that. Goddamn! I was out by just over…

Review: Themes For Great Cities – A New History of Simple Minds by Graeme Thomson
“This is a fast story”, author Graeme Thomson says at the beginning of the book and keeps reminding us a few more times further in. It’s a story of the formative years of two pals from Toryglen, their school chum down the road, the keyboard player from the Chinese restaurant and the bass player that…
