I thought I was just unlucky with my last pair, but Doc Martens are truly awful these days.
Utterly shoddy.

The wine and spirits selection is fantastic also. All our trips to England now get re-routed via the A65 wherever possible.
Counting down the days to get my Vacherin order in for Christmas.

Or you could treat yourself, their cheese is first rate.

At the FTT(IAC) today for an Appeal, on the float list, deep, deep joy.

Saw the Rheingans Sisters at the Hug and Pint in Glasgow tonight, fantastic gig, outrageous talent!

Thanks Ava, much appreciated! If you fancy doing some phone banking, DM me your contact details and I’ll pass them to my campaign manager?

Lancashire cheese churros.
The absolute business!!

Now it’s official.
I have been shortlisted as a possible Scottish Labour Party candidate for the twinned seats of Motherwell and Wishaw and Uddingston and Bellshill.
Looking forward to speaking to as many members as possible between now and the Hustings on Thursday 3rd April.

Welcome aboard Eddie!

Driving duties done.
@judithross.bsky.social safely returned from the spectacular Karine Polwart “Come Away In” concert at St. Giles where she was part of the 150 strong choir.
Finally time for steak pie and a boulevardier or two.
Happy New Year everyone!!

She was in my year for the Diploma.

Released this day in 1980 , Sound Affects by The Jam. We couldn’t really afford records at the time. I’d go round to friend Brian Murphy’s where we’d listen to his big brother’s copy obsessively.

YouTube video by Alan Ferrier “Freedom Come All Ye” performed by Karine Polwart in The Italian Chapel, Orkney, August 2013.

Here’s a glorious rendition of Hamish Henderson’s “Freedom Come-All-Ye”, sung by Karine Polwart in the Italian Chapel, Orkney. The chapel was built & decorated by Italian POWs during WW2 using scraps & reclaimed materials, & is still in use today

@joannechocolat.bsky.social Hi Joanne, just finished Broken Light, thank you so much for sharing that dream, I haven’t had a story move me so much in a very long time.

@coopelaine.bsky.social welcome aboard Elaine!

The Bluesky/X relationship feels like if in 1985, when Coca-Cola introduced the new disastrous New Coke, another company had taken over the classic formula while Coca-Cola doubled down on New Coke and kept adding things like piss and cholera

Weather matching my mood this morning. Arrochar is over there somewhere.

I hope that after last night, that may change, but as they say, it’s the hope that kills you.
