Some outdoor art beneath the Clydeside Expressway for #JanuArty (created by local schoolchildren)

Day 5: 20 books that have stayed with me. #booksky #bookskychallenge #20booksin20days

I’ve written a diary every day since I was 14. What does that say about me? Reading four decades of entries, I realise ego can take precedence over world events, life is never too dull to record – and I’ve learned not to take myself so seriously “Hello!
