Mr Gum is now at the stage of life where this is 90% of his day. He was very miffed at being woken for this pic. #caturday #cat #mrgum

It was fun to meet @rhubarbwitch at #sequentialscotland in #glasgow this year - and great fun to read about Angels and Demons. Anyone who does hourly comic day should get a medal!

Love #comics ? Live in #Scotland ? Get your bum down to #sequentialscotland at the #Hilton in #glasgow for a feast of great creators! Not a marvel or DC in sight!

I can't begin to imagine what the chap relaxing on the barrel is thinking of the Scots buffoon in all his weird-ass finery. From the #wetherspoons #spoons #countinghouse in #glasgow

The chillingly prophetic John Brunner wrote about this in 'The Shockwave Rider' in 1975. Well worth (re)reading for his great story linking society and technology that's uncomfortably recognisable 50 years later. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sho...
"Second, from their point of view, whatever this new gimmick may be, it's doing precisely what a parthenogenetic worm would do if such a thing could be written. No there's a recherche theorem in n-value mean-path analysis which suggests that at some stage in the evolution of a data-net it must become possible to extract from that net functional programs that were never fed into it."

Linn Park in Glasgow is the city's 3rd largest park. The council want to sell part of this space to build 150 houses. That's a *lot* of houses in a wee island of green with limited vehicle access. Too many brownfield sites that must be better - once we lose it we never get it back #glasgow #linnpark

In anticipation of the rain later, a walk rather than a cycle, to work. Here's the towers of the (disused) Union Bridge framing Nelson's Column in Glasgow Green while the gulls roost and squabble on the southern shore of the #Clyde #Glasgow

After yesterday's vigilance, Billy is relaxing, claiming a cosy nook on a rainy morning - at least until I can no longer avoid my chores! #cat #slowsunday #billywilliam

A tour thru 58 years of #jethrotull music in #glasgow last night. A truly magical troubadour from another time, fully relevant in 2026. A brilliant show at the #grch

Jethro Tull at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall - guess the age of the loyal audience from the amount of hair on show? #jethrotull #glasgow 😄
