16 year old me loved this album - some of it feels quite meh now but listening to the first 4 tracks was kind of nice - memories. In 1977 I was more into prog & disco ... but, like now, I'd try any music. My name is all over my copy - we did a lot of swapping music with pals back then.

Naw, John Healey, Polmaise Colliery in Fallin was first to go on strike in 1984 - 2 weeks before Cortonwood. When you cannae get basic facts right then I always wonder what other nonsense you're spouting. Credit to him though, good storytelling. share.google/sVqBOFIXeCc2...

Important visit to Bobbin Mill Woods in Pitlochry yesterday to see Roseanna McPhee. This site is hugely significant to the history and culture of gypsy travellers and should be recognised as such rather than being handed around as a development site for a brewery and holiday cabins.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot

Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Found this wee beastie. There's some questionable music on it but also photos that I thought were lost including these of Frank's predecessor - Joe Mitten. Hope I can get it talking to my laptop - not sure I've got the energy for more tech woes tonight after battling my printer earlier.

I spoke in Parliament about policing and the response to mental health crisis. People in crisis deserve support from trained MH professionals, not to be passed from service to service while police pick up the pieces. We need properly funded mental health services there when people need them.

I first heard Malin Lewis play at this year's Stirling Pride and ordered their album and it was waiting for me when I got back at the weekend. What a beautiful thing it is - highly recommend if you enjoy a bit of Scottish folk/trad.

The youngest wean bought me a ticket for this but I've only just arrived and unfortunately missed level42 😎. The field is full of middle aged folk having a wee bevvie and partying. I'm only here to see Simple Minds. Nice sheep in the fields at the back.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Two people in Scotland die by suicide every day. Around the world, someone will die by suicide every 43 seconds. That is a heart-breaking statistic, but behind every number is a person. 1/8

I am not happy in the heat but Barcelona is beautiful - especially when you're dangling above it. I prayed for rain and it's to arrive later and I will be very grateful. ☂️

First tune of the day Up at silly o'clock to catch a plane to Barcelona. I don't do planes and I don't do heat - but this trip is a birthday gift from wean #2 so I have my 'excited but shitting it' face on.

Just watched Little Miss Sunshine for the umpteenth time but not since around 2012. It was a favourite with a woman that I supported in a service I used to work in and she'd watch it at least once every couple of months - I was there over 5 years! Bloody love it.

Fell asleep sitting upright for 3 hours there and now my neck's gubbed - thankfully no more sleepovers until 16th. I know getting paid to sleep at work sounds like a cushy number but there's often not a lot of sleep involved. First tunes of the day. (a wee purchase at Wednesday's gig)
