Master storyteller. Dedicated follower of eyeliner. Magical realist. Cool mom. Hopelessly devoted to Belle and Sebastian. Scene not heard.
Reading to my son’s class today.

The book he has picked has lots of references to diahorrea 😐

Sufan at Oran Mor with an inflatable superman ❤️

Belle and Sebastian in Castlemilk for some reason or other.

Every single person from Scottish indie at Macrobert Theatre for @bmxbanditsduglas.bsky.social’s Mondo Morricone. Isobel Campbell was doing her eyeliner in the toilet.
What musical act did you get to see in an intimate setting? Because it was before they got big or after they had their huge moment?

I can’t believe the Dogman film doesn’t have a) Fliporama or b) a Captain Underpants cameo. Zero effort made.

My 7y got his own bank card yesterday.

This morning he bought me a coffee and then immediately barked “I hope you’re going to say thank you for that???”

Killed by my own sword.

Took about 200 pics of my boys on the beach today and, of course, they’re not looking in the same direction in any of them.

Is there are app I can use to swap heads between photos?

I've been asked a lot recently about a piece I wrote on the book/social media phenomenon/legend that is Memorial Device & the #MDANT community, so I've put it up on a website I haven't used since 2016. It is now the first tab. Hope you like it danigaravelli.wordpress.com. @memorialdevice.bsky.social

A very chilly day in Glasgow. If you are struggling to stay warm, remember that Glasgow Libraries have the heating on and offer free hot drinks. No need for a library card to snuggle up on a seat.

Working in a cafe and two people are belting out Radiohead - Do It To Yourself.

They don’t know each other.

£50 for a ticket to see the Franz boys. They better just play Outsiders 30 times.

Took Ivo to see Wicked and “the film of the year” was totally overshadowed by Dogman: The Movie.
