Up at too early so that I could change plans if I freaked out on the underground but I didn't, I was very calm. I even used the lifts in the hotel without incident (unlike in Edinburgh the other night when I behaved like a big wean.
This train north has too many stops - it's going to be a long day.

The chance to hear @tommcraemusic.bsky.social play his first album straight through with a full band & with John Bramwell kicking off the night wasn't something I wanted to miss so I scooted down to London yesterday to see them all at Shepherds Bush Empire
Beautiful night 💚💚💚

Night at the opera took an unexpected turn.
Bailed from La Boheme at half time (once you've heard one aria ... & we couldn't cope with the sad ending) & made it back to our hotel for the 2nd half of the footie.
(The opera was wonderful btw)

The snow was just starting & I got soaked walking down the hill for the train - and now no Ochils 🥺
Away to Edinburgh for a wee overnight with my sis and some Puccini - first gig of the week 🎶

Dug out the single (the case is long gone - don't ask)
Who's to Know was always a favourite but that live version hits much harder.

Day out in Glasgow for the #climatemarch
Was great spending the day with old & new friends in the #scottishgreens block
and the weather was a bit kinder than the last time I did this at Cop26 ☔

The blue skies were lovely this morning - but very boring.
I've hardly listened to any music this week. I need to confess that I've been binge-watching the latest - married at first sight 😳.
I'm blaming the rain and the dark days.

Post-work/start of annual leave wander up the Gowan Hill this morning.
In my excitement at seeing a blue sky and snow on the hills I forgot that it's been chucking it down the rest of the week - I might be a wee bit muddy.
There's even a touch of snow on Ben Cleuch in the Ochils 🎉

And for balance, my old boy Elliot. He was 14 here - didn't quite make it to 15. Still miss him. 💔

Frank burst his new catnip toy 😸 and after an hour of alternating between zoomies & spaced out behaviour he's having a rest and I've put some nice tunes on for him - and for me while I get my needle and thread out.

No post work music so far today. I decided to dip into the footie highlights - mainly to see what Martin O'N was saying about things.
Remembered this work of art that wean #2 made in her Henrik/Martin obsession days.
2026 WILL be the year it either moves to Glasgow or goes in the bin.🙏
