3 years after being a union rep, sometimes I feel isolated: alone in the face of the machine that's taking your time, energy & life. But we're not alone and demonstrating support and mutual soldarity for people who need it most, reminds me we have incredible, collective strength. We're unbeatable!

Yesterday's walk through our workers city.

Basque fans in Glasgow for the tie against those who shall not be named, adding to the splendour. Hasta la victoria siempre or at least into the next round.

A walk during some time off: in the hills & back to my childhood home. Back to work tomorrow, hating centrism for the return of the poison that, when I lived in that address in the 70s, no one would have believed could find a way in. The hills provide relief but there's no kidding ourselves now.

A rare crisp, cold day earlier in the month, and perfect for a long walk near Strathblane.

Good to get out of town for a while today. With the sky so clear the view from just beyond Carbeth was fantastic. I don't wish it could be Christmas every day but I do wish there was more time for this sort of thing, instead of the grind again tomorrow. Love hills, hate capitalism.

Dark from kick off at 3 and like watching the match in Unthank. Still, a win's a win!
