OFF to North Shields early for the ferry to Amsterdam. I decide to do a daily videoblog – so see above for how our day went as we drop off gig posters in Glasgow and get the ferry. After I edited the video, though, we spilled red wine on the laptop and I fear...

LAST day before we head to Belgium and Netherlands, so lots to do. I revisit some of the Creative Scotland funding info, but until I hear back from the other parties involved I cannot do much…and with time at a premium, I cannot afford to put time into something...

The new ‘introduction’ to yours truly video… WE’RE up at a reasonable time as Catriona, Will and Freya need to head off sharp-ish. First, though, I make the breakfast burritos. Haven’t made them in a good while, but these are probably the...

LOOKS like another nice sunshiney day 🙂 Once the routine stuff’s out the way I tackle the online tax return. Thankfully all the login stuff works first time and I’m able to get it all done. Going through some figures with Margaret instigates a scary cash...

WE’RE off into Glasgow early…eye hospital appointment first thing. The wait’s a bit longer than usual – I’m always surprised when ‘the first appointment’ is often a good hour after schedule. I understand how things come up and some...

AFTER breakfast I decide to send an email out to Glasgow area folks letting ’em know about next month’s (May 12) show at the Record Factory. Normally I send out just one eNewsletter a month and it goes to the entire mailing list. I think it’s...
