Spent the last 2 weeks in China and return to see politics in Scotland all about point scoring and excuses. The world is moving on and we are being left behind at an alarming rate. Democracy needs a reboot. Not arguing for single party state, but we need to do so much better.

Lifetime ambition achieved today, visiting Alhambra. Stunning, but I had hoped for a glimpse of Francie and Josie! (You need to be of a certain age I guess).

Just back from 3 great days following @LeTour I took this from the top of the final climb at Boulogne on Sunday. Brilliant to see @OscarOnley from @picnicpostnl in there, mixing it with the best! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A latecomer to this superb account of the 66-67 season by @graham_mccoll . I didnt think there was much more to say about that season, but this is fresh, insightful, well written and is hugely enjoyable. Highly recommended.

On those days when a white wine is called for, this from Lidl is exceptional. #TimsWineClub

In 1974 Jon Landau wrote “I saw rock and roll future and its name is Bruce Springsteen”. If Jon ever sees the @marywallopers then he will really have seen the future. Brilliant night tonight at @LIQUIDROOMS in Edinburgh!

Today was a red letter day. A signal moment. A changing of the guard. A crossing of the Rubicon. Things can never be the same again. For the first time someone kindly offered me his seat on the bus. Who knew that an act of kindness could lead to such a feeling of devastation? 😂

I have been reflecting on this event and concluded that I have been the victim of sociopathic generosity. There’s no other explanation.

It’s not quite section 123 at Celtic Park, and there are no Bhoys singing behind us, but it’s not a bad view!

100 years ago today the greatest goalscorer in the illustrious history of @CelticFC scored his first goal of 522 for the club in the 10th minute of a 4-3 defeat at Kilmarnock. James Edward McGrory, The Human Torpedo, Prince of the Garngad, @StRochsJuniors finest.
