So good to get this book: handbook/cultural history/autobiography/polemic by the great @Peterfinch published by the excellent Parthian Press. That guy quoted on the cover is me with an extra A!

A touching appreciation of Brian Lewis by Clare Jenkins in today’s Guardian. Brian believed passionately in the power of culture to transform lives and was a great example to those of us who work in community art.

Enjoying this excellent collection of poetry about Scottish football and the World Cup by Stephen Walsh, who wrote that classic book about country music, Heartache Spoken Here.

I hear the paper shop’s shutters opening as I approach. I help the shopkeeper to carry the papers in. Doug will be here later. No sign of Fred. The Bloke With The Dog comes in. We all instruct each other to have a good day.

Early stroll. The breeze agitates and irritates the trees. I briefly thought that cat on that fencepost was an owl. Someone stares from the bus window, looking astonished to be sitting there. A narrative of security lights as I walk. Leaves overcrowd a puddle.
