Perseverance

How did this little guy make it all the way up the rhodedendron bush? Maybe I should turn this photo into a motivational poster for gyms and offices. Sell it in the Viking catalogue, make a few quid.

Time for...

... Tea, probably. Beautiful 70's clock at the Rio Cafe

Crea Mar

... One half of the Creative Martyrs as seen at Spangled Cabaret

Where should I stick this?....

Spotted this sign on a doctor's surgery door in Argyle Street. I dread to think of the state their doormat must have got into...

Bob Dylan

He's in this picture, somewhere. It's like Spot the Ball, or that picture of the coffee beans with the guys face in it.

Seemed to be a mixed reaction from the crowd around us, from Mental On His Feet Hands in the Air Fan Man , to Mr I Didnae Hear a Single Song I Knew and Mr Arsehole Texting His Friend "Dylan Was Shite But Annie Seemed To Like It". Personally I thought it was like was watching a top class blues band, with a gravelly voiced dimuitive singer pitched half way between Tom Waits and Cab Calloway, who played some excellent largely unknown blues material and some cleverly arranged covers of old Bob Dylan songs (and also That Jimi Hendrix Song Out Of Withnail And I). Sadly I had to see this band in a stadium venue with about 20,000 other people, rather than in a slightly sleazy spit and sawdust blues bar. Would that I could, eh?

Seriously, this was a great gig, and big thanks to Phil for giving me his spare ticket.

EUREKA!

Someone must have made some kind of incredible academic research breakthrough at the Caley, and been inspired to spell "Eureka" in the windows of the scabbiest of the Uni's 1960's concrete monstrosities.
