Pronouns he/him/his. Don’t expect high brow discourse, I mainly post about art I like, travel, 80s pop music and rugby players’ thighs 😂 “Don’t I deserve love? And jewellery?”

I’ve fallen down an Instagram black hole looking at campervan conversions. Full of wanderlust yet as poor as a church mouse 🥲

Now, Voyager and Dark Victory on BBC2 earlier. BBC always seem to air them together.

I have spent a pleasant, if somewhat gay, day. Still not been out so watched a Bette Davis double bill, watched Strictly, made corn flake cakes for Mum & Dad tomorrow, and now watching Close Encounters Of The Third Kind ☺️

Lovely song and lovely voice 🩷

Loads of great tracks on this album:
Heartbreaker
We live for love
Hit me with your best shot
Shadows of the night
Love is a battlefield
We belong
All fired up
Invincible

But my favourite is Somebody’s Baby 💔🫶🏻

It is. I know this because it was on a Very Best Of CD I had which I played until it broke 😂

Can we have more from La Voix’s boxing coach, please? 🔥

Also, I love Pat Benetar’s Hit Me With Your Best Shot. Great song choice! #strictly

There was a gent in the #strictiy audience wearing a rather fabulous Royal Stewart tartan blazer and I need one too 😍

The shape Vicky’s fringed trousers are giving her is giving serious Mr Tumnus vibes #strictly

A classic! ❤️

The Lanarkshire Laird @lanarkshirelaird.bsky.social · 19h

Have had on repeat. Loving the classic soul sound, dramatic piano & strings, beautiful harmonies from the background singers (love when they harmonise “Out your goddamn mind” 😂) and the melody of the pre-chorus “If you think I stay up late…”. Teddy Swims is sheer class 👌🏻🖤 spotify.link/wlxDPVOTyXb

Feeling much better, thanks. Just taking so long to shift. I’ve not been able to see my parents as haven’t wanted to infect them 😔

I’ve not been over the door for 11 days as haven’t been feeling well - lots of bugs about so please take care, folks. Finished work today (wfh) and off out a walk for fresh air (and to get a Chinese takeaway 😂). Hope you’re all well 😷
