Off out for a business meeting this crisp and chilly day at the Four Winds Pavilion off Govan Road - the former hydraulic pumping station for the old Prince's Dock.
Even better, going down to the Clyde Walkway, the Clyde was mirror-calm, providing some fabulous reflections.

Sorry to hear of the death of city chef John Quigley.
His rock 'n' roll tales of tour chefing for Tina Turner, Bryan Adams, and Morrissey were legend.
More than that, he was just a really nice down to earth guy.

Lights... Camera... Action!
It's 1963, and the folk upstairs on the 45A to Carnwadric are getting the best view of the Renfield Street Christmas lights as they glide past the old Cranston's Cinema De Luxe, later the Classic, left.

So, FB reminds me that it's two years to the day since Matt Holt and Andy Hollingworth brought their Laurel and Hardy film to premiere at a freezing Britannia Panopticon Music Hall, the same stage on which young Stan took his first faltering comedy steps.

A very happy 83rd birthday to this wee yin, who would go on to become the Big Yin.
Billy Connolly let me know my voice, my accent, our stories, were worth hearing, worth telling, and worth listening to.

I'm going time-travelling tonight, attending a gig at the QMU.
As a spotty 18-year-old, working my first job in the Uni library, I practically lived in there.
Wonder if they still sell 'Redwitch' - a pint of snakebite with a double Pernod and blackcurrant in it?

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen in a movie theatre is to go down to the front and turn around, and look at all the uplifted faces, the light from the screen reflected upon them.

My amazing painter pal Tommy McGoran turns 98 today. Mind you, I've known him since he was a struggling young artist of 95.
Slainte, Tommy, and many happy returns.
If you haven't already, you can still order a copy of Tommy's book in time for Christmas, from artbytommy.co.uk/product/a-gl...

A non-mover at 7. Four words come to mind; 'the', 'Sonics', 'Yee' and indeed 'Ha'.
So sorry old age, ill health, and band insurance nixed that final Glasgow gig.
Maximum garage!

I knew Guillermo del Toro filmed some of his Frankenstein in Glasgow Cathedral, but think his poster designer must have visited Kelvingrove Museum to see Salvador Dali's Christ of St John of the Cross.
