Do you live in Torry or Kincorth, Aberdeen? Vote for Friends of St Fittick's Park's entry to the UDECIDE participatory budgeting scheme.

We want to illustrate, produce and give away a children's book about animals in St Fittick's Park. I wrote the book.

Had a lovely time performing at Queer Folks' Tales in Aberdeen last night. Along with Speakin' Weird co-host @tooriekep.bsky.social, the prodigious singer song writer Taylor Bannister and maestro Turan Ali.

I told the story of Benjy the gay bull from Ireland and a personal story. Gorgeous night

I bought a book called Nature's Perfect Food about how milk became "America's drink" online & inside there's a receipt for it's purchase in 2003 in a now defunct books shop in Berkeley & a train ticket from Richmond to Davis California. I'll get in touch with the guy to tell him I have his book
