Roll up, roll up! It’s May! Here in Glasgow in recent weeks we have had false spring, summer, November again, and can-you-really-trust-that-this-is-spring-this-time. Rain is currently battering down.
So I am staying indoors listening to records and reading books – the garden can wait.
What have you all been listening to, reading, watching, or otherwise using to divert yourselves from THE STATE OF IT ALL ?

Come all ye! I’ve got a blazing bonfire in the back, there, potatoes baking underneath, mind your hands if you try to pull one out. There’s hot drinks in the flasks over by, cold beers and assorted soft drinks in the cooler under the table, wine on the table itself.

First Friday of a new month, you all know the drill – HUT! HUT!!

Cautiously, I think we can agree that we are not entering Literally Spring – the daffodils have been and gone, the bluebells are out, and there is more than a rustle in the hedgerow.
So, gather round the picnic table, help yourself to some cider or some apple juice – it’s a little too early in the day for Calvados but that will be along soon enough – grab a bite to eat from the hamper and please tell us : what have you been up to this month ? And is there anything coming up we should be aware of ?
