Wore this @weare1of100.bsky.social Tshirt to the @mogwai.scot gig last weekend in Edinburgh; feels like I might need to buy a replacement soon as it runs the risk of being worn out at the rate that FKR TRMP is twisting my melon 🤦‍♂️

Thanks to Facebook memories, I’ve been reminded of this Satans Pineapple that I ‘gave birth to’ seven years ago; kidney stones, not for the faint hearted!

Great wee jaunt up Morrone this morning 😀⛰️

My third @mogwai.scot gig of this year and they smashed it oot the park as usual 💥 Countdown now on for the Barras in May 😀

So far the vinyl variations of The Bad Fire have been easier on my wallet than ATLC (I ended up with 11 copies) & I did my best in pushing it for the No. 1 spot 😂Clear, Black, Yellow Ltd to 850, Assai Obi Clear Ltd to 300, Green box set, White, & Red Ltd to 500 @mogwai.scot @plasmatron.bsky.social

Not too long to wait for my third @mogwai.scot fix of the year 😀

Sightseeing, Copenhagen.

Jeezus, ma lugs! Properly @mogwai.scot blasted 2night Great gig, & super nice 2 catch up with Kathryn Joseph again, & grateful 2 her 4 snagging me a set list 😉 All in all, a perfect way to spend my birthday…………51 today and still doon the front 🤘 Can confirm, no @barry.mogwai.scot nudity though…..

Less than a week 2 go b4 we take a wee jaunt over 2 Copenhagen 4 a weekend break & catch @rockactionrecords.scot stablemates Kathryn Joseph, @plasmatron.bsky.social and @mogwai.scot live, on my birthday no less! 😁 And if the QMU gig was anything to go by, it’ll be the perfect birthday present 👌

Awesome @mogwai.scot gig last night at the QMU Venue thanks to the good folks @monorailmusic.bsky.social 👌 New album was very well received on its live debut, as were the encore tracks 😉 Could’ve done without the late night drive home and getting to bed at 1:30am but hey ho…….thems the breaks!

O, wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as others see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us, An' foolish notion.

Burns supper and ceilidh tonight at Oran Mòr; some refreshing Prosecco and Old Fashioned’s first in our hotel, after a frustrating drive down from the North East!

It’s here 😍 Tip of the hat to @monorailmusic.bsky.social for the swift service but just wondering if the @mogwai.scot gig with @plasmatron.bsky.social is still a go-er for tomorrow night? 💨 💨

Enjoying this @paulbesley.bsky.social book immensely; and with a stepfather that was in S.A.R.D.A. there’s a lot I can relate to every time the term ‘body’ is used 😂

Saturday night, @metallica.com on the turntable 😀

Good stretch of the legs today on the Ballater/Cambus O’May circular, taking in the picturesque Edwardian suspension bridge 🥾 #outandaboutscotland

A nice lap of Loch Muick today.

A wee jaunt up Ben Rinnes ⛰️🥾😀

Always appreciate the sunsets at this time of year 👌 #nofilter #sunset #redskyatnightshepherdsdelight

Xmas night oot for the two of us; drinks at SugarBird, dinner at Tarragon on the Terrace then Christmas tunes from the SSO at the Music Hall 👌

Woohoo, #25 has landed! Another quality item from Richie @weare1of100.bsky.social featuring artwork by none other than the legend that is @chuckdpe.bsky.social 🫡 Yet to snag a #1 or #100 but just getting to own any of these fine garments is a privilege 😀 #iam1of100

Right then, let’s have your festive tunes……

Friday night tunes with a new amp to run in; White Denim, Interpol, Goat, We Lost The Sea.

Festive cocktails…….why nae!

Todays post teasing me with glimpses & reminders of what might lie ahead in the coming months; bluebird days out among the hills with the chill air & an entirely different soundscape, not to mention stunning vistas where even familiar areas take on a whole new guise 😀 @thegreatoutdoors.bsky.social

Our wee self build project is starting to take shape; nice of that sheep to pop in and start on the garden for me 😂🏠🐑

Treated myself to this stunning Strathisla release 😀 🥃

Got my freshly serviced motor back from Michell Engineering so it’s time to get the tunes going with some @psbhq.bsky.social and the imperious @davidgilmour.com.web.brid.gy 👌

My latest home brew; canned and labelled up 😀 Probably my last brew before Christmas.

Mmmm, should we do a pretendy Hogmanay for the telly?

A great few hours out in the Cairngorms National Park taking in An Lochan Uaine and Ryvoan Bothy before summiting the Corbett Meall a’ Bhuachaille in the wind, rain, sleet, and even some sunshine 🏔️😁 🥾 Now for afternoon drinks, dinner, and a stay over at Coylumbridge Aviemore Hotel

Tonight’s tipple; a 10yr old Tullibardine, the first in a series of whiskies from around the world thanks to a Whisky52 subscription 🥃

Merch drop alert… www.shorturl.at/NY0eK

A wee jaunt up Geal-charn Mòr last weekend; nice and sunny on the Burma Road but no such luck at the summit! Hopefully get out on another Corbett this weekend.
