The past few days of sun have consisted of picnics, long walks in the countryside, paddling in rivers, catch ups with lovely people and lots and lots of laughter. Fantastique.
Remember when?
Fucking YES.
No matter how careful you are, there’s going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn’t experience it all. There’s that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should’ve been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That’s how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We’re just warming up.

Take a stroll down Glasgow’s Queen Street past the Gallery of Modern Art on any given day and you might see a traffic cone sitting on the head of the statue of the Duke of Wellington. For the last 20 years or so, Glaswegians have been, despite requests from the police, crowning the Duke (and sometimes his horse!) with various cones in the middle of the night. The police remove the cones in the morning, but it won’t be long until another takes the last one’s place. I suppose you can say it’s become of a bit of a tradition. After all, as proved again by reactions to “Hurricane Bawbag”, no one has a sense of humour like the Scottish.
Whenever I see him without his crown it’s immediately a bad day.
Tomorrow I have a biology exam which is going to be a total disaster but after it Matt and I are going for a nice picnic in the sun, which should be lovely. Today I bopped around my kitchen in a 50’s-style dress making mushroom soup for said picnic and I felt like a vintage housewife (without the majority of the oppression/general classiness).
Sun makes me very happy and I love it lots.

Sleeping next to another human being is one of the most comforting things.
So last night I got rejected for not having ID for the first time in my life, but atleast Laurissey liked the card I made her!
Attention Chip dudes:
Saturday May 5 @ 12:16pmMy friend King Keytan is releasing his debut EP “Next Time” on Bandcamp on the 23rd of May.
King Keytan makes hyper-emotional, mecha-sad-giantrobotcore and hopefully with this release will begin to establish himself in the Scottish chipmusic scene.
Go like his page right now and be sure to check out the release when it comes!
I haven’t worn heels in so long that I think I’ve forgotten how to walk in them. I also don’t know how to dress for a night out, but I think I’ve always had that issue.
It’s all good though, it’s Laurissey’s birthday night out tonight and I get to see her for the first time in ages and not drink because I’m determined to stick to my “nae bev ‘til Rockness rule” and maybe have a few. Maybe.
Still love.
