Read: Nobody’s Empire by Stuart Murdoch. Very enjoyable debut by the Belle and Sebastian singer/songwriter. Obviously very autobiographical. Recommended to any fans of the band. 📚

Nope.
I don’t usually like the food outlets at big shopping malls but this one place does a great calzone. I’ve had this before and couldn’t finish it but today it was all gone.
Like so many of the tech titans, Mark really does offer an end-to-end service: they make the world worse, then they claim to be leading the escape.
Big Big Train - Last Eleven. One of the highlight songs, amongst many, from Saturday’s show in Edinburgh. I love this band. The combination of music and lyrics here never fails to move me. 🎵
Reading: Neu Klang - The Definitive History Of Krautrock by Christoph Dallach. I really like the oral history style of books like this. You get a better picture of what happened with all of the different memories and viewpoints. 📚
The iOS Journal app is starting to grow on me. I don’t use it every day but I like the way it suggests places, photos, and activities from the day as starting points. I think its strengths lie in recording memories rather than as a record of thoughts and feelings though. That’s how I’m using it.
Back to book shopping this week. It’s funny how Waterstones used to be the big bullies out to destroy all other bookshops back in the 90s. Now buying stuff there feels like rebellion. Anyway I’m looking forward to reading this.
Paid a visit to Braehead Shopping Centre in Glasgow today. I went into the Apple Store and came out ten minutes later with an unplanned brand new iPad Pro. It was inevitable, wasn’t it?
I’ll be up late for Thursday’s UK election results and I’m looking forward to lots of “Portillo moments”.
