Travel day 4: a quick trip over the bridge over to Malmo. Getting the train to Stockholm later this afternoon
Travel day 2, and we are at the mercy of Deutsche Bahn. First train is neither leaving from nor arriving to the advertised stations. Brussels to Cologne, and then (hopefully) on to Hamburg 🇩🇪
It’s Trans-Europa Express time again. Today is travel day 1: Edinburgh - London - Brussels 🚆
An evening well spent in the company of Optimo Espacio and friends in Queens Park
Early morning train up to Stirling for the inaugural Scottish Substance & Alcohol Dependency Forum
Rosalía @ Palau San Jordi. I’ve been at a lot of shows over the years but not many combine deep listening and bangers in the way she does. Pretty cool for the bairns first gig as well.
Pit stop in Madrid. Time to eat a bocadillo de calamares at the bar in El Brillante
Striking moonrise over East Lothian as observed form Portobello promenade last night
On the train northwards after midterm week in London - a bit of history, culture and some tremendous food (especially the Taiwanese soup dumplings)
Memories of Brìghde Chaimbeul in a lecture theatre in Kraków last October have come flooding back to me today
