The Lanarkshire Laird

Pronouns he/him/his. Don’t expect high brow discourse, I mainly post about art I like, travel, 80s pop music and rugby players’ thighs 😂 “Don’t I deserve love? And jewellery?”
Question for the gardeners: has my neighbour cut these peony seed pods too early?
2 years I tweeted that a pub in Motherwell had Pride flags up and got some hate so thought I misinterpreted the flags. Today is Glasgow Pride, bunting up & they’re throwing a Pride party. As a teen working a Saturday job here I felt isolated. For a boozer in a working class town this is progress 🙌🏻
I’m enjoying #TheDark on STV / ITV. Just the right amount of creep 🙈
Run don’t walk to M&S for these Big Daddy Pistachio Bites. They are absolutely-bloody-lutely divine! 🤤 (Also, I’m not sure why a 2nd ‘Pistachio’ appears separately, seems redundant as it’s clear from the title 😂)
Went to bed mega early yesterday and woke up MEGA early so made some sausage rolls before starting work. That’s lunch sorted anyway! 😂
“I need Amanda Hugginkiss”, “Has anyone seen Mike Rotch?” Infrequent now, but Bart’s prank calls to Moe always made me chuckle 😂
I’m not normally a Sci-Fi fan but am halfway through Project Hail Mary and am really enjoying it. I am loving Rocky!
What to do when it’s a rainy, miserable morning and you find a jar of mincemeat in the cupboard that needs to be used? Make deep filled mince pies to take to Mum & Dad at lunchtime! #WinterInJuly 🎄😃
Please tell me there isn’t a need/market for these monstrosities 🙈😂
Going to sound nerdy I love how Madonna samples Erik Satie’s Gnossienne No1 on the track Betrayal on Confessions II And I love that the lgbtq community are showing their appreciation today. What resonates with lgbtq community is her resilience, being your true self despite what the haters say 🩷🙌🏻
Watching Lee Cronin’s The Mummy on Sky. It is ridiculously long. I would give up as it’s not that great but I’ve invested so much time already 😂
I enjoyed the sequel, Sisu: Road To Revenge, as much as the first film. Such a great character 🙌🏻
Two of the cute Scottie dogs from the #scottiesinthecity art trail in Glasgow 🏴
Wasn’t sure about Sisu when I first put it on but this guy is great… and I’m enjoying seeing nazis getting absolutely fucking destroyed 👊🏻
Disappointed to learn that they exaggerate the accent in the Fargo movie & tv series and that people in Minnesota / Dakota don’t really speak as strongly. Illusions shattered. I love the accents, “don’t ya think” 😂
There’s only 4 episodes of Cape Fear so far and I have zero clue what’s going on LOL 😂
´Bodybuilder’, life drawing in graphite pencil and a study in mid-tones and value grouping. I feel I’m ready now to go to an actual life drawing class with an actual life model! 😊
You can take the boy out of Scotland but you can’t take Scotland out of the boy. Of course I had to get a iron brew cupcake 💁🏻♂️🏴😂🧡
Today’s episode is brought to you by the colours yellow and fuschia 💛🩷
Happy Father’s Day to the best dad from your Mini Me! Here we are few years ago in Amsterdam. ♥️ Thinking also of all those who either don’t have or can’t be with their fathers or their kids. 🫶
Watching Black Phone 2 - IMO a snooze fest. I seem to recall the 1st movie was better than this #Meh 🫤
I’m not sure I like Tom of Finland because it reminds me of Henry Cavill or vice versa, but you must admit he does bear a strong resemblance 😍🔥 #TomofFinland #OverHere
Not terribly exciting news for today but my peonies are starting to bloom. I think they’re my favourite flower. Isn’t this beautiful? 😍 🌺
This morning’s art lesson: life drawing in colour. I feel I know every inch of this lady’s bosom as I have studied her closely for 2 weeks 😂🎨
