My First Newspaper Column!
So in between all the dashing through the night in cars/planes and taxi’s I am finally in London . Brechin was awesome, Manchester was amazing….I am so pleased that the gigs went well. I even managed to meet up with people who check the blog and have read my book! That’s an amazing...
Lost IPod, missing deadlines and dead babies in my dreams
Only I can get myself into a big state in two whole days. Here is the story, flew to London on Wednesday, went to the most amazing flat organised by Crown lawn as usual (they are immense people and their apartments are awesome). The only problem was- I was as exhausted as I hadn’t...
I didn’t win…

Tonight is the NIGHT!
I am sitting here with tufty squirrel hair, but my hair appointment is very soon, I have a big fat spot on my chin, I have the period from hell but I will go to the ball tonight. It is the Scotswoman of the Year final dinner award at 6.30pm and I am not sure what I am wearing. I...
Someone has put up Christmas lights
I am looking out of my window here in Glasgow and across the road there is CHRISTMAS lights twinkling in someone’s flat, they are strung across the window frame…..it is only October for goodness sake! We haven’t even had Halloween and yet FIREWORK’S are banging making Glasgow ’s West End...
Junkie, drunks and Swans…
On Tuesday I went out with a film crew to do the short film that will be presented to the assembled guests at the finals of ‘Scottish Woman of the Year’ dinner. It really is just a small clip of me walking around with a voice over, giving the people there a taste for who I am. The other...
Native American Indians and baby Abi strikes again…
I have to thank Marie Leaf, for sending me her hand made dream Native American Indian handmade Dreamcatcher. She posted it to me from all the way across the world. It is beautiful and the feathers that dangle from it are just spectacular. I lie in bed and watch them flutter and...

Back to the East End…
I went back to my home town of Shettleston today to pick up a parcel from my brothers son David. It was really strange being there again, seeing that bar where I first met my husband at 16 years of age, standing on the exact spot where at age nine I was hit by car as I crossed the road...

Dreams can come true, but hopefully not for me…
So the bad dreams continue and despite a deluge of help from people they refuse to be binned. I am coping with it all, but it does mean my energy levels are down I am afraid. So my blog is suffering. I am currently organising a trip to London , where I will be working and...
Nightmares as always…
