Fixing broadband problems by day, making music by night. Sometimes the other way around.

@CalMac_Updates Hi, Service Status says there'll be a bus shuttle service for foot passengers to Troon from Ardrossan. Is there a departure schedule? Planning to get the 11:00. Thanks.

@NarcissistCook Which would you put forward as a candidate for your one-hit wonder?
And which one would be a totally absurd surpise?

@CalMac_Updates Hi, I've got a car crossing booked for the 18:00 sailing. How do we access the Irish berth by road? Do we still check in at the Ardrossan berth?
(It's my first time via car and I've never used the Irish berth before 😅)

...because in That world, it's just another bloke going "whoops, fumbled that one lol" as thousands lose their jobs, and millions lose part of their lifestyle. At the top, no sleep is being lost over this. The transaction was made, and nothing else matters. #WhatsItAllAbout

I've not been on Twitter in months. Did I miss something?

And perhaps the most important thing to take away from it is that we are once more having the veil lifted and seeing how something that is utilised so ubiquitously by the general populace is tossed about so casually by Big Money. It doesn't matter if it breaks or not...

For example, I'm playing a gig on Friday with my folk trio Gyest, and it's going to be an excellent night. There, that's better. I still play music, and I still enjoy it. And you should go and see your local musicians and support their work. A good handclap goes a long way.

Getting onto social media is easy, however maintaining and even just staying on social media is almost entirely not worth it. I try to keep Twitter going but something always trips me up. This time it was my phone breaking...

...but if I can eventually convince myself that I have stuff worth saying, that'll help my mental health a fair bit.
