“In the real dark night of the soul it is always three o’clock in the morning.” F. Scott Fitzgerald. (Attr.). To be honest I read that in a Snoopy cartoon in the 80s, back when I thought the Daily Mail practised ethical journalism. And in the interests of veracity, it is only 02:50. I am surprised…

The interweb was awash yesterday with grief and astonishment, after the news broke of Bowie’s passing. As is the way of these things, I was looking at his son’s Twitter feed when the death was confirmed, elliptically.

Meditation
I suppose I should really be putting something in here about recent events, but the fact that my – our – dad was not of the social media generation makes me reluctant. I never really tried to explain Facebook to him and I think he would probably have been faintly horrified at the wannabe celebrity…

I have looked back at the most recent pages of btw and it seems that I keep apologising for not making regular updates. I shan’t do that this time, therefore. Instead, some pictures. We went, ironically as things turn out, to Bo’ness for the first time, and dropped in at the Motor Museum. It has…
