“Jump in the canal Dad We’ll come in after you. Go on Dad. We love swimming. All I’ve wanted to do today is jump in the canal Dad.” So I jumped in the canal and the kids didn’t fucking jump in. So here’s a photo of me floating about in the canal on my own. (at Maryhill Lock Flight, Lock 21)

A very happy man. #fyldeguitars “Jupiter” returned home today with a new headstock. Sounding as good as ever. It met with a terrible accident earlier this year. See my newsletter or news tab on my website for the disturbing image. The lesson to take from this is that hard guitar cases are far safer places than guitar stands... even on carpeted floors.

Glasgow illustrator Jen Fisher @toastytype , who lost her brother (my best mate) Han to cancer last year, is putting the range of Bing Bong Mail cards on sale on what would have been his 43rd birthday, raising money for Cancer Support Scotland in the process. Jen and her brother Han felt, like many people do, that sometimes ‘get well soon’ just doesn’t cut it. Instead, Bing Bong Mail aims to provide people with authentic, meaningful and down-to-earth words of support. Each colourful card features a protest placard with slogans like “Bring on the drugs”, “Well this sucks” and “Apparently swearing helps” – straight-talking, humorous messages of comfort that acknowledge the gruelling experience of life with cancer. You can find out more about the collection and the story behind them at www.bingbongmail.com. The cards are priced at £3 each, with a third of funds going to Cancer Support Scotland (the rest goes back into producing more cards) If like Jen and I, you agree that cancer sucks and that these cards will give people a smile, please like/share/retweet or pop over to http://www.bingbongmail.com/ and buy some cards. #fuckcancer #cancersucks #happybirthdayhan #downwithcancer @bingbongmail @toastytype (at Glasgow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMl2o4ghlf8/?igshid=11638uz1mw1nz
