Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist.

Hamish, more sense in his tail than most politicians have in their heads.

I was a passenger in a taxi in Edinburgh that had to do an Emergency Stop to avoid running over Steven Berkoff, who had stepped off the kerb without looking where he was going.

Sunday night Mabel. 3 years old yesterday, but still weird... #ProofOfCat #CatsOfBlueSky

Dammit. Someone nicked our cute lil yellow Yoonit. A mini cargo bike. Share around, and keep an eye out around Edinburgh. Shout at @cargobikemovement.bsky.social if you see it. Let's make this thing too hot to handle. Bike theft is the worst. Bike theft from a CHARITY is something else 😤

Contented cats, happy owner.

#ProofOfCat I am being really thoroughly ignored.

Now is the moment for Canada, UK, EU and Mexico to form a united front. Add Iceland, Greenland, and others, as they join. Block the Trump regime out. The only way to oppose this is multi-national and united. The real chance of Starmer's Labour actually being part of this? 5%? Am I too generous?

Maisie has a fine collection of blue and cream feet.

It's wild out there... bits of tree banging into the window (which is why the curtains are closed), the gale howling, and lights flickering. The cats, of course, are sleeping through it.

First listening for tonight:

Mabel, contemplating a leap onto the windowsill to see off a pigeon that has dared to land on the outside.

Stealing cat photos is gross, but stealing memorial posts from grieving cat owners for likes and shares is truly repulsive. This account has been reported thousands of times and I'm so disappointed in bluesky that it is allowed to continue. 🧵

Just discovered that it's 10 years to the day since we saw Phil Lesh and Friends at Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael, CA

Have a Sunday night cat... Maisie is relaxed.

Today's cats... Hamish considers a rapid descent to dislodge Maisie. #proofofcat

Punters, do please take note. And on behalf of myself and so many of my friends who are pro, semi-pro, or starting out musicians I say thanks for your support. 🙏 Say what you will about my fellow musicians, you cannot say they are overpaid. 😳🎻🎸🪕

Pleased to announce that once again, I bought and listened to loads of music - but not on Spotify. Support artists and buy their releases.

Garbage, Festival Theatre, Edinburgh, September 2018

So: weekend re-doing #ProofOfCat as the weather cools down here. First, Hamish snuggles down on the couch:

What was the first album you bought?

Jay Rayner is here. The gaps in my timeline are slowly disappearing.

Post a PERFECT album from the '90s that isn't Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains.

Saturday evening, and the grand are all sitting comfortably... Maisie is particularly comfortable. #proofofcat 1/3

Doing some proof of cat #ProofOfCat per Garius (John Bull), even though our guys are allergic to cameras. They're all totally lovely, but photos? No, please. 1/3: Hamish. "Small Sir", the leader of the pack. 5 years old, though it's a moment since he was a tiny kitten:

I have listened to a lot of music this year, just none of it on Spotify. CDs are still getting bought.

Maisie has just slightly too many legs.

As requested by @garius.bsky.social - first post is the cats.
