I lost the Absolute Love Of My Life this week, last year. Feels like 100 years. Feels like 5 minutes. Feels like I need to do some *serious* sighing. So I've come here

Sunday morning memories of a life shared, and a love lost. If you're not careful, this stuff can mire you in misery and poison your future. But the wiser course, I find, is to delight in it, and let it sustain you 🤍

After the Absolute Love Of My Life died, I resolved to get a band together for a tribute gig in honour of his *astonishing* wonderfulness. It's taken a year, but I've done it. It happened, with all our best people, & we kicked some *serious* ass✨️💥🎤

Well now. It's been 18 months since The Absolute Love Of My Life left the planet. For a while there, I thought I might have lost my mojo for good, but I'm delighted to report that I've located it, and I'm in hot pursuit. Aided, as ever, by some *seriously* lovely people 🤍✨️🙏

Longest night, shortest day. Won't be long before it's the other way around again. Live your life, people. Don't hang about. Time is short, the world is wide, & there's a lotta crap out there. What do you need, to get you through? Love. Love is all you need. Happy Christmas 🎄🤍

🎶 I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing on my brain
I don't care about that sloth-thing
Humpin' on that candy cane
I just want to smile & grin
Knowing that the fish will win
Make my dream come truuuuue..
All I want for Christmas...
CALL IT, MARTIN CREWE 🎶
Despite some tactical voting, there's still guacamole on the ski slope as Sloth moves into the final by mashing Avocado 65 votes to 47.

Solo Christmas update. I am a *total* fraud, solo-wise. Lovely pre-prandial prosecco with the MOST fabulous woman, dressed as an elf, to boot. And then further fizz with wonderful neighbours, who rang my bell 🔔... as it were. And now... 🎄💕✨️🍾

Days drenched in the hot sun of the Occitane countryside, serenaded by cicadas & dipping occasionally into a blue, blue pool? Invaluable. Days when you can get up, put on a tee shirt, amble down the road & paddle in the north sea? Priceless ☀️

I'm not surprised by this at all: the last two years have shown that the decision to live in a care home involves handing over any & all decisions about who you see, who comes to see you, where you go, and with whom, to the management. Why would you?
More than a fifth of care home beds in England are unfilled, according to new estimates.

When I was doing political cabaret back in the day, John said he was disappointed that I never chose him as a target. "You need to mess up a bit more, John" said I, "then I can have a proper pop"
(Truth be told, I didn't quite say "mess" 😁)
After almost 16 years as a Minister, I have today written to the First Minister to say that when her successor is appointed I will leave Government. Serving Scotland has been the privilege of my life. Thank you. 👇
