Searchers of the Time of Alacrity,

Creating a new routine is difficult. Side projects should have been shelved. I need to find health and fitness.

I ordered some new CDs last week, only Year of the Leopard by James Yorkston has arrived so far. He is one of the Fence Collective’s people, along with King Creosote and KT Tunstall, who have been scooped by the major record labels. I have little knowledge of James Yorkston’s previous releases and I bought his latest release more or less on a whim – it’s great, it has followed me from the car to the house, back and forth.

The Down with Brown campaign appears to have been successful; former chairman Derrick Brown has been relieved of all his duties at Bayview. He remains as a director of East Fife FC in job title only but he has been asked to tender his resignation. Our days of standing on a mound of earth have been worthwhile.
