Name the famous book. #VSCOcam
Sons of Bill, Hoxton.
Never really expected to get another new Iain Banks book. But here we are.

Christmas has a slightly musical theme this year.
What’s the collective noun for Santas? #VSCOcam
Queuing out the door at the parcel depot.
#stackablesapp with the “Frozen Souls” formula. It’s amazing what you can do to a photo.
The Millennium Bridge with the Shard in the background. #stackablesapp with the “Fill the Sky” formula.
Clapton Square, again. #stackablesapp with the “Nirvana” formula.
Tree near Strathblane, messed around in #stackablesapp.
More autumn light in Clapton Square of a morning. Looking towards the old Police Station, and messed around in #vscocam.
Autumn green. #vscocam
Just got into a train. There’s a log lying on the floor. No sign of the Lady. The owls are not what they seem.
It’s here…
Suzi Q, where are you?
I got a card in the post the other day, from my friends Di and Johnny. Regular readers will know Di as one of the most frequent commenters here (ie, she has commented). We disagreed over The Great Gatsby.
Anyway, the card had a post-it stuck inside, with some writing on it that I couldn’t quite make out. Di wrote, “Been trying to get this for you for ages… can you guess who it is?”
I was slow to realise that the “who” referred to the writing on the post-it. But she also said there was a clue on the back of the card.
On the back she’d written “devilgate.org”.
The post-it looks like this:
And I read it to say, “To Martin. Suzi Quatro.”
I mean, if it says that it makes sense considering my origin story; otherwise, not so much.
Thanks Di and Johnny. It’s a lovely thought.
