Meanwhile the online but offbeat shop has opened here at

www.KevinMacNeil.com

It doesn't sell books or records. Hey ho. Never knowingly conventional. You can get those - the important things - elsewhere. This shop is just...ah, whatever. I don't believe in the hard sell.

Meanwhile (Part II), tiredness and whatnot won't keep me away from Singing For The Blue Men. Especially not the whatnot.

Aye.

(If none of that make sense, don't worry...

'Aye' is a Scots word that means 'Always' or 'Yes'. Singing For The Blue Men is the novel wot I is writing at the moment. For many reasons, it is - it needs to be - important. I am giving nothing away about it until it is finished except that it will be nothing like my last novel, The Stornoway Way. Good to be different. Always.

Hmmm. Come to think of it, maybe only people who know me or my work should read this blog. Fine and good. I wish all of you well. Otherwise disregard.

I should just finish by passing on the first joke my mum has ever emailed to me...no, wait...it is funny...

A bus of 100 ugly people crashes and they all die........

Told you it was funny.
