In the Meadows earlier. Mid-30s guy walks towards me, chunky headphones, puffa jacket, talking loudly on the phone. ‘Naw, I’m off it at the moment,’ he’s saying. ‘Full detox. I’m off the lot.’ As we pass each other, I smile and raise my eyebrows. He winks and draws happily on a massive spliff.

Was recently sent some group photos taken during my student days (Glasgow 91-95). Pub table after pub table piled high with packets of cigarettes, lighters and overflowing ashtrays, with the odd human being squeezed in. The Philip Morris School of Studies. Everything/one lightly dusted in ash.
