7th November 2005, 8.30pm: Dixon Road, Govanhill, Glasgow
Third umbrella, same night. It lying there in darkness skating around the pavement in cover of the van; in the background the Victoria Road church sign ('Jesus Died For Your Sins') shining out, all pink neon redemption. As Patty Smith said, 'Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine'.
Tonight is gales and storms across Scotland, the power of the wind steadily building, with me coming home only to bounce straight back out for work.
