Graham may (or may not) have been wrong about where Aran knitwear comes from, but Jack is certain that the whisky he is drinking this week is from Lochranza on The Isle of Arran.
Jack has stopped taking his phone on walks - not because he forgets where he has put it but it is actually a life choice (Mennonites rejoice!).
As usual, each go down a couple of rabbit holes – Graham’s involves railway maps, Jack’s is curling….
Lots of music listening this week including a new (to us) Neo-Soul singer/songwriter from Melbourne - Felivand - and some rock classics from wayyyyy too long ago.
Jack’s Dad joke involving The Vapors’ #1 hit from 1980 goes straight over Graham’s head, but both wet themselves laughing over a particular scene in BBC's music dramedy Riot Women.
And in other-worldly news, both the Devil and Dracula get an airing, albeit in different media.
