He was called John and he was from the West End of Glasgow but had now moved to a very charming sounding place called \u2018Livingston Village\u2019&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8211; one could only imagine that he had come here by horse and carriage! \ud83d\ude02&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then suddenly, way up the back, this guy walked in coming back from the toilet, inadvertently drawing a lot of attention to himself. He turned out to be Jamie the gravedigger who had literally dug his own grave by walking in late! Thank god he was in good health because there\u2019s nothing worse than a gravedigger \u2018coughin\u2019! \ud83d\ude02&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had a man from Durban in South Africa who had moved to Livingston for safety, a girl called Maria from Germany, three girls who swanned in late because they had been \u201cdrinkin\u2019 in the hoose\u201d, a very proud man from Arbroath, who really could not have enjoyed the letter \u2018R\u2019 in Arbroath more, a guy from Manchester with easily the most Scottish accent in the world because apparently he moved here in 1976, a brilliant woman called Mags who had been before but had now \u201cgotten over all her ailments\u201d, and the lovely smiley lesbian in the front who I think was the only gay in the village!\u00a0And of course, I just had to get Jamie the gravedigger up for a big dance off at the end and boy was he \u2018diggin\u2019 it! \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\udc4f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was such a fun Friday, and I now can\u2019t wait for a big sassy Saturday in Livingston tonight again!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the touring gigs are listed on my website below. Hope to see yez there! \ud83e\udd73<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-mr-craig-hill wp-block-embed-mr-craig-hill\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"nlW4USFiim\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mrcraighill.live\/\">About Craig<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;About Craig&#8221; &#8212; Mr Craig Hill\" src=\"https:\/\/mrcraighill.live\/?embed=true#?secret=DYMZJDr0YM#?secret=nlW4USFiim\" data-secret=\"nlW4USFiim\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Danced on last night to find an enthusiastic smiley man in the front from Armadale called Blair, who was a photographer, only to then be distracted by a very tall [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrcraighill.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrcraighill.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrcraighill.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrcraighill.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrcraighill.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=505"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mrcraighill.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":508,"href":"https:\/\/mrcraighill.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505\/revisions\/508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrcraighill.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrcraighill.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrcraighill.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
