As you read this, copies of the June Spurtle are already thundering towards Broughton like cats urged on by professional couriers with no sense of urgency.
Issue 351 leaps from the shelf with news on Page 1 of Council plans to snog, settle or chuck, towering ambition toppled, top turfs, and infusion enthusings.
On Page 2, local repercussions and odd justifications feature, as do doos, questionable neighbourliness, invasive plastic, and an old uncle possibly leaving Edinburgh for good.
Sheep, coos, exotic berries, and taking a stand on footways are among the most exciting bits of Page 3, whilst carriageway surfaces and nothing to do on Saturday nights aren’t.
We conclude on Page 4 by reporting an abandoned requirement akin to soup, skin-deep theorising, dodgy statistics, and a parting bough.
In short, your summer in the barony starts here with bright intervals, frequent squalls, and occasionally troubled by wind.
Find your copies in shops, bars, cafés, gutters and public libraries from Monday onwards. Alternatively, pick up Issue 351 hot off the internet here after midnight tonight.
