As a now rogue nation lights a match to a tinder box...

ahhh, just went and checked the programme, disregard that!! lol

Are you doing a paper, Catherine?

Grapefruit is the spawn of Satan...

Hope all goes well and a speedy recovery

It's nuts. The system needs rethinking. Have noticed over the last few years an increasing number of injuries. Short term 'more, more, more' from the sponsors/ number of tournaments to get more $$$ will kill long term sustainability overall, along with players having shorter career spans - burn out.

We invite 20-minute papers for our 2026 Summer Conference 'The Church and Race' #CfP #history

Keynote speakers:

▪️Prof Miri Rubin, EHS President @qmul.bsky.social
▪️Prof Herman Bennett, @cuny.edu
▪️The Right Reverend Rowan Williams

Deadline: 15 April

Not that the timing of this is in any way connected to the upcoming Holyrood elections in any way, of course. Just coincidence.
*insert cynic font*

by the by, that was the shortest on-court interview ever

Oooh! Oooh! Please have some kind of reimagined Acorn Antiques a la the 2 Roberts - you know you want to 😄

If you live relatively locally, or fancy an afternoon drive, why not drop in for a little local history at @lhminerslibrary.bsky.social

Harold Shipman

Remove his title, and take away his parliamentary pension.

Just on a personal health issue note: would it be anathema/ an abomination to swap out the orzo for cauliflower rice??

hehehe, fair play. Enjoy!! Not long in, and defrosting from the coldest LRT bus I've even been on. Brrrr. No ice cream for me, the noo!

Ah, it'll be a daytime Luca's lunch for me on Wednesday!! Clearly, the place to be. And while I cheerfully support your choice of chocolate ice-cream, I'd go for the pistachio ice cream 😊

Library stairs, NLS

In my favourite meeting up place in the 'burgh. Today includes first face to face with a writing group pal: the play shall be the thing😊

Oh, this is fabulous!!

hehehe, had a wee chuckle as I pondered vergers coming out of cupboards ...
The vestments are gorgeous.

She's awesome. Love her.

Mate, no self-respecting tumbleweed would even bother to go.

If you represent a party, then, if you're voted in and later defect to another, I'm sorry, there has to be a by-election. I don't vote for individuals, I vote for the party. I'd feel utterly cheated if my MP or MSP changed ships mid-stream: essentially, they no longer represent my voting intention.

Granary sourdough, smashed avocado, Scottish cured smoky salmon, cracked black pepper, lemon juice, and a wee pockle of dill. Heaven. Toasted.

Well, at least they're left wing compared to right wing Labour!!

Another matter: Indy
I've never understood why SLab don't just say 'We're for Scotland. Whether that's within the Union or outwith we serve the people of Scotland.' And leave it to folk to choose which way to go on Indy.
That'd neatly sidestep the issue nicely & make it less tricky for Lab Indy folk

SLab are just untenable. Too often when Anas speaks he has to back track because Head Office/Wminster have taken a completely different tack. SLab have no real effective power outwith what HO tell them to do.
I find it weird as a moderate Leftie, that Labour are now too right wing for me!
SNP for me

Day one thousand and ninety five: How will I ever cut this down to 100 000? 🤣
[answer: murdered 36 000 of my 'darlings']

What? Mate, that's just not on

Oh Sarah, sorry to hear it. Hope it's just a short stay.
