Southbound...

There are elements of the Holyrood election that we will need popcorn for, and one of those is Sarwar...

Labour has forgotten how to talk to the north after decades of taking it for granted without doing anything fundamental to change the lives of those struggling. The party is embarrassed to be middle class but it's doing nothing to talk to voters other than the rich and the reform.

I think of blocking like swerving people in real life who are constantly coming out with stuff I don't want to hear but I don't want to interact with to see if they can be persuaded into more sensible views. Build the world online you'd like to have in real life...

Great overview of Harriet's new novel. We're thrilled Harriet is our next @hullnoir.bsky.social guest at @hulllibraries.bsky.social, 18th March. We're completely sold out, but the free livestream is available.

I live minutes from the sorting office, to add insult to injury. The round is too big to handle after a swathe of new houses went up but there's no interest in hiring enough staff to cover it. It's been going on for at least two years - some weeks you get a couple of deliveries, some you get nowt.

I like Al's quote 😂 I'm always intrigued by the voice on the novel's page and the voice in other writing and in particular in speaking in person. We contain multitudes - and finding the right version for the right place is the key, perhaps.

NHS Grampian confirms first case of measles since 2014 The health board says everyone should ensure they are vaccinated after confirming its first recorded case in more than a decade.

However old you are, if you live in or visit Scotland, get a measles jab.

In fact, wherever you are in the world, get a measles jab, for your protection and to get us back to herd immunity levels, which keeps the most vulnerable safer.

Make sure your friends have a decent postal service - I've just received the most recent copy today; it says posted 1st class on 17 Feb! Do I live in the middle of nowhere? No, I live in Edinburgh, where I currently get mail once a week at best - this was the first delivery in 10 days...

I swear she's going to wag herself in two one of these days 😂😍
