(Bad enough signing up in the first place)
Last night's tune was Sunny Commute - embracing the cheery vibe before the rains return! ๐

That is all.

Edinburgh suddenly feels like a scary place to live.
Gang feuds, groups of masked attakers, stabbings... ๐ฌ
Image of Nanny Ogg from Terry Pratchettโs Discworld, holding two pies and a huge smile. Accompanied by a quote; "Blood is thicker than water, but family is more than blood. Family is those you love, those who love you, those who drive you crazy, and those who keep you sane - sometimes all at the same time." โ Witches Abroad, Terry Pratchett
#NationalSiblingsDay
Few can match the sheer size of Nanny Ogg's brood, with 15 children. Imagine those family gatherings! She handles it with her characteristic wit, wisdom and perhaps a drop or two of scumble! ๐

Taxi driver favours Christian radio. I cannot deal this early.

Yes, I am aware this is fucked up.
Cheeky visit to Crow Road Croft last night amidst all the Rothiemurchus Rant-ing. Two weeks to Stramash! ๐ต๐ป

Why is it always the ones (men) who are *adamant* they don't have a physical type who within 30 seconds turn around with "they're not what I wanted"?
And why haven't the producers and 'experts' learned by now?!?!?!
The boot is on the other foot
(or would be if Vance had a leg to stand on in the first place)
I've realised my main problem with having to be in the office is *having to be in the office*
(Also 'people', but that one's a given)
What is it about people (men) insisting they need a picture in order to "know who they're talking to?"
I guarantee a selfie will tell you NOTHING meaningful about who I am as a person.
Experimenting with adjusting backloading uplines - some challenges but a decent early attempt. The lighting was delightful in person, but not photo friendly - just as well I don't do it for the pics!

This is not a card game OR a boardroom deal where all that's at risk are profits or ego.
Lives are at stake.
