What Robert Burns Can Teach Us About Modern Life With Burns Night approaching, I have been thinking about Robert Burns and how many of us in Scotland first encounter his work.

Burns Night! www.malcolmstruthers.com/post/what-ro...

Wet and muddy but thankfully that’s all! Hazards of country lanes - most people do slow down though!

Ended up in a ditch on this mornings run due to idiot driver! I’m sure my old fashioned ‘wanker’ gesture put them in their place!

I always seem to want the traitors to win!

If you are going to state that someone has been ‘snubbed’ you need to have seen all other performances and state whose place your person would take on the list!

Best series of The Traitors yet? Could well be!

Many villains of 2026 so far but the real hero is whoever decided to put The Traitors in at 8pm

‘I love that there’s this big gay thing in the middle of Scotland’: Ian McKellen and Graham Norton join Alan Cumming for Out in the Hills New LGBTQ+ festival included McKellen in a fiery monologue and Norton in conversation, as well as a queer ceilidh and ‘kilted yoga’

Out in the hills

One constant during 25 years working in comms is other people thinking they can do your job better! Usually presenting a badly designed poster or flyer as evidence!

Oh and Graham Norton, Ian McKellen and Russell T Davies amongst others!

Looking forward to hanging out in a Scottish castle in the highlands this weekend and meeting Alan Cumming!

This was delightful!

Seems to be a new trend in podcasts of the production team guffawing at the hosts jokes and quips - and it’s really annoying!

Is Reece a sweet shop assistant or a sweet, shop assistant! #thetraitors

I keep thinking this may be the moment America wakes up and does something… yet time and time again nothing happens! (And I’m pretty sure it would be the same here)

Oh, yeah baby!

Ah…

So I’m going to go for Harriet as secret traitor! Which means it probably isn’t!!

It was relatively pain free and some lovely scenery

That the crime author? I thought of her. Or the secret daughter (still getting to grips with names)

So far this year I’ve spent half my time worrying about the end of the world and the other half trying to work out who the secret traitor is! 2026 is weird.

Travelling by train to West Yorkshire today! What with all the engineering works in Cumbria and the weather - wondering if I’ll get there!
