That's not often you hear that... BBC Scotland weatherman said on the 10.35pm bulletin: "The dry weather lasts right through until next Thursday, no chance of any rain before then"

Great to see the Flying Finns Janne Lindberg and Marko Rajamaki back at #GreenockMorton yesterday as we won 2-1 versus Ayr United. Happy nostalgic memories.

Think I've seen more cigarettes in the opening minute of Blur concert on Sky Arts than you would on a full episode of Mad Men πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

A sickener for #CarlisleUnited today who played on the frontfoot and deserved much more than 3-2 defeat at Crewe to late stoppage time goals

Kelburn waterfall to thank as baby girl Aurora arrives for castle family Kelburn Castle welcomed a new arrival recently - in the same room as the last birth at the historic Fairlie site more than 80 years ago.

Well here we go once again into the future and we've materialised in the year 2025 but it seems a tad familiar with talking cars (Knight Rider), the internet (the computer in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and A.I (Star Trek Holodeck) Can you believe it? Happy new year to family and friends!

Yup, floodlights are on the way. Maybe even in January. Thanks to the Scottish FA, Largs Colts and many more for making this happen! Read the full statement at largsthistle.info/installation.... πŸ“°

It took some patience and hiding behind the marsh grass, but I finally got a clear picture of this beautiful Tricolored Heron!

Really enjoyed this. Captures a moment in time and still brings a freshness and vigour to the greatest band of all time. It's combined with rare concert footage, fly on the wall filming of The Beatles and the crowds who followed them, and modern day interviews with those who were there. Excellent.

Gladiator ll. I don't know if if I have ever seen such a high body count - a cross between Game of Thrones on speed and Sharknado as a battle sequence saw Romans drop into a red sea of blood in a shark's supper. Films have come a long way since 1960s Batman - pass me the anti shark spray Robin!

Morton beaten at Somerset Park today with some top defending and goalkeeping from Ayr in the first half before the home side dominated the second half, winning 2-0. No Scottish Cup heroics from Morton like last year
