Hey! I thought you might need a little bit of this….#babygoats

Hard to pick and might vary depending on the day. Probably So Tough or Good Humor though.

I am so very sorry 😞

Pregnant mamas brave the snow for breakfast! Guys!!! After months of waiting, it’s less than three weeks until baby goats begin arriving!!!!!! Ps wait until the end of this video to see what our cat Phil does daily to give me a heart attack! #goats #crazycat

Omg, Thistle holding everyone up with her slow waddle! And Radish looks so round! They are all getting big now! ❤️🐐❤️

Big hugs from Scotland! Goat power!

Happy 25th Birthday to the Sony Playstation 2! 🎉

And yea, you read that correctly.

25 years. 🥲

Wow!

Yes, it happens! If I visit my local public library I am often asked to help readers with self issue machines. I don't work there! But I am a librarian. I visited Boston and someone asked me directions to the Library! I'm Scottish and was just visiting - even worse I knew the answer 😂 No escape!

Love it!

This one is an example, the UK version of Sarah Cracknell's Lipslide. Disappeared from Apple Music with only the US version available (which is quite different). It was annoying having to rip the CD again. Thinking of cancelling Apple Music to be honest.

Apple Music recently mangled my music library, mixing up albums, artwork and tracks. It would no longer let me play some tracks from CDs I'd already purchased, despite previous upload and sync via iTunes Match. I've now ripped some CDs to a standalone music player and finally I can enjoy them again!

For #Caturday this cheeky guy was a neighbour's cat who used to look at us through our patio door. #CatsOfBlueSky #cats

It looks like they really enjoyed each other's company! ❤️🐐❤️

Working-class creatives don’t stand a chance in UK today, leading artists warn Exclusive: Analysis by the Guardian shows a third of major arts leaders were educated privately

'People like us don't become writers.'

Tell me about it!

I am *still* so often the only working-class person in one of these rooms. And it is *not* getting easier.

That's amazing! It's on my list of places to visit.

OPINION: A librarian's summary of, and response to, the Clarivate announcement - UKSG Siobhan Haimé takes a look at detail the Clarivate announcement and its practical (and possibly unintentional transformational) effects.

A must read on the Clarivate announcement to end perpetual access to print, e-books, & digital collections by end of year. Siobhan Haimé suggests this disaster for libraries could be “an opportunity to radically explore alternative models to protect equitable access.”

I'm shovelling from across the pond. Standing with you guys. Am so shocked by it all.

🔥 AMAZING.

Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia.

It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.

I wonder what happened to Dolly Dots from Hit Factory 2? I just checked the track listing and was suitably horrified! Pat and Mick!

This reminded me about a few acts I'd rather forget! I will confess I had the Hit Factory 2 and 3 on cassette!

Man, things are just getting far worse, far more quickly than I expected. Sending love and resilience to all my Maine goat friends. 😢

The best type of therapy!

Oh that face!!
