Have you got the timing of the apocalypse too?

Surely the space cadet that's about to enter the Whitehouse is going to add some out of this world fireworks to this year

Ironic that he wouldn't fit in one of his best pal's launches with an ego the size of Jupiter. An absolute rocket- as we say in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

While Dec hasn't been the easiest time in this house with COVID & a rather challenging schedule- we've still managed to have some unapologetic fun & crazy #Christmas nonsense

#zidaneOnAVan joining us in place of #ElfOnaShelf has been much fun

He's not had a bad run either! #MerryChristmas everyone

Falkirk Council to look at religious representatives’ voting rights Falkirk Council is to look at the voting rights of religious representatives who sit on its education executive.

Pleased to receive unanimous backing for my motion to Falkirk Council to re-examine the rights of religious reps to (uniquely among reps) be able to vote in committee

After 50 years it's about time we looked at this again & made progress to a more accountable democracy

A collage of 7 photos, numbered like an advent calendar, showing a variety of situations where a toy van, covered in images & toy figure of Zinédine Zidane gets up to bizarre antics, in the style of "Elf on a shelf"

Another difficult week ahead, plates spinning on multiple fronts & v serious decisions at council

#balance often so hard to achieve but it's why I feel extra passionate, there must be room for utter unapologetic #nonsense

Ahem #ZidaneOnAVan week 1 🤣 🎄

Don't get to take 📸 of this crazy beautiful girl anymore but something rather lovely that 10 years ago I was making her a ❄️Frozen 🎂 & now at 15 she is still singing her lungs out & absolutely made up with this #wicked 🎂effort 🩷💚

The things mums do! #defyinggravity would probably be easier though!

Meet Boydie -who started life as Athena - having been sexed♀️

Our 🏠 remains at war over a replacement name & family majority now call him "Dave" - I refuse

As if he wasn't confused enough by the loss of his baubles!

A collage of 4 images : Top Left - Clacks Councils Leader Ellen Forson stands at a lecturn in front of a stage addressing a packed Alloa town hall, Top right - A programme of speaker events and details of the launch on Mon 25th November, Bottom Left - graphics and text saying "Experiencing Violence against women and girls can cause long term trauma, which can impact outcomes across mental health, wellbeing and physical health to employment and education. A trauma informed approach can support women and children's recovery", Bottom Right - Graphics and text saying "Nearly 9 out of 10 (87.4%) of those who had experienced serious sexual assault since the age of 16 said that they knew the offender in some way. 55% said the perpetrator was their partner."

Pleased to join colleagues from across Forth Valley this morning at the #16Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence launch

Good to champion the ➕tve work being done but also never shy away from the difficult conversations

A picture of a hardback edition of the book, The Prophet by Kahil Gibran, a selection of text from the section "on children" and a photo of a mother with her grown up daughter at university

Spending my Sat night with a much thumbed old friend but sometimes that's just what's needed

If you haven't found these pages of wisdom before, I very much recommend #theprophet

With a beautiful independent daughter now at uni, it's good to embrace these words again & to love the arrow which flies

A beautiful tabby cat lying on its back getting a cuddle

An adorable tabby kitten staring out of a bubble window in a Pokémon backpack carrier

When you move to a new social media platform and while you're getting set up with accounts to follow, your default stream is basically cats and books.

Ideal!

For my first post, I might as well join in (though I'm here for the politics & equalities chat too!)
