I love Little Capo!

One of my resident gulls sits outside my top floor window hoping I'll put some food out on the ledge for him. My ginger cat sleeps on a chair inside the bay window, oblivious the the bird that is as big as he is.

YouTube video by RSPCA Hear what Gulls are really saying!

The gulls are noisy right now. They're calling their fledgling chicks. Telling them they have to fly now. youtu.be/Hv4DjNFjKU4?...

What a stunning photo!

Punk rock kid buskers (‘The Whops’, tiktok) near the Edgware Rd. They run into Paul Simonon, play Death or Glory for him. He asks if they know The Guns of Brixton. They do -

UFTW

Oh yes please. I'd love that. I don't know a lot about identifying birds so I use Merlin, but I'm lucky enough to attend bird surveys in North Edinburgh with people that know loads more than me.

I love Bunnahabhain and also visited the distillery on one of my visits to Islay. A fabulous place!

Which malt? Bowmore is my favourite 🥃

Photo taken from Queens Drive around Arthur Seat. The shot looks down the east coast. There are little fluffy clouds in the blue sky. It's a beautiful, bright morning

Screengrab of the Merlin app on my phone. We saw a Common Redstart (rare bird) and the Merlin app confirmed the ID.

Bowl of granola with extra nuts, fruit (grapes, blueberries and sliced bananas) with home fermented yogurt and kefir. There's a mug of coffee too, and a coaster with a shark on it. It all sits on my Paris table which is situated in the bay window. It's very sunny this morning. I have my breakfast when I get home from my walk, or get to work as I can't eat first thing. I must prepare it when I first get up though, or I might forget to eat it all together.

A photo of Dunsapie Loch which you reach on the north East ascend of Queens Drive on Arthur's Seat. The loch is completely still and "glass like". The sky is very blue with wispy clouds. The surrounding greenery frames the loch beautifully and the trees in the far end reflect on the water, as does the rock on the left which also projects some shade.

Stunning morning today around Arthur Seat. We saw then heard a Common Redstart, who checked us out but took flight before I could try to take a photo. The Merlin app confirmed this rare wee bird. #Birds #ScottishBirds

Pals have told me this is great!

Sounds like my kind of laundry day! 🍷

Glad to see you're here! X

I saw that. He's got pretty questionable views on a lot of things. He'll have had issues with you displaying the flag of Palestine too

A picture of the crowd at the Resisting Transphobia gathering in Edinburgh today. One placard reads "You've pissed of the lesbians Better take cover"

It looks like a blunt

Are some women more equal than others? The Scottish Government has lost a landmark case on the Equality Act as the UK Supreme Court interprets its definition of ‘woman’

Here's my analysis of yesterday's Supreme Court judgement on the interpretation of the Equality Act, digging into the detail of what the judges missed and why the whole matter is more complicated than it might at first appear to be. bylines.scot/society/are-... 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈👩‍⚖️

Yep, I've been mistaken for a trans woman a number of times. I've been able to laugh about it up until now.

Andrew Tate (the self-proclaimed misogynist influencer) wears a red dressing gown and smokes a cigar. There's a pizza box sitting on the table in front of him.

Same vibes

I'm devastated for your daughter. A number of my friend's kids and my kid's friends are trans and I fear for each and every one of them. Furthermore, I'm terrified for the women who look a bit butch, are too tall, or don't conform to feminine stereotypes.

Ocht, I'm only taking a wee break for a few months
