Already…..

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.

The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.

Fiat lux!

Only a few hours to go now…

Right now, foxes are being chased to exhaustion and torn apart by hounds—all in the name of ‘tradition.’

Boxing Day remains the biggest day of the year for the fox hunting community.

Please RT to raise awareness and follow us to help end this cruelty for good.

BREAKING: 59% of people would back Scottish independence if it means removing the monarchy and becoming a republic, a new Norstat poll has found.

The real luxuries in life.

Happy birthday to Mabel. Despite her occasional worries about the world, she would follow you to the ends of it. Which she proved again a couple of days ago.

Some five-word horror stories for Friday the 13th:

Running out of tea bags
Someone talking in a lift
Unexpected knock on the door
Biscuit falling into your brew
Stuck on rail replacement bus
Forgetting to take an umbrella
Missing bin day before Christmas
Say a bit about yourself

An eye for an eye, and we all go blind.

Me and @valmcdermid.bsky.social prepping for our festive book show with @alancumming.bsky.social and Paula Hawkins (with a cheeky wee cocktail courtesy of @profjosharp.bsky.social). If you are joining us on Sunday, we can't wait to see you. It is going to be fun.

I’ve had two much needed days off and realised again how much I needed to disengage from the noise of daily life and the demands on my time and attention… #selfcare #academia

And now your peace has been shattered!

Knitting can help reduce stress and anxiety by focusing on the present. It enhances cognitive function by stimulating various areas of the brain.
