Lovely few days in Dundee and surrounding parts with @jakefraser.bsky.social and @iankey.bsky.social (ft Jake's camera work at the baltic Dundee Law). I love Scotland more than any other part of the UK and it saddens me to leave every time.

I’m sure the middle classes of Broughty Ferry will be appalled at such suggestive language

Spotify lossless audio has me back in a heartbeat. And day one lossless support on my Naim Uniti makes it worth it 😍

Before the downpour started.

See a bridge, post a bridge

Getting to commute over the Forth rail bridge feels like a pinch me moment still.

Glad it wasn’t just us who had a horrendous experience transferring between phones. @iankey.bsky.social had to attempt the restore five times before it took.

Just over two weeks in to Scottish life and my new job, and I can’t quite believe how settled I feel.

You know you’re back in a professional services firm when the standard paper is 100gsm. Weird what little things you miss.

Schubert: Die schöne Müllerin, Op. 25, D. 795 by Hubert Giesen — Apple Music Classical Listen to Schubert: Die schöne Müllerin, Op. 25, D. 795 by Hubert Giesen. 1996. 23 tracks. 1 hour, 12 minutes.

Here’s a recording of the original, not quite the same vibe classical.music.apple.com/gb/album/145...

Yeah it’s well connected with the DLR. Don’t miss visiting that data centre campus though.

Right next to THN2!

Nearly, we’re breaking the journey but will be in Scotland tomorrow. I shall be posting a photo of the big road sign as we cross the border!

No longer a Londoner 😬

Packing is done. Thank fuck @iankey.bsky.social has more persistence than I do or the last 20 boxes would be labelled “misc”

Packing is such an enormous faff, but having a confluence list of every box and its contents is helping me feel a bit more in control.

Sure am! I’ve wanted to move to Scotland for over a decade so great to finally make it happen

Less than three weeks until we’re up the road, and I am so ready for it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Have they pronounced it as “Ed-in-burrow” or “Glass-cow” yet?

Thoroughly suits you!

Think we might have found our house to move to in Scotland. Getting more real by the day.

All those (ruined) original period features!

You’ve been here before with folding smart phones. Resist!

Me getting bloods done last week.

Looking forward to increasing this number soon. smstone0.github.io#/uk-map

I’m pretty certain at least one EU regulatory authority has said it’s not legal but suspect they’re waiting for the ICO to say something. It crystallises what’s been the case for a long time: we pay for things through our data. It’s just they finally put a price on it.

A disappointing stale flavourless pastry is up there for me.

Quite correct. Judging with love 😘

This is new information to me but I am somehow not at all surprised.

Albert!
