City Hall has a collection of themed stained glass windows, they are glorious. The building has a lot of white marble and when the sun shines in, it’s all lit up by the colours in the glass and it’s magical.

If you ever had the ill fortune to meet him you would immediately understand.

That’s when my faith in teachers/grown ups ended. 🤣 I do remember thinking “why is this idiot teaching me and what else has been utter nonsense?” 🤣

That got me into so much trouble at school, P7. My teacher had watched the ‘documentary’ took it at face value. He did not appreciate an 11 year old girl arguing that pasta, including spaghetti, is made from flour, eggs & water.

I can still see him in a purple rage.

I would do time for anything that threatened my pack. How is she doing? She looks well, but obviously I’m not seeing the worst.

Truth. He’s 10 and still thinks he’s a pup. He’d die of embarrassment if he knew what was on his jumper though. 🤣

P7 arguing that spaghetti doesn’t actually grow on trees, but is made from flour, eggs and water.

Mr Davidson had evidently watched the documentary below, and took it for fact. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Dunno. That would be uncharacteristically disciplined 🤣
I’ve never gauged the time before, only distance covered. That might be a better way of organising it.

Needlepoint chessboard under construction. Very complicated pattern involving knotwork, spirals, lock and key and more. 
It’s a half finished monster.

Once more into the breach. Will 2025 be the year I finally finish this monster or will I give up (again) for it to gather dust another year?
It occurred to me I could die before finishing it which has spurred me on somewhat.

We're only a few days away from #ValentinesDay so how about a Blind Date With A Book from Orkney Library?

They're only £3 each and they've all got a special Valentine's poem with a clue to the book inside. And you don't even have to return them! ❤️❤️❤️

#LoveLibraries ❤️❤️❤️

Sussex resident Ian Wood says about winning the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award "I'm humbled. It's wonderful to be on the receiving end of so much Badger love & hope the huge worldwide media coverage will lead to action on the British Government rescinding all Badger culling licenses"

Tree decimated by storm Eowyn. It’s been pulled apart, split, and peeled like a banana leaving a vicious spike of heartwood.

Was just having a look at the damage in the local park. Lot of big old trees down, and then there was this horror story.

Hormones. First you don’t have them, and everything is fine, you can rule the world. Then, no warning, you’re swamped with them and everything goes to 🐷 💩
If lucky they settle, or it gets worse, or worse & pregnant which is nuts, and then they fek off & everything stops working.
Wtf? 🤬

One merely needs to consider government over the past decade to know the truth of this.
