Back to school for me in this week’s View From Here.
Thankfully I found my way and am not languishing at the bottom of GCU’s lost & found box.
Even without my name sewn in my pants.

I’m so incredibly grateful for COH’s depiction of a Mum who is a little batshit crazy, & far from perfect, but always shows up with love for her kids when they need her.
There’s not enough Herb Gerdlinger Fruit Wine for this.

Today we remember the millions murdered in the Holocaust and in genocides around the world
This year’s theme, Bridging Generations, is a call to action to listen, learn and carry those lessons forward
We stand united against hatred and prejudice

Our pups have been in a ‘huff’ with each other recently. No fighting / arguments / resource guarding etc thankfully, just a weird post Christmas vibe.

Youngest kid got an unconditional to her 1st choice Uni today. I am beyond thrilled because it’s also the Uni that myself & middle kid both attend. Three Duncan gals will be learning together at in 2026 🙌🏻 I’m trying to play it cool but failing miserably. So proud. @glasgowcaledonian.bsky.social
