Americans! Groundhog Day! I have questions!
How do you *know* Phil saw his own shadow and how does he tell you there are six more weeks of winter? Does he squeak six times or something?
I’m baffled.

Please may I have some love through the internet lines?
My beloved old collie died in his sleep and my heart is broken.
One of my sheep went on her back and was so covered in mud that she had to have a warm ‘bed’ bath but is in her own pen out of the icy wind. My boy would have sat with her.

Every bit of Scottish/Gaelic culture movingly at Alex Salmond’s memorial in St Giles. Our songs, our poems in our Kirk - emotional heartfelt & epic. The Proclaimers Cap in Hand almost unbearably poignant. Tx to organisers & all performers. Message clear. Yes movement must unite

Bobby’s Bus Shelter on Unst - the most Northerly of the Shetland Islands
The council planned to remove it in 1996 but thanks to the efforts of 7 year old Bobby it was saved - since then it has been furnished and decorated every year.2020

Had a patient in recently. Owns a restaurant. Their energy bills have gone from £1000 to over £5000. To cover this a £10 plate would have to go to £50... Our decimated high street aren't from Holyrood or SNP policy but Westminster energy policy. Scotland needs full control of its energy.

Deeply moved at seeing the farmers gathering to protest and so sad that it has come to this.
I know we are hated because, you know, we all wear Rolex and have diamonds on our wellies like the propaganda tells people.
If you have eaten this morning, we have provided the food.

👍 Words matter. #Fromnotbetween
This is not “between” Scotland and England…it is “FROM” Scotland to England.
Secondly… this extracts £4,309,920,000 per annum from Scotland (based on current average retail tariff of 24.6p per kWh).
What’s in it for Scotland?…nothing!

Supporting the local ploughmen and ploughwomen today. Amazing skills on the field, all ages. Minus temperatures but these people are pretty tough and hardy.

Those first days at school. You’ve found your seat and are people watching.
The funny one, the wild one, the brainy one. One who may befriend you.
That’s how this feels.

Millions of cats on here, great as we need cats although they are witheringly disdainful. I have the Moo Deng of cats but with fur and not moisturised.
