Half reflected sunlight on frozen canal.

Frozen in place

Ice, sky, water.

Snow under the moon

Two of my favourite shots from the end & beginning of days walking, the anticipation and achievement. Still not quite back to the big hills yet but soon.

Waterfall, John Knox's pulpit, Fife.

I once got a compliment on my dress from another woman and my response was simply, “Thanks. It has pockets!” and she said, “Isn’t it sad how little it takes to please us?” and that comment has lived rent fucking free in my head ever since.

Wee coo badges

Evri don't ask how the Courier did. Parcel lobbed into garden foliage from street & photographed, again. Because you don't allow them time to do more. Bonus points for last 2 for getting my garden, not my neighbours garden. Please amend feedback form to include Aim accuracy ⭐️⭐️ & throw range ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Solvitur ambulando is my favourite Latin phrase. It means "it is solved by walking".

From 2014-2018 the Trust & UK landowners planted woods to mark the centenary of the First World War. Scotland's flagship site is at Dreghorn, near Edinburgh. This Remembrance Day, we thought we'd share how the wood is developing. A few years = a big difference! More Centenary Woods 👉 buff.ly/EoSA7Yi

No matter how many times I repeat the mantra "The heating is on, you are either IN or you are OUT" Daisy still insists on going in and out all day. Its like the hokey cokey with doors.

#theArchers surprise backstories: Neil is a foundling. Everyone knew. No one mentioned it. Esme lived next door to Archers. Appears to be ages with Brookfield kids despite 'old' dad. No one knew her.

Esme. So she grew up on the farm, helped on the farm, presumably went to school in Ambridge, was probably a young farmer, shopped in the shop etc. How does nobody remember her?🤔 #theArchers

Most potential pet owners consider things like breeding, size, coat, intelligence, trainability, and temperament. Often overlooked is the crucially important element of aerodynamics, which can greatly affect your gas mileage, raising the overall cost of ownership significantly.

Wracked up her 7th vet visit of the last few weeks. Has had an anti-emetic. Is now sleeping off a 30 hour bout of refusing food or liquid, and vomiting. Hopefully that is it for a few weeks.

Daisy is feeling very sorry for herself. She has had 6 vet trips. She has had a scan and I think because of sedation she feels very nauseous. Good news the bladder stone has gone. Send your healing vibes that she gets her appetite back soon 🐾

youtube has changed the style of the thing you click in order to go full-screen. why. why do web developers hate us so. why do they change things for the sake of changing things. "I oversaw a change management process" is NEVER something you want to boast about on your CV.

"Almost half of minority ethnic Brits say they have had negative experiences in nature because of their identity." 👇🏿Insightful piece by @theleaduk.bsky.social. We're determined to break down barriers to Scotland's outdoors, so walking is the inclusive activity that it should be. #BlackHistoryMonth

You don't need to see her identification This is not the dog you are looking for... What? No, I'm sorry this is precisely the dog I am looking for😍 #starwars

More than *anything* the people who actually know how technology works, who actually build things, wish that people would treat LLMs like every other technology, and be normal about them. Don't build a religion about them, don't force them on people, don't ignore the problems. Just be normal.

Our reaction to a further delay by the Scottish Government on the implementation of muirburn licencing.

You're going the WRONG way! The man shouts At the arrow of geese Pointing towards Winter.

Still a bit disappointed they didn't use this cover

Well yeah, but also the shovel guys will go bankrupt immediately if the demand for shovels drops, so they're lending people money to buy shovels against a share of the gold they find but so far there's almost no gold and they just keep making more and bigger shovels, and at some point... 😬

It's nice to see a pot in use, instead of gathering dust on top of a cupboard- using this one to contain the bay leaves. White clay pot with brick red slip sgraffito. #pottery

And last but definitely not least... Me (to a little boy beside me in a cafe who is wearing a yellow coat): Nice coat. Little boy: Thank you. It means when night comes I can hide as a star. Art by Penny Neville Lee. Words by me.

Finished work I started this overly ambitious snow leopard a long long time ago. The colour work is uneven, and the child who requested it is now at uni. But it is now a cushion. A funny, weird, not at all majestic snow leopard. #knit #crochet 🧶

Superb on the mechanics of how knitted fabrics behave & how this influences design. Observe the behaviour of the knit > iterate the design. E.g. workwear such as fisherman's sweater (gansey) where at cuffs, therefore knitting sleeves shoulder to cuff faciltates repair of the part that wears first

Potential app: Tinderware. Like Tinder but for single & separated tupperware to find their matching lid / base. And or compatible stacking set for the polyamarous.

How much money do I need when I retire? I found this table in this article moneyweek.com/personal-fin... Based on a gap between state pension (12,014) and minimum retirement (13,400) of £1,386 that looks doable. 2x state pension already covers the minimum for a couple/ 2 person household. 1/6

www.theactuary.com/2024/11/08/l... Excellent article on the pension gap(s) that was linked to from @henrytapper.bsky.social 's blog.

We must stand together against division, extremism and hatred: wherever it comes from. Our democracy is not for sale. And it is not for sabotage. 5/5

#theArchers Tom, not the principle, just salty he wasn't one of the ones getting paid. Don't they know he has TWINS and a House!

🐩📷 + 🐟📷 = 🛁 Second bath in week #stinkyPuppy brought it on herself #dogs Whoever left that rotting dead fish there. Gonnae no dae that😕

She has seen boxes and bags and detected that someone in the household is going somewhere and she is not impressed. That and the bath that happened earlier.

There's a decent chance of seeing the aurora tonight - it may be visible as far south as the Midlands (perhaps even further south) 🌃
