This morning when looking for advice, I decided to phone my dad. I have no idea why, he was taken prematurely by Covid 6 years ago. I actually dialled the number, before realising and was overcome and overwhelmed by that hollow feeling and grief. 😓 Has this happened to any one else?

Well said Annie and spot on Colin

For the millions of patriotic UK citizens who fear Farage and his nouveau Blackshirts, here’s a reminder that we can prevail against the threat of Farage, Tommy Robinson and their thugs: THEY SHALL NOT PASS

So loving riding my Cube Reaction Pro e-bike. I use it as a daily commuter and on the weekends we go and explore trails around Ballater in the highlands. Haven’t ridden a bike for 20 years so I need to get my eye back in. Had a huge crash downhill on Sunday. Ok as I’m fat and bones are protected 🤣

www.instagram.com/reel/DYtTAC6... I’ve seen this reel a lot. I always watch it when it comes up and I’m constantly in awe.

Well bugger me! I’m feel I have been duped, I’ve been mislead all these years. There is no facking chicken in a 🐓 and 🍄‍🟫 pot noodle. It even says it’s sodding vegetarian 🌱! I assumed there would be at least some chicken bits that had been swept from the factory floor in it. My world had been shook!

So randomly at the age of 50, I now love gherkins/ Pickles 🥒 I’m just about every sandwich I make, haven never really been that fussed about them before. I’m not pregnant!! Anyone else experienced a sudden change in palate. I’ve also matured in to liking olives 🫒 but still wary of 🥕

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I haven’t read the article yet, but I detect more bull shit from Donald

www.instagram.com/reel/DXAJBav... This is tremendous ✅🤣

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Whether we like it or not the world is dependent on oil. We can try and reduce our usage, use more renewables, but ultimately we are needing oil. What rocks the boat is dickhead “world leaders” getting involved. So Putin, Netanyahu and Trump, please fuck off!

Just woke up to the horrific news, that shots have been fired at the White House Correspondents Dinner. It’s a sad reflection that my first thoughts were of utter dismay that someone has missed him again! My second thought was this has been staged and is more Trump bull 🐂 shit 💩.

SNP ministers don’t seem to care that the government-owned water company dumps millions of litres of sewage throughout our rivers, lochs and beaches. This year they have even hidden the stats on how much was dumped from public view. It’s a total scandal.

@maggiechapman.bsky.social Hello, recently moved to west Aberdeenshire and It appears there is no candidate for our constituency. I align with most of the manifesto, but would like to know the parties thoughts on Forestry. It’s is a major employer in the region. (1/2)

So that was the best Tuesday of my life. Was like being 16 again ripping it up In the pit. Currently I’m broken on a train back up to Aberdeenshire feeling the decrepit 50 i nearly am. Carl cox was blinding as well. Vinyl 90’s set 😃🔥✅

Little trip back down to England to see some football with some school friends who have been constant dickheads for at least the last 40 years. Jesus I have a hangover, but it was worth it. Love them x

music.apple.com/gb/album/sec... I bloody love this album! Absolute belter 🙌🏽✅

6 years ago Covid took my Dad. A lot has changed since then and I would of loved for him to see what we have achieved. I miss him terribly, and it still hurts that he died in hospital alone.

Having now got a bit more spare time I’m looking at investing in an offset smoker this summer. Need some recommendations please. Got to put up with the Scottish climate, be big enough for a large family. Not interested in pellets or gas. Just proper trad smokers. Thanks for any help.

Hey, FIFA! You need to cancel all World Cup games scheduled to be played in the United States and redistribute those games to be played either in Canada or in Mexico. The US must be sanctioned! #StopTrump

The World Cup must be cancelled. Why would anyone voluntarily come to a country in which a brutal fascist regime is murdering innocent people on our streets and stashing citizens in concentration camps without due process. It is not safe here and will likely get less safe before it’s gets better.

🚨 NEW POLL! Yet another poll has the Scottish Greens overtaking Reform, Labour and the Tories. We would become the second largest party in the Scottish Parliament! On May 7th, let's demand better. Vote Scottish Greens. 💚

@scottishgreens.org I’m dismayed to see that there is no candidate for Aberdeenshire West constituency. How would you like me to vote ?!

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... He’s backed himself into a corner with those idiotic comments. Let’s hope it’s a TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) situation rather than Armageddon! Nobel peace prize, maybe of the table now !!

Happy Easter! We’ve had a lush day in the highlands

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8... This is a classic case of a parable that needs up dating. I’m sure we are all aware of the “Boy that cried Wolf” and what eventually happened to him! In this current era we are experiencing “Donald talks bullshit!” Most rational people don’t believe a word he says.

www.instagram.com/reel/DV5923T... Perfect explanation

news.sky.com/share/13524096 Watch this video and tell me that Trump is fit for purpose.

Dusting of snow this morning

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn... Trump is delusional. He is not fit to run a country

At the next election, there is everything to play for in Edinburgh. Council by-elections show that support for Labour, the SNP and the Conservatives is collapsing because they have all let you down. Scotland deserves better - and with the Liberal Democrats you can vote for it.

This says it all

Regardless of what anyone thinks of this guy, this is pretty huge for #UK politics in general. The country has moved away from the Two-party politics system with just Tories and Labour. Now we need #ProportionalRepresentation and to #RejoinEU www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/gre...

Some more helpful 250 year old graffiti from the Laird. “HE SEND THIS SPRING AMONG THE HILL.” There is a wee spring there too.

The Boss!

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation." RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!

Morning Americans. Have any of you got a plan to remove your warmongering imbecilic President. Life is tough enough, he is making it worse for nearly every single person on the planet. What makes it worse is that he using his presidency like a toy in the hands Dudley Dursley from Harry Potter.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I won’t be attending Ostara this Friday as I’m no longer a local. I’m going to make a trip to my local stone circle ⭕️, TOMNAVERIE STONE CIRCLE in Aberdeenshire. Have a peaceful day, welcoming spring 🌱🌳

Under the SNP, people are facing abominably long waits at A&E. A&E waits will continue to soar if we don’t fix the underlying crisis in care; Scottish Liberal Democrats are the only party banging our drum about this.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Perhaps we should concentrate on oil and gas in the North Sea. Some of which is UK owned. We are trying to be net zero. Norway 🇳🇴 drilled 176 holes last year. The UK 🇬🇧 zero. Ultimately we can do without oil. We should be using ours. It’s on the doorstep so less miles!
