More drilling in the North Sea won't cut bills, protect jobs or provide energy security. #bbcqt

I moved house last week and now I watch the Beechgrove Garden

It's that time of year again

Kilmardinny Loch

I now live north of the Antonine Wall. I feel this is significant.

The bit in 'Matty Groves' when the instrumental starts and the music seems to go backwards one of My Favourite Things this Eastertide

Time and again over the last decade we have defeated this greedy company and their daft mega-resort plans. They just can't take no for an answer though. The Scottish Government must vigorously defend their decision in court. It's time to finally end this saga. #SaveLochLomond

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... This is a beautiful and uplifting listen

Explaining to my boss that I've not done any work for 3 days as I fell into a reverie while listening to the Incredible String Band

The best bits in Time Team were when they all went out on the piss

On spring days like this I long for day trips to @n-t-s.bsky.social places, and to lounge around in their cafes, nibbling on scones.

Book #7 2026

How do we respond to a world bent on war? With beauty. By creating and offering our creation as an alternative. To announce: There is another way! We do not have to believe in borders & boundaries that are imaginary, but in the bond that we all are each others responsibility.

Holding in the information about Billy Ocean singing on Climate of Hunter.

"they were hermitages into which one could retreat for a while" I couldn't think of a better way to describe those winsome days. Peter Ross finding the beautiful words, as always.

The Friends of Rachel Worth deserved more love than I gave it at the time.

Flat cap wearing, but Norman Clegg not Peaky Blinders.

Bruce Springsteen's "The River" album is the perfect length for a train journey from Edinburgh Waverley to Drumchapel (allowing for a 5 minute transfer at Glasgow Queen Street).

For around three weeks this year I was obsessed with Aaron Rodgers.

Van Morrison's 'Veedon Fleece' is a great "getting the train to a funeral" album.

I think I might take to my bed.

That's what I think of you coming round to feed me, pal. Ta!

Monday the 13th is surely worse than Friday the 13th.

🧵 Question: "If chimps are so much like us, why are they endangered while humans dominate the globe?" Goodall: "Well, in some ways we're not successful at all. We're destroying our home. That's not a bit successful." — #JaneGoodall, 3 Apr. 1934 - 1 Oct. 2025 #ForeverInspiring #LegacyOfHope 🧪

I've become increasingly fascinated with this song as the afternoon has worn on. youtu.be/7BkKeMZboYY?...

Book #14 2025

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Any plans for the equinox?

Found my Trout Mask Replica, thank goodness.

Shat myself at the big cymbal crash on 'Jennifer' seconds after I got off the train. Fucking embarrassing.

Bingo! An opening sentence to dig.

Imagine the Time Team x folk horror crossover potential.
