Sat 31st January 2026 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. @glasgowcaledonian.bsky.social @thecourier.co.uk @pressandjournal.co.uk

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. <presses play on Episode 1, Series 1 of Schitt’s Creek> Moira Rose 🫶🏻💔🫶🏻

his name is Jonathan Ross and he shouldn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of his life www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

Our pups have been in a ‘huff’ with each other recently. No fighting / arguments / resource guarding etc thankfully, just a weird post Christmas vibe. They seem to have resolved whatever was going on……..

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

We finally have a little snow. Smallest kid is most disappointed school isn’t cancelled.

This is Ollie. He found a perfectly placed carrot snack on his walk. Simply can't believe his luck. 13/10 best day ever (TT: maxime_aries)
