I had a cataract op yesterday and a lens replacement. NHS Scotland did a sterling job. Everyone was kindness personified and my daughter is feeding me. My pupil is still dilated so the light is too bright yet. I watched tv last night without glasses for the first time in 57 years!

@lauriestonp4-3.bsky.social It was lovely to meet you today, primary 4/3. Lots of good answers to my questions. It was nice to see such keen readers. I've kept a book for H. I hope to see you soon.

@janebettany.bsky.social I've just finished Murder in Merriwell, having read Murder at the Book Festival first ( I know, wrong order). I loved it! The plot races along. I thought I had worked it out, then changed my mind. I really like the character of Violet. She's very real. Great novels. Thanks!

@boomradio.co.uk Fabulous show on Boom Rock today between 12-2. The choice of music was second to none. Thank you

I don't get why everyone is so shocked at Trump's comments and actions since he was inaugurated. He showed you who he was the first time he was in power. As Macbeth said, "I am yet but young in deed." Americans, you voted for him. What can you do to remove him?

The government alarm just went off in central Scotland. The storm is coming

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social Dear Mark, I had read somewhere that you had only just escaped a wildfire near your home. I hope it wasn't true and really hope you and yours are ok.

Like and Repost if you agree?

Hello BlueSky. We had held off starting a dedicated channel to see how BlueSky evolved instead posting all of our 10 Bylines on @bylinesnetwork.bsky.social, but given how fast BlueSky is growing, now is the time to make the jump. Please help spread the word that Central Bylines are now here

Today's task will be taking down a mustard velvet curtain which is liberally splattered with dark blue paint. The grandson is not to blame, I am. A wee incident involving a paint pot and unattached lid. Fingers crossed it'll come off

Just tried to visit mum in hospital. Deep flooding and I didn't see the pothole which has demolished my front tyre. Bugger
