How I’m walking out of 2025…

🔴 ❤️ 🔴

Postie brought a leaflet from Reform UK today, in Glasgow. Incl a 2nd Class postage paid envelop. If you get one, remember to post the envelop back to them, empty or perhaps with a special message. Every envelop returned will cost them 85p. If every Glasgow household does that, cost will be £250K 😂

Hibs right now…

My letter in @thetimes.com today: what is the economy for? #PublicHealth #Wellbeing #Environment #Inequality

Alexa, play Joy Division...

Today's column is on the relentless march of blithering idiocy, which includes denying climate science while your house is - literally in this case - burning down. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Now THAT’S an entertaining thread!

Huge news from Blakeney Point...

Good Aberdonian question this week

In 1599, Elgin Kirk Session were *very clear* re: Xmas No snowballs No carols or other singing No guising (fancy dress) No crossdressing No bagpipes or fiddles No dancing No football in the streets No ropeswings No groups of women haunting the churchyard No "umcomelie speeches" #OldWeirdScotland

No. 5 in our Top 10 highlights of wildlife seen on our 2025 tours - this nursery pod of Pilot Whales in Mousa Sound. Some of the calves were tiny and looked just a few weeks - if not days - old. Footage by @hughharrop.bsky.social #MarineLife #MarineMammals #CetaceansUK #UKWildlife

A useless MP from a useless party. He deserves to be out on his arse.

One for you @cyclegranny.bsky.social And another

If you're crazy about bike riding it may be considered a cycle logical issue. #DadJokes

Well, that’s sad… 🖤🖤🖤 deadline.com/2025/12/perr...

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

Fun fact about Nigeria: they recently shut down a lot of car battery recycling outfits to conduct tests. Tests to study the large amount of lead being let off by these companies, poisoning the local populations. These companies? US automakers that refuse to start certification programs.

Maybe the most beautiful light I’ve ever seen in Troon today. And the water so still and the grass so green.

Place tidied, turkey carcass stripped. stock made, turkey soup on the go and back on the leftover booze.

I asked a question at a company AGM, the person after me suggested it was “a great question, badly asked”… 😳😦☹️😂😁😂😁😂😁

Christ on a bike, this is brilliant. And disgustingly historically accurate. 10/10

I’ve seen many people discussing sharing Christmas with relatives with #dementia - here is a #poem about the happiness that was sparked whenever we watched Rising Damp with my mum

Scotland fans! One of our World Cup 2026 opponents Morocco, are in action against Mali on TV tonight (4Seven 19:55📺). Morocco are ranked 11th in the world, haven't lost in 20 games, and are the AFCON hosts. Mali are ranked 53rd.

A few years ago...Australia’s oldest man knitted tiny sweaters for penguins injured in oil spills..... ( Just ths once.... #MensArt ;) )

No. 6 in our Top 10 highlights of wildlife seen in 2025 were several encounters with Humpbacks including a MATCH to an individual first documented off the Azores in 2016, off Svalbard in 2017 and then by us here in Shetland in March 2025. Amazing! #MarineLife #MarineMammals #CetaceansUK #UKWildlife

RIP John Robertson. Didn't look or move like a footballer, but assisted and scored in successive, winning, European Cup finals. Impossible to dispossess, again and again he allowed Clough's Forest to re-shape and reorganise around him. What a player. Working class hero.

Still one of my favourite memes from last Christmas...😉 #StarWars #Snowman

Merry Xmas slags…

All done and dusted, bar the biscuits and cheese (which got delayed due to gluttony in other areas). Everything is washed, dried and (mostly) put away. Now for a sit down, a beer and some Morecambe and Wise on the TV.

No. 7 in our Top 10 highlights of wildlife seen on our 2025 tours were several sightings of 'Northern' Long-tailed Tits in Autumn. Watching these flying lollipops was a privilege and we are not sure there is a word that can justify their beauty! #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #UKWildlife

I think I may burst…. #StappitFoo

This evening's thought to ponder from Maggies Farm.

Happy Xmas everyone! Hope your days are full of joy.
