So, I have a large and very busy wasps nest in the external wall of my house, beside my bedroom window. I have some nest killing powder, a ladder and an incontrollable, irrational phobia. But I’ve had an unusual, mid-week large whisky and I have some protective clothing. I’m going in. Wish me luck.

I wear a lot of T-shirts and just ordering some new ones that I’ve put off until I’d moved house. Don’t need T-shirts to make a statement but I love stuff where ‘if you know, you know’. Love this one!!

Some fantastic work done by a contributor called Mango_Yoghurt on the Scottish Rugby subreddit. Some very interesting conclusions to be drawn here. The ‘Zero’ line is each coaches start of tenure…

It’s truly incredible. I have many American friends, mostly who I met through my oldest pal, who was educated at Stanford. Without exception, they are democrats. Even my pal’s step day, who is a “traditional” republican, hates what tRump is doing. The problem is 90% of MAGA cultists…

This is where I saw Star Wars in 1978. Don’t know what it is now. But it’s not a cinema…

Found a farm shop on one of my house hunting trips that did their own Lorne sausage and black pudding. Breakfast of champions!

This is an existential nightmare. I want Edinburgh to win, but I want Everitt to be gone!

The farm shop I got that gigantic pork chop from also did their own lorne and black pudding…. This has not been a good weekend for my diet!

Out viewing a house yesterday and popped into a local farm shop recommended by the estate agent. I may have underestimated the size of their “Pork Chop Steaks”. For reference, that’s a large dinner plate 😬

When you arrive in Oban and everyone in the pub is drinking the same thing, there’s really only one thing to do… lovely pint, to be fair.

This may have something to do with it. If Farrell is looking for a more ‘attacking’ style player, then the difference is very much in Ashman’s favour. We give Ashman a hard time for his set piece (which absolutely needs work!) but this is from the 6 Nations…

I wracked my brain to work out where I’d seen those helmets before. Then it finally came to me…

Mine basically came with a wee pop up that said “You’ll literally eat fecking anything won’t you!!”

Anyone spot the problem with this from the BBC website…. It’s in the Alt text if you’re struggling…

The great thing about having a TV I can see on rugby days from the kitchen is that I end up occupying myself with things I haven’t made for ages! 😂

Shall we open up each section of the bar? Nah, let’s only open 2 of 4 so the punters still have to queue for ages. 🙄

Hey. When we go back to club rugby we’re back to normal jogging right… 😉

Saw this on a post on the old place from @dougtheprop.bsky.social . What fresh hell is this?! I’m guessing they’re not fans of scrums. So come the RWC of 2027, either we all play by these laws or USA gets battered because they don’t have anyone that can scrummage.

Ms B is getting more into rugby. At 22, she’s probably in the target demographic for expanding the women’s game. She recently went to buy some merch for #Edinburghrugby Fair to say she was unimpressed by the selection. So she did a bit of research and put together this graphic.

So this weekends exercise (beyond watching rugby) has been harvesting my chilli plants and making Habanero Jam. In a completely unrelated query, does anyone know where I can get small hazmat labels. Thanks.

Had a strange moment just now. Was chatting to a couple of great people here about attempting to cook while watching rugby. I took a photo and had a sudden realisation that this is actually the best pictorial description of me I’ve ever seen. So: Hi BlueSky friends. This is who I am. 🙏

Walked the dogs there today and took some shots if you’re interested. Gives a view of the ditches and ramparts from ground level.
