Modest Designs @calumraasay.bsky.social (better known for long-form documentary vids on exploration vehicles) walks through his newly built house, situated on Raasay (A Scottish island). It’s a neat little house, with a well thought out layout and the location is wonderful.

Had two separate people say, “Merry Christmas – or can I even say that anymore?” Yesterday. Like mate, the only one ruining it is you with your “can’t-say-anything-these-days” spiel. Just say it. No one cares. Not everything’s a bloody debate.

It might not look like it, but this shed might be around a century old! My seanair took it from fladda, where his father had used it as a cobbler’s workshop, among other things. Before THAT though it was the post office shed on Rona! I’ve salvaged as much as possible to try and save or reuse.

Nuclear War in the UK @coldwar.org.uk · 01/12/2024
When three volunteers tested the government's nuclear shelter advice, they didn't expect such disturbing results. The women became listless and reported hallucinations after just 48 hours in their makeshift fallout room. My article on the 'York Experiment' here: www.historytoday.com/miscellanies...

I think the first gen Nissan Juke is a fantastic, cute design that was ahead of its time. It’ll be a future classic. Bookmark this.

Anything less than wellies and waterproof trousers would be a mistake today. Dark clouds and relentless rain. Mix that with the melted snow and Raasay is flooded!
