Do you remember listening to the same tracks over and over...

We grow lilies on the Isle of Skye - for no reason, apart from them being spectacular and they look great in our wee AirBnB 'The Fairy House'. Last ones went out today, but there'll be even more next year - who would believe we could grow these on Skye? It's the hydrangeas next!

Your last lilyshot for this year - show's over until next August - short but very, very sweet.

Here's your lilyshot for today - they're sadly coming to an end, so adding in me just to give you a sense of scale...

Here's your lilyshot for today. (We grow these things for reasons we don't understand - they're mental.)

Here's your lily shot for today - this is actually the maddest one - a single stem.

I found these lovely people visiting from America... nothing wrong with a bit of eclecticism... missing are tickets from The Tubes, Iggy Pop (the psychedelic furs blew him away) and the B52's (1st album) - look at the prices!!! - Americans made me what I am today.

Some people grow useful fruit and veg, we grow lilies...

I had no idea that retail Japanese whisky was more expensive than Scottish - what have we done to allow this cultural outrage?

Psilocybin for Vets to cure/mitigate PTSD is a big deal, but with Trump sending 5,000 marines to Iran my new idea is we give them psilocybin BEFORE they get PTSD. You know it makes sense.

So, you know how drones are really incredibly cheap compared to all the hi-tech kit? This is great news because we can cut the defence budget and spend the savings on welfare!

That blemish on Hegseth's chest isn't a birth mark, it's a crusader cross. So, is this whole war thing actually a new Christian crusade against Islam - would fit all of the facts. Never mind 46 years of war with Iran, try a thousand years of Christian intolerance.

I hear Joani Reid has resigned. I'm utterly gutted (if being gutted is a euphemism for being ecstatically delighted). It is so good to see someone who consistently denigrated Scotland 'do the right thing'. Good riddance for all your lies and greed.

What the hell is going on? Sacked Kristi Noem is fobbed off with being the 'Shield of America'. Is she a man? Is this transgender for everyone?

Mouse follows cheese into humane trap, weasel follows for a furry snack.

🚨Parental Guidance🚨We live in the country and the mice come in, get caught in the humane traps and we put them out again. Well, today a mouse got trapped and a weasel followed it in, killed it, and had a midnight snack👇

Imbolc is not a Christian festival but the goddess Bride was reduced to St Bridgit and memorialized in a cross👇 I make one every year because the Celtic symbolism is lost, but not to celebrate the Christian overlay. It's a compromise.

When getting our Imbolc fire going, suddenly realised there was a risk of burning the moon #celt

2,000 years ago Celts built a broch up behind (what is now) our house. Not much has changed.

Trump's plane had to turn round, it's an ominous portent - which he will ignore

Richard Saville-Smith PhD @dranamorphosis.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Hey WEF, Trump is coming to your chocolate box European hills. As his grandiose madness descends, threatening the planet, is it time for a global intervention by the elite who (literally) have most to lose?

So, if there is popular revolt against dictatorial leader Trump in America and dictatorial leader Khamenei in Iran and both respond by cracking down with violence which is the better country? (this is a trick question)

If Trump pardons a crypto criminal, a fraudster criminal and a drug criminal - all at the highest level I guess it means he's scaling up his personal grift?

The weird juxtapositions of social media are what I like. Here, Matisse Les trois soeurs, (1917), immediately above three Palestinian brothers (2025). Doesn't 'mean' anything but...

I've always been dissatisfied with "WEIRD" (Henrich et al 2010), the acronym is too forced and it doesn't identify the actual problems very well. So, me and AI have been spitballing. What do you think about this: HYPERS - it slightly shifts the focus to the researcher not the subject, but that's ok?

Yet another sunny day on Skye, the forecast says it's going to be sunny 'till March...

Sunny autumn day with (nextdoor neighbour) highland cow #Skye

From earlier today (Samhain runs for 24 hours)

Richard Saville-Smith PhD @dranamorphosis.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

On this hill (just behind our house on Skye) Celts marked Samhain 2,000 years ago. If you still call it Halloween you need to update your references. Halloween is the discredited psyops which attempted to erase Celtic culture by dumping a Christian festival on top of a more ancient epistemology.

I can't believe the remaining subversives at the Pentagon have renamed the USS Gerald R Ford (currently sent by Trump to create distraction in Venezuela). The new name is the USS Jeffrey E Epstein. Bravo.

It would help if 'we' stopped calling the Trump carbuncle a BALLROOM. Trump couldn't do a foxtrot, a waltz or any other ballroom dance on those cankles. Call it what it is - a disco - made for corrupt kleptocratic sycophants to line-dance the YMCA.
