Feels a bit doom and gloom of late, so here's my suspicious border terrier, Scout, investigating who this 2d interloper is. Scout watches so much TV she's keyed in to credits and theme tunes and wakes up to check what show we are watching next if she's snoozing.
A suspicious border terrier watching a television with a border terrier on it. Violence was avoided... this time.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

Really like Voi as a fun and flexible way to travel Edinburgh. But I hope they scale the fleet quickly. Getting a Voi from the outskirts of the zone to the centre is frustrating in the morning, and getting one back from centre to the outskirts is a pain in the evening. Can't be unique? #EdTravCyc

"The transformation of the larval Reform candidate to its mature adult form is one of nature's most remarkable journeys. The pale larvae begin to change colour almost immediately after its first exposure to democracy, evolving into a cynical, tangerine lump over a bitter period of growth."

The night before Scotland Vs England seemed a perfect time to watch Laoch. An excellent and emotional choice. If you want an amazing story of personal and sporting resilience and the rise of women's rugby, I can't recommend it highly enough. youtu.be/qr_cKcXZNGM?...

Happy election manifesto week in Scotland! A particular nod of the hat to the Tories' battle against net zero, which bravely protects vulnerable communities (cows) from the "widespread culling of farm animals to cut emissions" inherent (implicit/assumed) in all net zero murder policies #WarOnCows
The image is an excerpt from the Scottish Conservative Manifesto, which demonstrates what a serious party of Government they could become through their brave battle against the War On Cows.

As a Scotland rugby fan it's infuriating the the SRU continue to treat our awesome women's team like crap. Equally frustrating that they keep getting away with it without consequences. Hard to see what to do as fans? Don't pay to support them seems like a poor option. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...
