A nice trip through to Edinburgh this weekend to see Camanachd Leòdhais progress to the next round of the Chieftan's Cup against Tayforth Camanachd. Lewis were 4:1 winners in the end after a closely contested match. #shinty #iomain #camanachd #sport #ScottishSport

Either the estate agent captured a magical blue van in this video, or they used GenAI and didn’t check the output.

As ever, I can't resist a few black and white edits.

“Defeated candidates did not take part” in the online meeting to identify what went wrong in the Scottish Labour campaign. Examining what went wrong in a political campaign by asking only those who were elected doesn’t sound like a way to get useful answers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sounds like you are following the wrong sport. Skye Sports has the home matches for Skye Camanachd available for free on YouTube. www.youtube.com/@SkyeSports

As a further example of the council choosing not to release data, here is a screenshot of councillor attendance at full council meetings since early 2024. The council stopped publishing this data for full council and committees in late 2023, so the data on the site since then is misleading.

This morning we held our second Glasgow Caledonian University Festival of Education, an online event focusing on preparing for the upcoming academic year. It was great to facilitate a couple of the breakout sessions and see some of the ideas colleagues were sharing.

Glad to be getting our Blackboard Ultra drop-in sessions up and running for volunteer testers and to include a little Gàidhlig on one of our posters. I might not have much Gàidhlig, but I will use the little bits I have at work.

Glasgow Mid Argyll and Kyles Athletic continued their preperation for the 2025 season this afternoon. It finished 2-2 at Peterson Park earlier in a chilly pre-season friendly between the two. flic.kr/s/aHBqjC2yk6 #shinty #iomain #camanachd

Catching up on some photos from the Jack Ashers Sixes tournament a couple of weeks ago. A really enjoyable day of shinty with more than 200 players and 35 teams competing on the day. flickr.com/photos/jmacm... #shinty #iomain #camanachd

An unexpected sight while checking the room before a workshop today. Thankfully not a bad omen. Tom Cunningham and I had an enjoyable workshop with colleagues in the GCU School of Health and Life Sciences. Excellent turnout and some interesting discussions about learning, teaching and AI.

Back to work tomorrow after two weeks off. Getting the chance to watch Travis the bearded collie at one of his regular sheep herding classes was a highlight of the time off, but it is back to normal tomorrow. Hopefully the flurry of emails tomorrow morning will be kind.
