I've seen a few folk sharing their StoryGraph round-up for January, so I thought I'd post my own. A pretty good start to the year in terms of quality. I also just finished No Body No Crime by Tess Sharpe, but I guess that'll be in Feb's round-up.

Another trek around the Pentlands. This time taking in Threipmuir Reservoir and Loganlea burn valley.
I'm standing in a scenic valley. Marshy land beside a reservoir. I'm standing on a bridge by a reservoir. View of distant hills through a valley.

First walk of 2026 out on the Pentland Hills, taking in Glencorse Reservoir and the Castlelaw Earth House.
In the Castlelaw Earth House. Me on a hill in winter, low sun at my back. Standing on a weird black funnel in the woods. Sitting on a tiny bench overlooking Glencorse Reservoir.

This fella just bopped me on the head while I was out walking the dogs. And then I found a tenner!

I just had the same problem and had to switch to Chrome from Firefox to complete the order. Web designers I've worked with prioritise the build for Chrome and Safari and don't really troubleshoot for Firefox etc.

Megan figured that lying directly on top of Meeshka wouldn't be comfy. So, she's used a cushion.

I think Meeshka likes the new rope toy.

I was at the Bunnet Stane and cave yesterday, just goofing about.
I'm climbing on the rocks at the Bunnet Stane. I'm pretending to hold up tbe Bunnet Stane with one hand. I'm just standing by the rocks, looking into the wind. I'm grimacing in the cave at the Bunnet Stane.

Delighted to be wading through snow this afternoon on the way up Seamab Hill by Pool of Muckhart. And stopped in at Mona's Cafe for a roll afterwards.
Me standing on a bench, up Seamab Hill, surrounded by snow. A beautiful sunny day looking across green, rolling hills from the snow covered path up Seamab Hill. Me, holding a ball of snow on the slopes of Seamab Hill. Me, coming back down the snow covered Seamab Hill, with the sun behind me and green fields in the distance.

Had to do a double take when I saw these fellas in their white van today.
Two German Shepherds sitting in a white van. They look like driver and passenger.

A few good days out this month. We got up Dumyat, had a walk around Valleyfield woods and visited Linlithgow Palace.
Me and my pal, Nebo, pulling our tough guy faces, at the top of Linlithgow Palace, with the spire of St Michael's Parish Church in the background. Me reaching the top of the spiral stairs it Linlithgow Palace, holding open a big wooden door. Me in the woods at Valleyfield, autumn leaves oo the ground. Me at the top of Dumyat on a clear day, just a few fluffy clouds in the sky and great views in the background.

Had a fun night out last night catching up with a couple of Shetland BFFs as they passed through town.
Myself, Angela and Steven smiling at the camera while sat in front of a restaurant table with many plates of kebabs and dips and the like.

I took a wander up Conic Hill today wae Unca Nebo. Busy place. I especially enjoyed the rocky path up and the blustery wind at the top. I felt usually energised, like I could have run up!
I'm standing on the shore of Loch Lomond, Balmaha, wearing a blue fleece top on an overcast afternoon. I'm halfway up Conic Hill. My arms are spread dramatically wide with a view over Loch Lomond in the background. Unca Nebo gestures, one hand in front of him, almost Shakespeareian, at the start of the rocky path up Conic Hill. I'm lounging on a metal bridge by Loch Lomond, feet on the railing on the left,elbows on the railing on the right.

I bought this coat in a charity shop today. Great fit, great condition. Checked the inside pocket and found a train ticket from 1988!
I'm striking a dramatic pose as I wear a long grey winter coat. A return train ticket from Glasgow to Falkirk, dated 10th February 1988, costing £3.20.

Good tip. I hadn't bought anything today but threw a couple of quid at a HHY & The Kampala Unit album I'd happened upon a while back. Now to check out what else the label has!
