This is not normal. Prospective heads of state of democratic countries do not post maps of their country taking over neighbours.

This morning was so cold that Loch Harport froze in places and was absolutely still for almost all the day - very unusual for this loch.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

There are about 15 British citizens with learning disabilities for every UK farmer.
And about 7 British citizens with autism for every UK farmer.
Just imagine how their landscape for living might improve with similar political support and media interest

Clear night tonight on Skye with a big moon and getting very, very cold. We are all tucked up in our beds and hoping the next few days bring some warmer weather and a replacement gas heater 🙂

Some days we take the small victories.
This was my mother in law driving around the supermarket in her new mobility scooter which I assembled for her.
For over a year getting around the supermarket has been super hard for her. Now she is getting a little piece of control back.

Sometimes Skye, despite having lived here for over 2 years now, surprises me.
I forgot today was a Wednesday when I tried to call some vets. Half day closing is still a thing up here. Guess I have to call them in the morning instead.

Giddammit. I've accidentally ended up saying I'll write "Masks of Nyarlathotep but its Eris or something I don't know, can I put a giant crab in it?" for the Isle of Pelops. If you back this I might have to actually deliver.
