I make a mean haggis spring roll! One year, Burns Night and Chinese New Year fell on the same day and these babies celebrated both of my ethnicities with each mouthfull! 😋
The benefit of having a friend in Fife is that they bring you presents from Fisher & Donaldson when they visit... There really is nothing quite like toasted butteries 😍

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

One of my favourite films of all time! The rewatch was almost as good as the first watch, seeing just how they pulled it off. I envy people watching it for the first time, and the ride they're about to have.
it’s nicholas van orton’s birthday today…fingers crossed it’s just cake this time🎁

If you're looking for a wee stationery treat and want to support a small UK business then look no further! Gorgeous designs and and the product quality is 👌 #speakingfromexperience
If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business.

It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI.

Sunday School: The #WorldofWarcraft Edition 🙌

My 13 year old nephew wanted to play, so me and @hbbdoesit.bsky.social rolled new toons this morning to game with him. Spot which one is the 13 year old... he -swears- that name was randomly generated 👀 and in Scotland no less!!

This is turning out to be a week for #GhostSigns 😍

This one above the old Red Box in #Marchmont, which reclaimed its old name 'Cuthbert's' after a recent renovation. Can highly recommend their bagels!

Also seen in Dept Q, pretending to be an 🍦 parlour.

I made @hbbdoesit.bsky.social a mix CD 20 years ago, back when we were dating long distance. He still has it 🥰 Some of it hasn't aged well... but some of it has: Teardrop, Massive Attack | Glory Box, Portishead | Hammering in My Head, Garbage to name a few of my faves.

I haven't been active on or even really looked at Twitter for months now, but after Grok's latest update I deactivated my account this morning. Better late than never.
