Happy Gotcha Day to my boy Ripley
14 years have certainly gone by fast
Photo 1 is 8 weeks old and his first night at home

It's been raining a lot in the last 4 days in the North West Highlands of Scotland. On the way home yesterday there was a partial release at Laggan Dam presumably done as the lochs behind were pretty full. The highest I've seen them in the last 7 years at least. #rain #hydroelectric #scotland

As well as having to change a failed Safety Car they should maybe also change the failed FIA #f1 #qatargrandprix

F1 switched to back-up Safety Car after lights failure during Qatar Grand Prix
Formula 1 used two different Safety Cars during yesterday's Qatar Grand Prix after a technical problem struck the first.

Today is #AntarcticaDay started in 2010 and celebrates the signing of the Antarctic Treaty of 1959
10% of Earth set aside for peace and scientific study
I was privileged to set foot on the continent in January 2022 having crossed the Antarctic Circle near Wilhelmina Bay. Memories of a lifetime.

A Bluesky shout out to my local and legendary Cinema/Theatre/Ice Cream Dealer and all round solid folks @lasportrigh.bsky.social
Keeping me and Skye entertained with music, comedy, cinema, theatre and more.
Hey! Las is now on BlueSky!

A wee introduction:

We are the only cinema and theatre on the Isle of Skye
We are run by a small team headed by @shaunpanda.bsky.social
We have had amazing acts in the past and plenty more to come.
We are fiercely independent so we do not receive any funding at all

It's Tongue out Tuesday in Ripley's world today 🐾🐾

Huge thanks to @marekbidwell.bsky.social for sending me a copy of his book #SkyeLine
Can't wait to read it & then add it to my local library seen here on p97 for more people to enjoy
Through the year I pass many folks on the Skye Trail, it's going to be interesting to read about Marek's adventure

A fabulous day following the Northern Isles Community '65s' #Orca pod from land as they headed from Burra to Sumburgh, #Shetland. As they turned and headed north, one of them decided to get airborne and did a spectacular backflip twice in quick succession!

Today on Skye has been a foul grey, wet and windy day thanks to #stormbert
So I'm dreaming of sunny warm days like this beauty in Elgol

Last year, I hiked across the dramatic Isle of Skye from coast to coast.

I published my first book #SkyeLine about my journey (5⭐s on Amazon!) as an indie author. Can you help me spread the word? 🙏🏼

For every LIKE, I'll post a photo from my trip in the thread, and I'll follow you if you REPOST. 🧵

The world would be boring if we were all the same but to each their own on this one.
Can't imagine how sweaty I'd have been in Monza this year wearing one of these outfits instead of my shorts & T-Shirt combos during an Italian Red Warning for Heat!! #f1 #lasvegas

I always get quite stressed packing for long haul...what should go in the case...what should go in carry on. And the all important question when I lock the house..have I left anything behind. Next time I do this I'll laugh, at least I'd didn't pack the wrong front wing #redbull #f1 #lasvegas

It's frozen solid out of there this morning... crunchy snow 🥶
But the boys are loving it

Snow days = DIY days
I've had these tiles since December, yes.... last year.
Finally found the time to rip the ensuite apart and get them on the walls. Tiling is not my day job but I find it very calming! Tomorrow will be grouting day... definitely not as fun 😔

The cold damp thaw has started. The snow and particularly the ice isn't melting fast enough so another day we havent seen postie or past the drive gate. But yesterday we had cold blue skies so I walked to the bench at the top of the garden for some me time! #skye #snow #relax

Absolutely this from both my collies every time someone walks on the footpath alongside our garden
