Woman with a coffee problem. Mum to L & D. Here for the chat: parenting, carers & disability/policy/business/gardening. And whatever else takes my fancy. Clackmannanshire advocate. Always crisps before chocolate. Views personal.
I’m not sure there’s anything more discombobulating for people in Scotland than leaving a building and it being hotter outside than inside.

This power grab is unprecedented, unbounded, and unconstitutional.

Reminded this evening- I was at a department store looking for a bra and this 60 ish year old guy came up to me. I braced in dread, but really softly he asked, “Can I ask you for some help? My wife just had a mastectomy and I want to get her something that will make her feel pretty but is soft.”

Ok so lots of voters like straight talking, they bake-in click-bait sound bites and it doesn’t really alarm them, in fact they like the entertainment, but surely there must come a point when they recognise full-on derangement in their leaders and it starts to worry them?

Breath of fresh air this morning. View from Alloa town centre - the hills are looking gorgeous, with sunlight hitting some fresh snow amidst some low misty clouds.

In the face of a terrible tragedy, pointing to a vulnerable group of people (who have absolutely nothing to do with the issue) as scapegoats to blame is plumbing the depths of despicable leadership.

The launch of a new ferry in Scotland is a good opportunity for news to feature lifeline service issues for island communities….but I’m afraid @BBCScotlandNews have lost their minds if they think it justifies an extended live edition of #ReportingScotland.

Dear universe, I really do have enough to deal with on a Monday morning without the added thrill of a power cut at peak breakfast-getting ready time and all that entailed.

Carers didn’t turn up this morning. Looks like for the 2nd time post-Covid we’ll have to find a new provider. Same as last time - 3rd sector org, lack of staff, illness and the stress on managers leads to collapse of service. On and on it goes. #socialcare

This is genuinely disastrous for a sector that’s already completely broken and without which we can neither solve problems in NHS nor get more people back to work.
Desperate times for social care following the UK budget @channel4news.bsky.social Here @ccpscotland.bsky.social 80+ major not for profit providers of social care have written to the chancellor pleading for an exemption. bit.ly/3Zk8x4n Rachel Reeves refusal to shift totally self-defeating.
