How’s YOUR Thursday night? Watching Greece pick its #Eurovision entry too, right? It’s what all the cool kids are doing. #EthnikosTelikos

Happy St Andrew’s Day! This clip from New York tartan day parade is a few years old now but still appropriate. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 💃

A story-telling tale: See this flat tyre? It happened when we were driving between Braemar and Aberdeen while covering the cold weather. (No pictorial evidence of me pushing the van out the ditch sadly!) It meant we had to cancel our plans and take refuge in lovely Ballater hotel. BUT…

A really interesting read this, from the perspective of a journalist.

I definitely used to thrive on being totally and completely alert to every update of every story. Now I’m much better at switching off when I don’t need to be ‘on’.

I’m a journalist and I’m changing the way I read news. This is how.
Sometimes it's healthy to do something you love less, and differently.

🧵❤️ A positive little thread to begin my time here - something that’s made me smile. When I was growing up I went to a high school dismissed as one of the worst in Scotland. Dreaming of a job like mine was seen as just that, a dream. There weren’t any role models I could relate to! (1/3)
