Winner: Scotland's Most Best Face (23/24 season)

Icon: a smiling bearded man in a blue vest and white cap, a Mediterranean hillside behind
Banner: a frosty winter scene from up a hill, a low sun shining between low cloud and a layer of mist
And now the paella, none of them mysterious denizens of the sea will escape me

My one man war on the tasty tasty squid population of the Mediterranean continues. I will eat then all.

Listening to this while watching a paraglider fly past the hotel, what are the chances?

Check this guy out; if anything he's almost too cool

Gran Senda de Malaga, the Caves to Frigiliana section, I genuinely think it's one of the best walks there is. A lot of narrow paths over steep slopes, last year with my other glasses it was definitely type 2 fun. This year after ditching the varifocals I was able to enjoy it.

I have been walking up and down the sides of various hills and ravines in Andalusia and amusing myself by occasionally going "there's no way the bloody French cavalry will follow us up here (bastids)"

That's The [First thing] [Second thing]

Robert Ludlum does occasionally write a non 'the Name Thing' book, but 'the Mamdani Incident' is spectacularly on brand for him

I like bullfinches though

Coal tit, blue tit (charming little guys), great tit, bullfinch wait no that is a finch, bearded tit, look, here's a poster it's easier

Fairly convinced the "penduline tit" is made up though

Nice, I have gone to Spain for a curry.
It's a long way to go but it's a pretty good curry place.

I'm on my summer holidays!

It's November in Scotland but it's Scottish summer weather in Nerja, bloody lovely it is

I see your game. You're trying to fool me into trying to preorder it and getting really confused when I can't. Again.

Cunningly in his "look, my SS insignia tattoo is gone!" photo he appears to have accidentally shown off a second one. There's a 1919 on the left of the picture, which you might think could be innocent if it wasn't on a guy with a totenkopf.

A letter arrived today that brought me joy. It's stickers from my friend @billhookunion.beanyear.com

I'll be putting one of the round ones on my phone case, but I can't take a photo of the back of my phone without cleaning my mirror so you'll need to use your imagination.

Not a cassoulet, just a sausage casserole with pretensions, but it's turned out cassoulesque and that'll do nicely.

It does not seem promising when the judge writes this about you in a legal judgement

My version of this walk starts along the old North Road, pops into the visitor centre at Killiecrankie for the gorgeous patisserie, comes back down the other side of the river, crosses the Coronation Bridge over the Tunnel, then everyone gets a bit grumpy with 2 tarmac miles, but it's nearly perfect

Yup.

Friends fear he's making chili colorado again, with six different types of chili in it
