We had a drive to Edinburgh today to visit the Castle. It's surprising busy for a weekday outside the holiday season. We drove up the 197 and back via the A1

Little did I know that the path through Harbottle Wood was non-existant on the ground. It was a long slog through the woods and then through heather and bracken in the access land. It was nice up there though.

I got the feeling someone was trying to put me off this walk. Apart from live ammunition being fired, unexploded ordinance, dangerous forestry works, and unstable log piles what could possibly go wrong!

On a rather wet group walk this morning we passed this carved stone, a "recent monument". I didn't even know it existed.

Earlier I was going to walk across the stepping stones and return by the bridge. I ended up taking the bridge both ways!

On the face of it more landlords quitting should put more houses on the market, lowering costs. However on reading the article the reduction is in the number […]

New analysis from @britishelectionstudy.com highlights a critical point I made in my post about the liklihood of a Reform election win this week.

Labour's lost votes from 2024 have nearly all gone to DK/LD/Green. There is a viable anti-Farage coalition there.

Personally, if the only issue was Angela Rayner being given the wrong advice then paying the tax when discovered I would not have an issue with it.

# OpenSuse

What ever happened to the name change? Last year there were a number of posts saying that they would have to change the name because Suse wasn't going to renew permission to use it. It still seems to have the same name.
