The strictly impartial BBC reporting on behalf of the Pro-Israel British establishment. How can these two stories be posted on their website without it being anything but exactly that.

How do you learn a tune from this? Ask a Scottish bagpiper. This “language@ is caintereachd (Kanter-ach “ and shows the vocables used to teach a tune by singing. It’s existed for generations and contains info about note and rhythm. Excellent fun.

This is a very good point. And well made, too. Especially the bit about the testicles of the Tangerine Shitgibbon. The rest is true also. Naked capitalism at last. Here’s a picture of them both at a party organised by Geoffrey Epstein. It was taken by Prince Andrew. At one of Putin”s palaces.

This is how it appears in Scotland. This is appeasement of a truly horrible man with the likelihood of worse to come. Americans have no family memory or history of fascism, unlike Europeans, or most of the world. I wonder if that is part of why he got the votes?

We all need a practice that delivers some peaceful moments. Mine is playing ani instrument. There’s some ultra-crocheting folk in Scotland. Proper hard core. I can see your cactii?? in that little ecosystem.

Dusk at the beach. Sometimes I wander the dunes and try to imagine my work plans slowly merging in my brain into a multi-dimensional strategy to help my employers manage their sustainability obligations as sentient human beings. Other times, I think ‘fuck it’, and just wander. Usually, I just wander

Roibosch versus green tea kombucha. I’m trying different teas. So far, a 50/50 mix of roibosch and assam is my fave. Secondary fermentation with dried mushrooms or turmeric is proving nicer than fruit, although fruit is still very good.

The origin story of one of the formative albums of my youth? The album blew my mind and has stood the test of time.

Eek. I’m only on P57 and things are already getting intense. I’ve seen AI output in my work only twice (and labelled as such ). It’s kind of humbling.

Happening now in a tiny wee village hall near #LochNess. I can’t seem to upload a video. Perhaps one day. Anyway, it’s mental. There are weans going nuts on sugary drinks and sweets, adults getting a few drinks in, … pretty chaotic. As it should be. #bagpipes #indigenousasfuck

Hills in the summer. Mountains in the winter. The highest wind speed recorded up on these tops was 173mph. And you can see the pub from where I sit, almost. . #Cairngorms. I couldn’t be bothered with work today , so I took a days leave and came here instead. I’ve never liked Mondays

Some photies from this afternoon, wandering the rocky coastline of Moray. My great-great-great-something ancestors saw these same caves. Two examples of graffiti… old and new, or is it? And a rock face. I come here regularly, especially autumn and winter. I enjoy the rock pools and tides.

You can see how far the sea has encroached on the land using the ‘pill box’ as a reference. I was lucky beyond words and had access to this over lockdown. Since then, tourist numbers have gone up loads. Space for visitors, certainly, except twats, eejits, fascists, Trump,

I walk on the beach at every opportunity. Who wouldn’t , if you had the chance. These structures were built to repel any nazi invasion 75 years ago. In the far away background is the focus of huge renewable energy potential. About to be drained out of Scotland by the UK treasury. #indyref2

Friday night for me is often about nice whisky, usually an Isla malt, if I’m honest, and practicing my #bagpipes. Whenever I play in public, drams are usually involved, so practicing as I perform is helpful. Full set of Scottish Borders pipes. Awesome in their awesomeness.
