If you’ve ever read @ianleslie.bsky.social’s wonderful “64 Reasons to Celebrate Paul McCartney”, you’ll know why I was so excited to receive his new book today. Can’t wait to read it! www.ian-leslie.com/p/64-reasons...

With generous support from @ukri.org's new cross research council funding scheme, we recently launched our project 'When Memories Come Alive' with the first meeting of Memory Club, bringing people together from diverse disciplines to reflect on vivid remembering

Accidentally getting quite into restoring my dad's vintage record player. Not sure there is a more middle-aged pastime, but when the weather's so foul outside it's actually very satisfying.

Good excuse to post my favourite Proust photo

When your fancy dress rowing race is cancelled due to Storm Darragh, there’s only one thing to do

I'm a simple soul. All I really want from life is no marking and a nice long walk with the dog.

Always handy after a few lunchtime beers to have a designated driver to get you home safely

One of the many upsides of Bluesky over other platforms, it seems to me, is the significantly higher proportion of people posting pictures of dogs. So good for the soul.

Here's Bessie the first time we met her and immediately fell in love.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is Bessie - who makes every day a Bluesky day

A Bluesky day in Scotland this summer

This Bluesky day was taken in April 2020, the first month of lockdown, when the sun shone and with no traffic anywhere, the air seemed clearer than I can ever remember it.

Welcome to new followers - hope every day is a Bluesky day for you here. To start you off, here’s a country lane nearby
