i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”

basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

i feel that with my dad.

So during the October holidays we decided to get down and visit Liverpool. It was our 1st time down and it was well worth the visit. We will definitely have to head down again as I think we have only really touched the top of the iceberg #liverpool

Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether #1stammendment
STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Nailed it.

The more I read the news and the more I see where we are going the more agree and believe in this dream. Let’s make it a reality #scottishindependence #scotland
11 years ago, Scotland was inspired to think big. To imagine a better future, in our own hands.

Today, the case for independence is stronger than ever.

Independence is the fresh start Scotland needs - with lower bills, a fairer society, and our rightful place in Europe.

It is our right to decide #scottishindependence #scotland
It’s our right and our opportunity to write the next chapter in Scotland’s story together.
