She’s a hoot. Sorry for being blind to the fact that she’s a Cairn. Here’s our two.

Trying to play Scrabble with a needy Scottie.

Such a bitter pill that it's taken Jane Goodall's death to remind me of how many empathetic, amazing people there are in the world. The tributes are incredible. I am partially restored to where I was emotionally before the Reagan-Thatcher neoconservative project took hold in the '80s. Long ago.

OK, someone decode the grieving widow's sleeve buttons for me. Thanks. cid:EE6993DC-0254-4660-8DB0-A275F08D852A

A little landscape, of a Scottish coastline, after eight weeks painting in a technical college. Haven’t touched a paintbrush since I was 11 and I turn 69 on Sunday. Having the time of my life.

I have done an acrylic still life, 57 years after last using a paint brush. Very pleased and utterly exhausted.

This. A protester in London banging an empty pot with a wooden spoon. Powerful. Moving. Distressing.

Having a lot of fun making finger food for a small Christmas in July party tonight.

Pulitzer for this (as yet uncredited) photograph in the US edition of The Guardian.

I drew a picture of my dog yesterday at art course at TAFE and my partner recognised him. Miso the Scottish Terrier. I am 68 and haven’t wielded a pencil since 1967. Chuffed.

It’s official. Gerry Harvey owns the SMH.

We are all drinking the Kool-Aid now.

Why is this entire news thread about Dutton? Because he, like Trump, is leading the disinformation discourse? No sunstance; all shouting. C’mon, The Guardian, you can do better.

A very interesting read at this juncture in US and global politics.

Is it fancy dress?

Listening to a great NPR doco on GM’s EV1, made donkeys years ago. What a little beauty. (Sorry, can’t make the link work).

Santa was VERY patient while we wrestled with two young Scotties in 37C heat for our photo at the NSW Scottish Terrier Club Xmas party, jointly held with the West Highland Terrier club. We, the former, were outnumbered, sorry to say. What a hoot, mon!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
