I'm up to my arse in alligators at the moment actually, but still trucking! DACA's community alcohol service will be shutting in Jan (after 50 yrs) after council awarded the contract to huge national org with £80M in public sector contracts. An awful decision, IMO...but c'est la guerre.
And you? X

^^ Although this attitude may explain my relative penury! 😁

I wonder this too. There's a certain local businessman, late 70s, richer than God (ish!) and yet I see him driving in to his empire pre-dawn every day even on weekends, and finishing up at 7pm or later and I just think...haven't you got enough money now? Take a day off, FFS 🙄

Spook! I was just there...

PPS this is one of the DACA dugs...Rosie. She's a wee midden, but ridiculously cute 😍

PS did this at the weekend. It was good, 8/10.

...but I'm ready for a wee break so thanks for the suggestion 😊

Aw Dolly 🥰 she's a wee dote.
I haven't done any Doug Sinclair books...got a feeling he's on my list somewhere from a previous recommendation, so I'll give him a go.
I've rattled through a half dozen of James Oswald's 'Inspector McLean' series recently- which are sort of 'spooky tartan noir'...

Any good book recs this weather, Kate?

Yes, it was a douzy. Hope there's a second season 🙏

Yes, lots of proper guffaw moments. Like when Val made her comment about Gordon Brown's eye and Nicola Sturgeon almost cringed herself inside out 😳🤣
All fun and games, right enough 🤣🤣🤣
Wish it had been a longer show.

It was hilarious, too. Hope wee Douglas Ross' ears were burning 👀😆

This is just awful.

Ah, 'A Little Life'...I'm still scarred from that one.

From the early chapters of this book, I was imagining Campbell as Andrew O'Hagan - an intellectual Scottish aesthete who smells awesome :)

Reform result tho 😞
