Imagine my shock when I picked this Glasgow gem up in a Blackpool charity shop last year! Great reading in my own dialect 👌🏻

My first thought was “How can they understand our lingo down here?!” 🤣

My current read. Fever of The Bone by Val McDermid, the 6th book in her Dr Tony Hill and DCI Carol Jordan series. 📚

What are you reading at the moment? 📖

Club’s tribute to Diogo had me crying my eyes out - it was so beautiful! 😭 💔

Never did I think we’d be facing such difficult times in my lifetime. Just goes to show how precious life is 😞

He’ll always be my favourite beside Robbo. That will never change. 🥹 ❤️

Our Eternal 20 💔 🕊️

My heart breaks for the Silva family as they start to navigate life without Diogo and his brother, André. Seeing our lads there, they will never be the same either. Truly devastating.

We’ll miss you, DJ20 😞

❤️ Diogo Lives Forever ❤️

Still struggling to process this news. His poor parents, losing two sons, his newly-wed wife and wee children losing their entire world 😢💔

Our Number 20 who helped us lift Title Number 20. Forever a Champion ❤️🕊️

Rest in peace Diogo Jota & André Silva. #DiogoJota #LiverpoolFC #YNWA #RedSky

The final stretch of the academic year with Gold Radio for company. Lots of highlighting, writing and typing to do as I go! 🫣

For anyone who says Business Management is an easy subject, you’re having a laugh!

It’s a lovely day here in Glasgow so I went out to the back garden to check on my compost tumbler 💚

We now have homemade compost which has matured over a 14 month period - and a wee earthworm is present! 🪱

Nature truly is wonderful! 🥰🌱

36 years on, the 97 are still in our hearts & on our minds. As are their families & the survivors of that horrific day ❤️

We will never forget them ❤️

Just recently finished reading Broken Ground by @valmcdermid.bsky.social - another amazing read! 📖

Just one more book to read in the Karen Pirie series, Out of Bounds, then that’s me caught up until Silent Bones is released! 👌🏻

Practising more still life photography. The idea came to me AFTER I had drank the coffee!

That’s the wonderful thing about still life, you can use anything as your subject! ☕️ 📸

Decided to use a teaspoon & a white saucer to represent the importance of resting when you’re low on energy. 💜

I took this photo to raise awareness for chronic illness ✨

My first experience doing product photography! Figured I’d see what I could use indoors to get back into snapping! 📸

Her name is Cookie and she is a Lhasa Apso. She loves getting her photo taken! 🥰 🐾 📸

Ring, ring… 📞

I’m obsessed with anything vintage, so when I turned the corner & seen the row of telephone boxes, I had to snap! Remnants of a by-gone era.

It really is amazing what you find on an SD card when clearing out.

I’ve been taking a prolonged break from photography for health reasons, but here’s a shot taken in Blackpool last year! 📸

Which of these to read going into 2025… 🤔 💭

Nearly read all the books on my bookshelves, planning to buy more books in the new year! 📖

My favourite genres are crime, mystery & thriller! 🔍
