Easter is the story of hope that triumphs over pain and persecution. For those who celebrate, our faith is what keeps that hope alive.

Happy Easter to those celebrating around the world.

A portrait of ancient Scots pine trees on an atmospheric morning. I love the moment when the light starts to interact with the morning fog.

I remember it being unpleasant & a lot less fudge-y.

This is Dixie. She's only sticking her tongue out to give you a convenient place to put treats. It's called being considerate. 12/10

Did you see that there are food shortages in Germany? German government is now advising people to stock up on cheese and sausages.

This is called the
Wurst Käse scenario.

We only rate dogs. This is a very cuddly croissant. We understand the confusion between puppies and pastries, but please only send dogs. Thank you... 12/10

In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

Even 150 years ago, people were taking silly photos of their pets (1875).

They did actually take a nice picture together, not just a blurry thing as I was walking past.

Poor Nancy. She’s not seemed this upset since she joined our family. Poor wee mite.

Well the weather in Edinburgh has been fun today!

So, today has been a DAY.

Nervous Nancy wouldn’t go out in the wind. Brave blind Blondie cuddled in to make sure she was okay, then was so disorientated with the wind that he landed in the pond and had to be showered to warm up. Trauma for all involved. #dogsofbluesky #stormeowyn

Married 11 years today. #StormEowyn summered our plans for a nice Thai meal in Edinburgh, so some frozen ready meals, a pot of loose leaf tea, and Scrabble to celebrate instead!

Who says romance is dead?

I have also discovered that my Bluesky feed is over-representative of my US social media.

Scottish folks, where are you at?

Brits, hit me up so I can get my timeline less skewed towards US politics!

Eowyn for sure has been no joke.

To those who said that it was all over-hype or mainland softness, just #haudyerweesht

The last red weather warning we had in Central Scotland was in 2012, with 102mph recorded on Blackford Hill in Edinburgh. A good piece by BBC Weather presenter Christopher Blanchett @chrisblanchett.bsky.social: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
