As nurses in our Scottish NHS it is so demoralising having Labour telling lies repeatedly about our NHS. It is the best performing NHS in the UK.

Amongst all the bad we see my pink berried rowan tree outside my window gives me great pleasure. The leaf colours of autumn are magical. Each season offers something new and every year we watch the progress of plants.

@mattlewishistory.bsky.social morning Matt, have you watched the Will Young Who Do You Think You Are episode? Interesting conclusion to his lineage.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social please remember the @snp.org call in Parliament for a ceasefire. That was 24th February 2024. How many people have died since then? The Speaker and Labour opposition were instrumental in disallowing the vote going ahead.

@almurray.bsky.social and James Holland- found this photo amongst others taken by my dad at the end of the war. He started in 7th A&SH but ended his service in Egypt with REME. He’s written the date on the original photo but it gives an idea of the headlines on the day - & it’s importance to him.

Donald Trump is ramping up his trade wars and crashing the global economy. He's not sparing the UK from his new tariffs, so why should we roll out the red carpet for him with a second state visit? Join more than 200,000 of us, add your name to he petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

The SNP is marking the 3-year anniversary of ScotRail being brought into public ownership

A report shows "strong growth in both passenger journeys and revenue" in that time

Every English BBC region had lengthy segments dedicated to Labour's welfare cuts on their Sunday Politics show as did BBC Wales. The odd one out was BBC Scotland. Here is every intro from every English programme. Any explanation Martin Geissler? Are you proud of this?

Sun is very bright but even with the blind down we can enjoy the birds. Mostly robins and blue tits who have nested in the garden for the last two years.

@willdalrymple.bsky.social @anitaanand.bsky.social I’m catching up with your Irish series & would like to bring to your attention that Scotland ‘s Ministers in Holyrood have consistently called for a ceasefire since the war started. In fact you may recall that a Parliamentary motion was put forward

I enjoy mark making, evoking surface or landscape, it’s the marks that matter.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Since Brexit Vance sees UK as separate, on its own. So like all predators they attack the one that is apart from the rest of the tribe.

One of the loveliest walks, up by the Hermitage at Dunkeld. A lovely way to spend a Saturday. Have you been there?

@willdalrymple.bsky.social I’m really enjoying the Moghal series of Empire podcast. I wonder if you have plans to talk about Jantar Mantar sometime? I have visited the Jaipur and Delhi Jantar Mantar sites and was blown away by what we saw, especially in Jaipur.
