I couldn't tell you the precise strain, but they are delicious.
Big change from last year when the birds DID take all of this tree's before I could get to them.

My front page splash in today's @scotnational.bsky.social.

While the UK Government dithers and debates on taxing wealth more fairly, Scotland could use its devolved powers to tax two large stores of wealth in Scotland.

A reformed Council Tax to tax properties.
And a local Land Tax to tax estates.

I remain bitterly disappointed that the SNP's 2021 manifesto promise to hold a Citizens' Assembly on Council Tax reform by the end of this Parliamentary session was broken.

Surprised by the Hamilton results?

I am.

Everyone forgets that the sofa is also a candidate.

The SNP lost almost 8,800 votes last night compared to 2021. Labour, the victors, lost only 3,600.

Had some fun yesterday introducing another couple of friends to my wee card game Heart Under Blade. This "designing board games" thing threatens to get a bit addictive.

You can try out a digital version on Tabletopia here: www.tabletopia.com/workshop/gam...

The "promise" of carbon capture utilisation and storage is essentially the fossil fuel companies saying "let us keep doing what we're doing and we'll get a wizard to fix the climate later".

Funny how it's all "I hate electric cars and love free markets" until your boss needs a product endorsement.
