Happy Friday! Trying to remind myself of this lesson.

Day 14 with Ollie. Making sure he gets his veggies

Researchers at Aberdeen Uni are looking for ppl in rural & island Scotland to help shape research into healthcare provision for specific medical conditions. Check out the link for more info on the project & how to get involved. www.abdn.ac.uk/iahs/academi... #RuralHealth #IslandHealth

Is anyone else getting multiple porn accounts following them each and every day? Becoming a real pain blocking them all. I hope they get this sorted @bsky.app

Day 13 with Ollie. Christmas tree comes down tomorrow. Wonder how much he will have grown when it is next up.

"On Her Majesty's Slippery Surface" 😍😍😍 Best gritter lorry name. Ever. 😆

Day 12 with Ollie. Had a bit of a busy night cleaning up after his jab and worming but he is still a happy chap.

Day 11 with Ollie. First trip to the vet, not a sound when he had his jab and he also happily ate his worming tablet without any fuss

They say money can’t buy you love. Well it can’t buy you intelligence or common sense either.

It didn’t last long. Now getting multiple porn accounts following me each day. Why can’t they stop this centrally as they are easy to spot. Blocking them all is becoming a pain and makes this places much less enjoyable @bsky.app @support.bsky.team

Not a bad day to be at sea

Day 10 with Ollie. I think this picture will explain it best

A wintery view today and a bit breezy but nothing bad. Should hopefully all be fine for a ferry trip into Kirkwall tomorrow ⛴️

Another of the #progressivevoices to amplify for 2025 - Anna Kendrick - who donated her fees for her brilliant directorial debut to victim support charities

The 1st photo taken just before 1pm as the men's New Year's Ba was about to be thrown up. 2nd a screenshot from livestream about 3 1/2 hours later as the game goes on up the top end of the town. It's a mad event really...which is why I spent over 5 1/2 hrs outside today watching 🫣 #Kirkwall #Orkney

Written by me. If you like the tweets here, you & a little one may enjoy theses. RT’s appreciated #ShinyPippin and the Broken Forest is a truly magical book, It’s full of important things like magic, adventure, friendship, and lots of giggles just like every book should be. See also Mr #IndiaBones

A persistent misconception about summer 2024 in the UK is that it was wetter than normal. A remark on the 'wet summer' was even made in London's New Year fireworks display! Yet, for most regions (and most of the population) it was notably drier than normal! www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/cli...

Could 2025 be the year we finally start to understand dark energy? A map of 31 million galaxies created by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument will be released next year, and could shed light on the origins of this force www.newscientist.com/article/mg26... docs.google.com/document/d/1...

A celestial blessing for the year ahead.. have a great 2025! #Papay #orkney #aurora

Day 9 with Ollie. Yeah …. Of course we got him a bed we can all lay down in together

When the alert goes out that the #NorthernLights are out so the layers go back on from a trip out to the garden #Orkney #AuroraBorealis #NewYearsDay

Beautiful New Year's Day aurora in Orkney

Day 8 with Ollie. Not wanting you to think all he does is sleep. It’s just that it the best time to take that isn’t just a fur blur

Day 7 with Ollie. So his batteries do run down …. Eventually

It’s that strange Limbo time between Christmas and New Year when Pringles and Matchmakers washed down with the cheap vodka your brother gave you is a legitimate meal. If you’re at a loose end you can catch every episode of Call Jonathan Pie on BBC Sounds. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...
