Old as time. Living the Skye life, a beautiful island off the remote north-west Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Have travelled to one or two countries. I also run a holiday home with more than enough room to swing eight cats, but I don't allow pets.

Sadly my MP Angus MacDonald is against this because we don't have enough care homes for the elderly and so they might want to die instead. Bit of a weird argument if your end of life is a mess because you can't get properly cared for due to lack of resources.

Last snow day before the thaw. Between Carbost and Struan, north-west Isle of Skye.

Love these wintry days on Skye - sun, blue skies, mountains, snow and sea!

Protesters in Abkhazia (Georgia's breakaway region) broke into the parliament building. The protests are against the ratification of the investment agreement with Russia. The agreement would allow Russia to buy everything for cheap, hurting the economy and scamming everyone.

Attention, Baltic States! Russian propagandist Solovyev: «Destroying the worthless statehood of the Baltic states is not a malicious plan. It is simply the liberation of lands that have nothing to do with these Nazi regimes and the restoration of the rights of Russian-speaking people»
