- Yes, I’m a 100 years too old for it, but that Opalite mv is the perfect serum for too much drearily grim news this week. To take a stray remark made to [a Eurovision 🎤🌈 commentator] and make it comic art is 🔥
- I thought that was a good speech, myself. Seem to be alone in that.
- Reposted by LKHXHave a #painting. "Burren Tree" is from 6 years ago. I painted it because I love stones, let alone fields of stone. And I really like walls. You know where you stand with a wall. Sometimes the dry stone ones fall down a little, but if that gives you a better view of a tree, great. #art #SpeirGhorm
- I’ve read a few of his books, but Glasgow: Portrait of a City and Tiberius really stood out for me. And I remember how he championed the work of Andreï Makine in his book reviews. Indeed a giant.
- We've lost the great Allan Massie. An absolute giant of Scottish literature and journalism, and an inspirational, kind and generous man, too. I think his son @alexmassie.bsky.social is only sporadically on Bluesky, but he has written a beautiful obituary. alexmassie.substack.com/p/allan-mass...

- I'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files more to follow www.ft.com/content/c950...
- Today’s walk: canal
- I wish I’d found this before. I always leaned towards Club Ficheall!* www.querndust.co.uk/PDFs/226Ches... * or whatever the genitive is
- Reposted by LKHXNiche question, but for people who know France quite well, does anyone ever walk from Vezelay to Autun? As a sort of pilgrimage route, I mean. Or would that be nuts? Advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

- Four different supermarkets all out of turnip by 6pm. I’m not entirely sure if it got better or worse from then on
- Decided in passing to find this myself, & it’s very badly fissured… surely such an emblem of Scotland’s historic sovereignty should be given some more tlc?
- Trying to get from Glasgow to Dunfermline by public transport. Google is sending me to Inverkeithing or Edinburgh airport, Traveline suggests a 30min layover in Kincardine, & Trainline says it’s not possible 🤯 What has happened to the internet? 💩
- I made a deliberate sacrifice for (faint) positional advantage, and won 6 moves later, so I’m annoyed I got a ? when maybe I should definitely have got a ?! or even a !?. Not asking for a !!? here, it’s a small request! #chess
