Reminder of what wartime leaders wear when visiting the White House

Continuing my Quinn and team journey from the beginning, finished listening to the fantastic Night Man by @brettbattles.bsky.social. Always a joy to hear your own name playing a part in the story 😁

I've always had dogs in my life, but last year Rhona (my wife) convinced me to get a cat. I was anxious that the dogs wouldn't like having a cat around or get on. This is Nala (lab) and Balu. I think it's fair to say my concerns were unfounded. This was the two of them snoring away in my office.

Continuing with my rediscovering the Jonathan Quinn series by @brettbattles.bsky.social and I've just finished The Discarded. A fantastic story in the series, loved reading it again

If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it might be that you haven't yet made the most of its design. It's different from Twitter in some key ways so you have to interact differently. I'm writing these tips below from my non-techy perspective, techies please weigh in if I get things wrong:

Last month I finally switched to an electric car. Over the last two weeks I’ve been touring around the Scottish region of Argyle and Bute with no issues. Probably still a little obsessed with keeping charge level high, but apart from that it was great.

Great time at Ganavan sands by Oban today with my chocolate girls Macy and Nala #labrador #oban

Next stop Mull to visit Castle Duart, home of the Clan McLean.

I’ve got a dodgy connection here at Loch Awe. So I’ll setup my profile later and go read a book for now. Thanks for the invite @davidhewson.bsky.social , glad to make it here.
