Shaka, when the walls fell.

I can make balloon animals. (Provided it's some variation on the horse/dog/mouse pattern)

Quote this with something you can do that is funny or impressive, but absolutely useless. I do a really good imitation of a pigeon.

@lauralexx.bsky.social is on at the Lemon Tree tonight and I'm gutted that I'm going to miss the show (because Reasons). I caught a preview at the Fringe and loved it.

I caught @pierrenovellie.bsky.social's afternoon show. Which was brilliant but there was a point where he asked what a vitamin is...and I desperately wanted to put my hand up and explain not only what they are but also the etymology of the word.

So I've just raced from Waverley station to get to a show with 5 minutes to spare. Only to find that I'm three days early. So I've an hour spare. Going to charge up my phone and try to find some coffee instead.

Anyway I saw Felicity Ward and Rachel Fairburn yesterday who were both excellent.

For what can only be described as reasons I'm wearing two watches. One of which turns out is broken (but crucially not stopped). So we we now have situation where one watch tells the always truth and the other lies. For some reason this feels very on brand for me.

Last day at the #Edfringe at least for the time being. I bought a bunch of tickets in advance so hopefully today may be a little less chaotic. It's been a few years since my last Fringe but it seems less busy this year. But the prices seem to have hiked up.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette. I bought it before I owned a CD player...because of the secret tack. My sister pinched it from me (I've since replaced it)

44 years ago today, the first CD was produced. What is the first CD you owned?

So, I saw this and wondered if @oldenoughtosay.com would be interested. There's no haunted masks, dolls or dungeon...that I can see. But there's a definite choice been made with the on suite. (I am kinda drawn to the bookcase space though)

OK, I want to have a bit of a rant... But it's work related so here's some pictures of my lilies instead.

Well that's another trip around the sun completed. I'm a little thicker around the middle, a little greyer on top and a little more frayed around the edges. And so far no-one's realised I'm actually just four well intentioned Pine Martens in a big coat.

Unscientifically (I stuck in a ruler) the snow in Aberdeen City is around 10 inches (25cm) deep.

I’d like to wish everyone a Happy Hogmanay and a peaceful and prosperous New Year. The last few years have been, euphemistically, challenging to say the least. But a New Year is an opportunity for healing and renewal.

Wishing everyone the merriest of Christmases.

I'm struggling a bit with #TheWarBetweenTheLandandtheSea. Russell Tovey is brilliant at playing a slightly bewildered everyman. But some of the dialogue has been quite clunky and the 'Homo Aqua' thing just upsets me. It's like nails on a blackboard every time I hear it.

We have Waxwings visiting Aberdeen again this year. I was lucky enough to catch them when the light was good and managed to take a few shots that I'm really pleased by. #nature #wildlife #bird #waxwing #ShareMondays2025 #fsprintmonday

I'd managed to get some shots of the Waxwings in Aberdeen yesterday. However the light wasn't great and I thought I could do better. I was up and out early enough to catch them in the morning light and I'm much happier with the results.

This came up on my FB memories this morning. To be honest I'm cringing, slightly, at the tautology of 'earlier' with 'forerunner' but I do really like a classic phone box. And you almost never see a K2 outside London.

Hey there, how's it going? A while back (June maybe?) I started a short course at a local University. And what with one thing and another (mostly work) I fell behind. So I spent a week in August, that I should have been at the #EdFringe, finishing the course and getting in my final report.

'Cry Hoppit! And let slip the frogs of war'. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Where was that a fortnight ago? #SCOvWAL

Genuinely gutted! I really thought Scotland were the better team. However I'm in Malone's, I have a pint of Murphy's and there's an Irish band playing James covers.

We've got the right where they want us! #SCOvIRL

I've upgraded my gear and took my new lens out for to see if I could spot some Short Eared Owls. (I didn't) However I did have a chance encounter with a fox who'd popped their head up to see what I was doing while they were stretching in afternoon sun #ShareMondays2025 #FSprintmonday #FoxOfTheDay

I read somewhere that Moffat tends to give The Doctor's Companions definitive endings because he wants a reason why The Doctor never visits them once they've left. But what if The Doctor just has really poor Object Permanence?

I’d like to wish everyone a Happy Hogmanay and a peaceful and prosperous New Year. The last few years have been relentless and the New Year promises to be challenging. But a New Year is an opportunity for healing and renewal.
