Well, this was our eclipse, or it may have been just after that shower at 8pm Tuesday last week.

Having just fed the cats, I've a feeling that after the solar eclipse they'll claim it's tomorrow morning and want to be fed again...

On a walk near Lochearnhead and I saw this old garage now a bit of a romantic ruin. Spent the rest of the day wondering about all the stories that site could tell.
Did the tories recruit Chris Philp from the lonely section of the local boozer or something?
Turns out it happened on July 23rd. Give him a boost and let's do something nice
randulo@randulo.bsky.social · 3d agoIf you know an Irishman who visited France for two weeks in July and who saved my life at the Piscine du Grand Parc, get us in touch. He'll remember as much as I do. They visited all the swimming pools in Bordeaux. Please boost and see if anyone is on Bluesky who can help. #Irish #Ireland
Disgraceful of Kent County Council to pack up and leave during the singing of the national anthem. Why does Kent and Reform hate Great Britain?
TheBossRoss 🧶@thebossross.bsky.social · 4d agoReform-led Kent County Council's amended its constitution. Every full meeting has to end with the national anthem. Nobody specified how much of it councillors actually had to sing. The Greens noticed. So when the first meeting closed, they sang all 6 verses. While Reform was already packing up. 😂
The Pittenweem Arts festival is a lovely week long event on the East Neuk of Fife. The Festival is on until the 8th August and hats off to whoever put together this travel advice to the town - active travel at the top.
Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
Taken gt neice to the www.ntscotland playback today. Took the bike we got for her along but she's outgrowing it!!! Asked a staff member if they had an Allen key I could borrow and they pointed me to the wonderful toolstation they have!
Free tomorrow? "I’m riding a one-of-a-kind three-person tandem from Land’s End to John o’ Groats for Mind. Rather than having a fixed team, I’m inviting different people to fill the spare seats along the way, share part of the journey and have an honest conversation about life & mental health."...

I’m running 200km over 7 days to demand safer roads. On average, 30 people are killed every week on UK roads — deaths that are preventable. I’m raising funds for the charity Brake, who support bereaved families & crash victims. Please donate if you can. Thank you! www.justgiving.com/page/andy-co...

Saw this work in Gothenburg Art Museum. It's really struck me and some folk in England would benefit from taking this message on board
Burnham wants “a return of the Labour they once knew?” Which Labour is that? We know he doesn’t mean Blair’s. So is it Wilson’s or Callaghan’s? Kinnock’s or Miliband’s? The one voters got rid of at the first opportunity or the one they knew not to elect in the first place www.ft.com/content/d692...
The return of the political professional
After years of duds and dilettantes, true operators have returned to Downing Street — but that won’t guarantee success

Great to see this, and thank you for sharing. Important journalism
The Irish Voice@theirishvoice.bsky.social · 3w agoWe normally don't share our front page quite so early—as we've only gone to press today—but the subject matter is very important. Read all about how the Irish community has come together to take a strong stance against racism in both Ireland and Scotland. @neilmackay.bsky.social

I fear Farage will win again with all the nutters splitting the Muppet vote, hopefully I'm wrong
BrokenBanker@brokenbanker.bsky.social · 4w agothe Clacton by-election has turned into the Muppet Show with Farage as the only 'human'. a fitting outcome:
Farage is one step away from claiming Reform need their own armed paramilitary organisation to protect party officials. No doubt £5m can buy a lot of brown shirts and ties.
The way this whole story is playing out is deeply concerning And impossible to ignore that this time last week Farage, and Reform’s, funding was the only story in town Now Reform and its leader is playing the tune everyone else is dancing to www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
Farage refused taxpayer-funded security because it was ‘inadequate’
Reform UK decided to continue providing its own protection for Nigel Farage, rather than ‘gamble with his life’, a spokesperson said
