@on_lothianbuses There is an issue with @googlemaps - the 11/18 seem to have vanished, at least when trying from Kaimes junction! I'll stick with your app, but have reported it.

went to the Batman 2 set in Glasgow and one of the security people said that they have to search the set for Irn Bru cans every night because the locals are trying to sneak one into the film and they keep popping up in the bins and hot dog stands lmao

Self-care isn't a luxury, and it isn't an indulgence. It is the quiet ecology of caring for ourselves, so that we can continue caring for the people, places, and communities we love.
Some days self-care is climbing a mountain. Other days it's accepting that today the mountain came to you.

"Roses" (Danish: Roser) is a 1893 painting by P. S. Krøyer. The rose is a historic rose variety known as 'Alba Maxima' (also called the Great White Rose). It is a highly fragrant, long-lived, and robust Old Rose variety that still grows across Scandinavia. Takes me back to Skagen
One of my favourite childhood memories was watching Panorama, World in Action, and The Cook Report with my dad. Sad to hear of Roger Cook’s passing. Thanks for the memories.
