Terrible first experience going through @EDI_Airport with my family (2adults, 3yr old & 5 month old). Families were treated with respect and welcomed in Greece, made to wait longer than anyone else here. What’s wrong with a family lane? No crying babies adding to the frustration
Sergio Mendes on @laurenlaverne @BBC6Music could not feel more appropriate this morning with this little Brazil fan.
Hey @edinhelp - what’s the deal with the car park at the @bestwestern on Milton Road. Knocked a wall down to give extra car park entrance but no road markings, no kerb, and 100m from the RNIB. Kids and blind people on pavement with moving vehicles. Is this kosher?
Excited to share this great opportunity to work with us!!!

Loved my training with @GigBuddiesThera this morning & can’t wait to get started, helping make music & the arts more accessible to people w/ learning disabilities. Now off to @TheBarrowlands to enjoy @sawdoctors with half of #shetland. V musical Saturday
Listening to @laurenlaverne on @BBC6Music this morning while eating our toast and my 2 year old Sid Sid suddenly stands up in his seat and pronounces “This is jaaaaaam hot!” Loving the positive influence on him from good music
Dear @AmazonUK our stairwell is not your depot. Please stop storing your bags here. The residents own the stairwell but don’t store things as it’s a fire risk. What makes it ok for you to?

“Ee-aye-ee-aye-oh”. Thanks @MusicBroth for providing this little guy with so much pleasure and filling our house with music. What an amazing gift #sharing is.
So happy about this after so much work. Looking forward to seeing share and repair blossom across Scotland.
Big news for sharing and repairing in #scotland . We are delighted to see support for a network to start up many more sharing libraries and repair cafes across the country. ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉
Infuriating to see @BorisJohnson in a hospital without a mask on, knowing I can’t visit my Mum in a neighbouring hospital because of “strict protocols to protect patients from Covid” (only 1 named visitor - my bro who lives nearer).
Love getting out the office to get dusty every now and again. Aren’t our #volunteers who built this #littlefreelibrary amazing?! 💪🛠
New #littlefreelibrary at the #leith #bananaflats #communitygarden in partnership with @inspiringleith & featuring a bananahandle ™️.

W/ #COP26 on the horizon it's important to celebrate & amplify other voices in #Edinburgh, we are proud to stand alongside @EdinRemakery @lesswastelaura & @shrubcoop as orgs supporting local people to reduce their environmental footprint. #letsdonetzero @netzeroscotland
Walking round Holyrood yesterday watching 4 petrol tools making a racket and stinking the place up, and thinking about @edintoollibrary trying to scrape together ££ for abattery mower. Leadership doesn’t always come from the top @MarinaHyde theguardian.com/commentisfre…
