I will never forget how Chris chatted with me about my knitting every time I brought it to the office during Covid times when it was just me and him at the opposite ends of the floor. I hope Isaac's socks still fit him 🩵 A kind man and fantastic colleague who will be missed.

I don't understand how anyone can keep up with a Zoom meeting without knitting/sewing/crocheting 🤷🏼♀️ We'd knit during classes in high school, some teachers didn't like it, but when our history teacher told them the knitters get the best grades they let us continue 🧶

Stitch-up? Or Sew What? Is Councillor Christina Roberts of @DundeeSNP right to be sewing a bobble on to a hat during a @DundeeCouncil meeting or should her attentions have been undivided? thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/dundee…

After 3 years at The List as Social Media and Content Editor, I've made the exciting/terrifying decision to go full-time freelance from the end of January. I'll be open to any and all writing, editing and social media opps. DMs are open for advice/leads/general good vibes ✨

My heart goes out to everyone who wouldn't be able to get their partner or spouse to the UK. I had to spend 11 months apart from my partner because of the pandemic and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. This cruel policy will lead to fewer skilled young people settling in the UK.

And as others have pointed out, there are already shortages in many fields. Hospitality is struggling for staff as is, so are schools and the NHS. This definitely won't make the current situation any better.

Depressing and cruel just about sums it up. I'm lucky to be part of the EU settlement scheme, but I have friends who aren't. I can't imagine being told I can't live with my partner or work in the UK because jobs I'm qualified for won't pay that much.

I’ve decided to try to learn to relax (lol) over an extended period and then write about how I get on. Please tell me your favourite ways to chill out (even if you consider them very unusual and/or niche) and I will try them all 🙏

Lærte fort at å si "æ e klar" til lugaren etter en lang dag på rekruttskolen ikke funket som jeg tenkte (på bokmål: "jeg er sliten")

Could Orkney leave Scotland and become a self-governing territory of Norway? 🏴🇳🇴
That's just one of the possibilities the council is looking to discuss next week, saying the islands have been failed by the Scottish Government. @TheScotsman 👇

There’s a reason I’ll never be a food journalist or influencer and that reason is that I take all pictures like this.
