Calm at Ulva Ferry this morning

This is one major storm. I’ve not seen anything like it in my career. Please please keep up to date with the @metofficeScot @metoffice warnings there are numerous out right now including an Amber high wind. #StormEowyn

@MhairiHunter Its a story!

Started watching The Island last night cos everyone said it's great. I beg to differ. When she was asked by her superior officer at the beginning of the first episode if she had a conflict she should have said yes. She couldn't be more clearly conflicted. Ruined the show for me.

If Irn Bru is Scotland’s other national drink then @GritOrchestra is Scotland’s other national orchestra! Magical and moving with the best of Scotland’s musical talent and traditions performing the brilliance of Martyn Bennett’s GRIT tonight @cuillinmusic

Would be astonishing for Labour not to vote for winter fuel payments & funding for the system to scrap the 2 child cap in 2026, sitting on the fence on these vital supports will not land well with the public or I suspect many Labour members or their MSPs #budget #GMS

@geologymull @sweenyness Pige Ruadh?!

And quite a bizarre article. I’m not quite sure what the point is? I’ve had a peat fire on today, alongside my air source heat pump & 1.29 kWh generated from solar panels. I’ll spend around £250 this month on electricity alone. Peat fire stays.

@sweenyness Nice one!

I took just over an hour but I did it. I am so tired 😂

Today I am going to try and complete my first ever 10k, at the North Lewis 10km. It’s currently 40mph northerly, which will be in my face for the second half of it. I had a target but I now think I just want to get through it.

@wodieskodie Surely the afternoon was just as exciting (after the tetanus jag obvs)?

Few days will ever be worse than the one where I ran out of petrol and had to be towed, narrowly saved my kitten from drowning in the toilet, slipped on a dead mole, and got bitten in the arse by my own dog in front of the neighbours. All before 2pm.

Thats me completed my @scaa_charity 100 miles in October. Always did leave things to the last minute. Please consider contributing to this super worthy fundraiser - so many reasons on these islands to be grateful for the critical support they provide! tinyurl.com/26jpwaks

@pnlogit @Glasgow_2026 @thecgf Would have been great to see road cycling included.

The 10 Commonwealth sports that will compete across Glasgow in 2026 🤩 Which sport are you most looking forward to? #Glasgow2026

Useful word…

@wildswim Its frustrating - but, in my view, giving up can never be the answer to the big challenges we face.

Remember to bring ID - Passport, Driver’s Licence etc. to be able to vote. If you forget you can bring it later to vote - by 10pm.

@wildswim Nothing at all is achieved by not voting. It is a frustrating time in politics for sure but surely it is better to vote for the party that most embodies your principles, even if progress towards bigger objectives is slower than any of us would like?
