First Light Photo

@trevormwilson We seem to have a "frog spawn day" of 18th March - same date for the last two years.

2 years ago we installed a small pond in our garden. A neighbour gave us a small jar of frogspawn, of which 20 made it to tadpole stage and a few to frog stage too. We haven't seen a single frog in the garden since then, but it seems some have now returned! #gardentwitter

It seems 18th March is our Spawn Day. Last year: twitter.com/firstlightwed/…

It's always a good day when I'm finally able to add our pond to the #spawnmap. @PondDip

@trevormwilson Don't believe a word they tell you in Menton(s)... (sorry)

@CateDvineWriter Oh, they look great! I've been growing them for a few years now, and am always astounded by the huge harvest from a very small space.

First lifting of Jerusalem artichokes from the plot. Recipe ideas welcome … #glasgowfood #allotmentgrown #local #tasty #scottish #soup

Cinematographers and other lighting wizards, help me out! I simply can't work out how this is lit. Where is the light placed which appears to come from the top window? I suspect it might be the light in front of the man's head, but it's the wrong shape, unless it's flagged?

I’m honoured to meet many wonderful people in my role at @The_RHASS Few have the depth of passion for rural matters as HRH The Princess Royal. What a privilege. @ScotlandRHShow

@JiSm @PeterAlanRoss Haven't heard that song since Spotify happened, making me less likely to listen to full albums. Thanks for the prompt to revisit!

@PeterAlanRoss My dad played a lot of Simon & Garfunkel when I was growing up (he once blagged his way backstage at an early Edinburgh gig, interviewed them and fell in love) but I don't think I'd ever heard A Simple Desultory Philippic until I looked it up just now. Quite a song!

#NowPlaying Obviously this is a great album, astonishing in its crisp beauty, but I also *love* the proto-Tigermilk cover.

@RoseberyVenues Jim, you'll will be sorely missed! Happy retirement!

After an almost 30-year career on the estate, we are saying a melancholy goodbye to Jim Chapman as he enters his retirement. Jim was involved with the launch and running of the venue since 2019 and has been an integral part of our team. Happy Retirement from all at Rosebery!

Can anyone recommend a good accounting software that isn't @QuickBooksUK ?

@QuickBooksUK A 35 minute "chat" conversation, slow, sloooow replies and zero helpful outcome. (could have been done in 5 minutes) I highlighted two (rather big) problems and was told there wasn't a solution to either. Off to look for other accounting software. Super frustrated& disappointed

@firstlightwed if you have our self-employed account you can send us a DM here and we can take a look at your issue here. 2/2 -Ashleigh

@QuickBooksUK Your chatbot is shockingly bad! I typed out a detailed message. No reply for 5-10 minutes, then the chatbot said "hello, how are you?", but didn't respond to my message. When I didn't reply immediately, "he" exited the chat. Any chance of a talk with a real person?

Hard to believe this is a retirement party!! Majestic from day to night and able to host a large group, Barnbougle is the perfect venue for hosting elegant corporate events 💎 ✨ 📸: @Firstlightphoto

@Tee36030728 Oh bless - I just love seeing them, nothing more exciting than lifting a pot and seeing a frog hiding under it! I think of them as my own little slug busters.

@firstlightwed Yes, I turn on the sprinklers for them. They love my garden, I see a few in my pots the next day as if they got drunk and forget to leave. I watch them from my glass Patio door, they visit nightly. I must admit I’m pretty afraid them😉🥰

@Tee36030728 It's fascinating, isn't it? I LOVE mine

@firstlightwed We have a few frogs and every year. 😛

Happy Friday! Here is a fascinating video for you

@JamesTCobbler I'd be very interested in a utility repair service in your shops! Blenders, mixers, lamps. The shop I used to use has closed down, and I can't find any places offering this anywhere near our town.

Do you reckon there is much demand for Game Console repairs to be done in our shops?
