Exactly. Also why we need to support public libraries to give access to all.

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries: “It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones. “There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion. “If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice! “Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”

Some sunrises are just extra special. Today Port of Ness, Isle of Lewis. No filter.

This is my 23rd post for National Care Leavers Month. Each day I post something from my archive relative to the subject. But today is different. Can you help me find someone. Please. In 1972 a Scottish couple fostered a baby and saved her. She is now looking for the couple to thank them. It means a lot to her. The birth mother recalls meeting them at The Red Cross Office in Edinburgh in 1972. She does not have any details about the foster mother BUT recalls that the foster father was a surgeon (possibly a neurosurgeon) AND that couple had a brown skinned adopted son, which would have been unusual at the time. Please help me find them on behalf of my friend. Please share this post. Especially if you are in Scotland. Image by Geralt

This week’s blog explores some practical ideas to address the immense challenges facing #carehome and #homecare provision in the Highlands of #Scotland. It explores ideas such as a #HighlandWeighting & other international ideas. #socialcare #workforce scottishcare.org/beyond-the-edg…

Flash has been constantly overlooked through no fault of his own for 3+ years now 😔 We threw a special day for potential adopters to meet him & see how wonderful he is. After lots of planning and getting Flash spruced, ready & excited to greet his guests, no one turned up 💔

@maithilireads Scarlet O’Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realised it when caught by her charm……….

@charliersmith1 Hamish says hello ❤️

This feels very hard to write, but earlier I tried to end my life. I’m currently in hospital, awaiting assessment, not sure what the future holds. If anyone has any pet pics (or other cute pics), I’d really appreciate the distraction ❤️

Endometriosis. This story @STVNews is tragic and should never have happened to this lovely young woman Nicola. My heart goes out to her mother and family 🙏❤️ The measure of a government is how it supports us women in health and the economy. I launched #TALKEndo 💭@ENDO1000project @exppect @EdinburghUni October 2024. I have repeatedly written to both governments and met @_KateForbes on this issue last August . My plea AGAIN to the Scottish Government @scotgov is you need to step up and support our women with regard to more budget being allocated to research and healthcare measure’s into Endometriosis. No woman should be in such pain our trauma that her life ends in this way. 👇

Our incredible daughter Liz died in the early hours of this morning. She remained determined to the last. Even yesterday she was still making plans. We are so very proud of the kindness, empathy and courage she has shown in the last year. She was not only a phenomenal photographer, she was the best human, and the most wonderful daughter and big sister we could ever have asked for. No one could have fought harder for life than she did. There is a gaping Liz shaped hole in our lives that I am not sure how we will ever fill. We have so much gratitude to every single one of you, whether you offered to help, or liked or shared posts - you ensured Liz’s last two months were her very best. She flew high until the end. We have two last favours to ask. Firstly, we would like to ask you to share one of her photos - on your social media, or in real life, however you can. Let’s let her go out with a bang. #LizHatton (photos will follow in a thread but do also feel free to choose your own from @lizhatton_photography on Instagram) Secondly, if you can we would like you to help us with a mission to raise money to fund research into Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour. With no charity in the UK or internationally funding into effective treatments are lacking. In 2024 a 15% 5 year survival rate is simply not enough. Together we can change that. Whether you can share, donate or raise funds - please be our village one more time. Let’s make this the last item on her bucket list and make sure other families don’t face a similar fate: justgiving.com/crowdfunding/v…

@PaulaMc007 I think Lily Bollinger has you covered 🥂
