WTAF? Not particularly great images but I wasn’t getting any closer, especially with Dearg the Lab in tow! 😱. I was happy it stayed on that root, the last thing I wanted was an airial attack! 🐓 Its body was c30mm in length with an angry looking 4-5mm “stinger” on its tail. Can anyone identify it
Oh, the banter! Sadly I can’t attribute ownership but well done to whoever you are! 👏👏👏👏
Brilliant trip with @scottishgeologist.bsky.social at the Highland Boundary Fault this evening. Very informative & entertaining, yon lassie disnae half love rocks! Well worth joining one of Luisa’s trips if you have any interest in Geology. Luisa brings her special, portable classroom to each trip!
Maybe FIFA could also get the unredacted Epstein files released! 🤔
Ardbeg (our 1yo Cocker) applied squealy blue-murder tactic on a GS we met on an early “big boy” walk. The GS’s owner was horrified, calling her dog back until I explained this was a tried & trusted scam to steal toys off our other dogs! Sorry about your panic attack, folks can be needlessly cruel.
25°C in the shade yet the boys decide to lie in full sunshine- despite a good percentage of the garden being in shade! 🤷♂️ FYI The blankets are out drying as they are wet from the dogs having been in the Dee.
Whose job is it in the Portugal team to tell Renaldo that Messi scored another 2 goals?
Wow, A very good read but what an indictment of “the most powerful man in the world” - but definitely not the smartest! Seems his talent is limited to bullying GoP politicians into turning a blind eye to Trump raking in $Bns of US Taxpayer money to benefit him, his family and his favoured cronies!
Contrast PQ’s effort with the image posted by BBCNI. It’s yet another example of BBC Scotland promoting a negative image of Scotland. We see you and we’re calling you out.
Lost our old boy, Craggan (15 1/2), just over a year ago. I still miss the thump of his tail on his favourite beanbag as I walk into our lounge. It is tough, but it does get easier and we do smile more when we think of his antics now. You won’t move on, but you will move up!
This is what happens when companies pay to get politicians elected. Their interests become more important than your interests. Reform’s drive for de-regulation is not for our benefit. But, hey Nigel can’t be bought. Allegedly
Beautiful words I that read with teary eyes. We had to take our Labs Tasker (8, cancer) and Craggan, (15 1/) on their final journeys to the vets. Your words resonate so much, if you’ve felt the love and devotion of a dog you know how much his passing hurts. Run free Blaze, condolences Steve.
Picked this (deid!) fekker off the wee man today (maybe it was something to do with him finding a deer carcass at Collonach?). Just a wee reminder to keep on top of the Tick treatment, check your dogs after walking in the woods/hills and NOT to wear shorts to stay Tick free!
Went to see this excellent dramatisation of the Kenmure St protest. Well worth catching if it’s being performed in your area.
Thought last week’s #Taskmaster Ep6 was slightly disappointing (by Taskmaster standards) but #littlealexhorne redeemed himself tonight with a cracking ep7! 👏👏👏
NW Europe from Artemis II, the pinpoints of lights between Scotland & Norway are the oil production platforms in the North Sea Never worked out why the @itnproductions.bsky.social News at Ten opening sequence excludes them, especially when you consider the significance of their economic contribution
In that light it was a good result but I’m disappointed that c47% of my fellow Scots didn’t vote. Some may have a good reason, most won’t! I’m hearing c500K Scot’s still voted SNP2, thus handing seats to pro-Indy parties! I’m 😡 at my Westhill/Inverurie pals for sticking with the Tories again!
These pictures of Phroaig competing in Carlisle 3 years ago came up in “memories”. Sadly I can’t claim credit for the work, the pictures were taken and annotated by Photographer Ian Watts from NW England.
Can anyone watch this @channel4news.bsky.social report on the funeral of Mahdi Abuzaid, the latest of >90 Lebanese First Responders, without feeling despair & anger at the conduct of the IDF? They deliberately target ambulances, a war crime, with impunity.🤬 One day the bell will toll for Netanyahu!
Brilliant from @markradcliffe.bsky.social on RadMac this morning “Working Cocker, that’s a misnomer”, he then alleges they never do jobs around the house! Phroaig (despite his recumbent pose) strongly disagrees claiming he is adept at cleaning plates & the dishwasher contents (given access)!
Dearg having an Easter dook in the Burn of Sheeoch, Fetteresso Forest. The weather looks better than it was, still a biting wind (remnant of #StormDave) so it was chilly when you were out of the sun. No rain though, so a fine day for a brisk dog walk! #Labrador
