⚠️ There is a recall for a batch of Graham’s Family Dairy Semi-Skimmed milk (green cap) with the use by date of 31/07/2026 and covers the 1 pint, 1 litre and 2 litre jugs. There is a concern that the milk could have trace amounts of antibiotics. Return to retailer for a refund.
Abortion should be free, accessible and available to all who wish to have one.
Creature of comfort is our Bailey. Pulled the cushion down so that she could rest her head and have a snooze 🐕 💤

⚠️ Police Scotland appeal after “Squeagle,” a translocated golden eagle, was found with 17 shotgun pellets lodged in her body and wings. Injuries likely occurred across northern England/Scotland. She survived and was released. Info: ref incident 1361 (5 June 2026).
Always catches you off guard when you see how old they are getting.
This arrogance on display for all to see. We have eyes, we can see what is happening and this genocide is being documented like none before yet we still sit back and watch and Starmer still sells Israel weapons and makes excuses.
Those who engage in mental gymnastics to justify their hate of asylum seekers and immigrants while claiming to be Christian. Pick up the Bible once in a while.
Was happy to get my @plaidcymru.bsky.social membership card today! 🏴 🩵 🏴
Following yesterday’s shameless violence and disorder in Glasgow I have written to Neil Gray MSP The CabSec for Justice.
What a charming person. Always thinking about people’s sexual organs is just plain strange.
Some people are in such utter darkness that they will burn you just to see a light. Try not to take it personally. Kamand Kojouri
Was happy to join the leaders of a coalition of 43 civil society organisations, including the Human Rights Consortium Scotland, in writing to 🏴 First Minister John Swinney, calling for urgent action to strengthen human rights protections across Scotland.
I see the Tories are still as despicably opportunistic as ever. PIP is not means tested and has no bearing on if someone can or does work. So the “So those that can work, do work” is meaningless claptrap designed simply to perpetuate attacks on disabled people and those who are chronically ill.
Another massive pothole and yet another burst tyre. Fucking sick of the roads of Glasgow being an obstacle course. Some of these potholes have potholes. Would test the patience of a Saint.
Bonnie’s been my shadow today and she’s well and truly had enough of my shit! Ps. She has a haircut next week.
I just voted Both Votes @snp.org to put 🏴 Scotland first #Holyrood2026 #BothVotesSNP

Bailey’s leg is healing well. Hopefully the plate and screws are doing their job and the bones will knit. She’s healing amazingly considering she’s 16. She’s still on painkillers so she’s having some deeeep sleeps!
Bailey is home now and is recovering. Bonnie is looking after her. She’s had a plate and screws to repair her break 🐾

Bailey was at park earlier w/ my sister and she tried to jump up onto a bench and broke her leg. Complicated with it being two breaks in her right front leg and that she’s 16. Surgery on Monday! She’s home with a stookie and lots of pain killers.

Thanks to my sister’s handiwork, I have the wallpaper I’ve always wanted in the bedroom. Yes it is loud but it’s only on one wall. Bought the sun mirror about 14 years ago and it’s still looking great.

Heartbroken this morning to hear of Jeane Freeman’s passing. Few live so fully in the service of others as she did and her compassion, courage and resolve touched countless lives. Holding Susan, Jeane’s family and all privileged to have shared her friendship in my thoughts ♥️
