Waiting for the day Scotland regains it's independence. Follow Scotland, Motherwell & Pollok and Glasgow Warriors, mostly from the couch.

@drmaddkap Don't they go on a bender?

Four months now since I joined Mastodon and I really can't say that I'm much closer to making sense of it all.
The Fediverse is definitely beyond my ken.

@thewritertype Fortunately it's not mine. Although in the words of Wellington "T'was a damn close run thing"😊

As a matter of interest, I always look forward to #CelticConnections and usually go to 4 or 5 gigs while the Festival is on. Being a Glaswegian obviously it's relatively easy for me to do so. How many are there out there who attend any of the Celtic Connection gigs?
During Covid I enjoyed having the option to see some of the gigs online but it didn't have the same buzz. Although I think the online option could be explored further and I'm surprised that it hasn't.

Happy New Year. Good health and happiness to one and all.
All the best for 2023.

Not long now, just a few hours, till we usher 2022 out the door. Personally speaking it's been a passable year but from a wider perspective there's not so much to be positive about.
I'd like to think that 2023 will see the back of Covid around the world and that Russia will take a step back from their aggressive position in Ukraine. I won't hold my breath though.
Closer to home some progress towards independence for Scotland will brighten things up immeasurably.
Oh well, here's hoping.

@uersugredu @auschwitzmuseum @histodons @museum

The matter of scale makes Auschwitz the equivalent of a blackhole for the Nazi regime but I visited Dachau in the Summer a few years ago.

Going through the gates was horrific as you might expect. But out in the main part of the camp, where trees that were planted when the camp was in full terror mode were now fully mature and in bloom, there was a peacefulness that was hard to appreciate given the awful circumstances of the camp's existence.

@sue We used to call ours Piggy Bottles but the style of the ones we had would be awkward on a table.

@Shirl The first post that I put up on Mastodon, nothing to do with Independence, I got a twat responding aggressively right away.
Block him.
If you need trolls there are plenty still around on Twitter. 😊
