I’m getting fitter and doing the kilt walk. Full story in the picture, but if you can spare a few quid, please do so. All money will be used to support the Public Access Defibrillators in Beith.

Today was officially the launch of the 2024 pizza season.
Even if I say so myself the dough was perfection, lovely crust, everything you’d want.
Pizza sauce was as good as ever, Mutti tomatoes, sliced garlic, oregano and left all day to mingle.
Bar is high for the upcoming months

There will be a press conference later this morning but right now Patrick is boxing up his limited edition Dalek figurines, Lorna is composing angry break-up poetry in a Tim Hortons, and Humza is trying to decide who gets custody of Ross Greer.
So it happened we’d booked a weekend in Coniston on the weekend that #bluebirdK7 was coming home.
Not only that our cottage looked out on the centre of the village so we’d a prime view. #coniston #donaldcampbell

May 1961 JFK said in congress by the end of the decade we will put a man on the moon. July 1969 Neil Armstrong was the 1st man to walk on the moon.
In 2015 FM N. Sturgeon announced in parliament Scotland would put two new ferries in the water by the end of 2018 and 2019.
November 2023 and we are still waiting.
In conclusion man went to the moon and back within 8 years but Scotland can’t get two new ferries built in 8 years 🙄

In North Ayrshire an ecclesiastical ding dong's brewing.
The clock bell at Beith Parish Church has chimed every hour, day and night, for 200 years.
But it's been temporarily silenced after a complaint about the noise.

Aye, I don’t recall him saying this after the last old firm game.
VAR seemed perfectly good then

Quite Right.
As the Kohima Epitaph says “For Your Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today.”
The act of remembering the ultimate sacrifice of millions should not be disrespected or desecrated. – at Beith, Scotland
My statement on the disrespectful protests planned for Armistice Day.
ALT To plan protests on Armistice Day is provocative and disrespectful, and there is a clear and present risk that the Cenotaph and other war memorials could be desecrated, something that would be an affront to the British public and the values we stand for. The right to remember, in peace and dignity, those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for those freedoms must be protected. I have asked the Home Secretary to support the Met Police in doing everything necessary to protect the sanctity of Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.

Today, on the solemn anniversary of the passing of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, our thoughts are with His Majesty King Charles III and the whole Royal Family.
With the perspective of a year, the scale of Her Late Majesty's service only seems greater. Her devotion to the nations of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth only seems deeper. And our gratitude for such an extraordinary life of duty and dedication, only continues to grow.
I treasure my memories of those occasions when I met Her Late Majesty, in particular the private audience I had with her at Buckingham Palace before presenting my first Budget as Chancellor. I was struck by her wisdom, by her incredible warmth and grace, but also her sharp wit.
People across the UK – whether they had the good fortune to meet Her Late Majesty or not – will be reflecting today on what she meant to them and the example she set for us all. We will cherish those memories.
The bond between country and monarch is sacred. It endures. So, while we continue to mourn Her Late Majesty’s passing, we should be proud that this remarkable legacy of service – and this remarkable bond – continues to grow today under the reign of His Majesty The King.

Well two days driving, stop over for shopping and a break for @bentley_waite who’s not a fan of the car, but we’ve arrived.
What a better way to start than with some seafood.
Plus that view, almost from the door step of home for the week!
