Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

But we hae meat and we can eat,

Haggis, neeps and tatties already sending lovely aromas around the flat. It'll be washed down with a nice Aldi claret. The dram can wait until just before bedtime.

This old wooden sign, on the Gordon Street side of Central Station, has always concerned me.
Where are all the wee, shy and retiring vehicles meant to gather?

A rather wonderful Corbelled Tourelle (a small circular turret with a conical roof) on the corner of an 1870s/1880s Victorian Townhouse in the West End of Glasgow.

Luma Tower in the Shieldhall area of Glasgow. Designed by Cornelius Armour in a Steamline Moderne style and built in 1938, it's one of the best preserved Art Deco buildings in the city.

Good morning, Glasgow. It's a clear, but chilly start to the day, but the rather spectacular sunrise made getting up and about early well worth the effort.

Most young people are worried, as they should be, about the impact that AI will have on their lives and their ability to earn a decent living.
Our job is not complicated. We must make certain that AI and robotics improve life for all, and not just make billionaires even richer.
