Got the cold / virus. Slumped in armchair. I watched 'A Scottish Cristmas secret', with Caprice, so you don't have to. Seriously, you dont have to.
A blonde woman wearing a green dress. And a dark haired man wearing a grey plaid shirt and red t shirt stand in front of snow capped mountains and a wierd non scottish castle with turrets and flags.

Found this amusing trio on the East Beach in Berneray. I think the artist was telling a story but who knows what, so I made one up. #FindsFriday #pottery
Small triangular fragment of pottery. Part of a boat in the backgound, on the sea with a possible tower on a small island behind. On land in foreground are a trio. Center is a gentleman in tails and tall hat. To his right a kneeling woman beseeching, although her arm is growing out of her pelvis. To his left a matron in a cap, arms folded, looking furious. 'Look, ye numpty Frankenstein, I'll gie ye DOCTOR. Ye said you could gie her a new arm. Look whit ye've made!'

You just died, the 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.
I'm thinking i fell down the steps in the rain.

Ha! My very fashionable mother stuck her stiletto in the track. Tram coming, she couldn't get it out so abandoned it. Driver screeched to a halt, wrenched her shoe out and flung it at her with quite a lot of rage!

Short wheelbase Landie?
Quilted gilet?
Cords?
Brogues?
Army jumper?
Lads, it's House of Bruar!
Two young men in country attire walking to the house of Bruar; a large white emporium of Scottish tat and disappointing snacks. It also has a disturbingly homoerotic catalogue.

Just watched @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstine in the cinema. My father was a poet. His favourite poem in English was Ozymandius. I cried at the reading. Many years ago I bought this original print. Bankrupted myself. @agrayarchive.bsky.social
Print of Ozymandias by Alastair Grey. I met a traveller from an antique land...

I've run away, quick, let me in!
A small ram trying to get in my house last week. He has his nose to the patio door and is standing next to two fishing floats.

The one constant was a gorgeous large print of 'Racing Wings' by Montague Dawson. It had a beautiful wooden frame lacquered in cream with a red coach stripe round it.
Three white sailed yachts racing in the ocean with green land or islands behind them. The sky is blue with white fluffy clouds.

Not a standing stone, but a commemorative stone marking the opening of the Berneray Causeway in 1999 by (then) HRH Prince Charles. Pic mine, Friday. #StandingStoneSunday
A beige standing stone, about 3 meters high in a green field with a road and single lamp post behind

Feel better, here's a cheer up picture of our neighbour's escaped ram!
A cute ram of small stature trying to get through a window. Possibly for a cuppa!
