⚠️ Today, Standards Commission hearing (Councillors Neil Ross & Marie-Clair Munro) found both had breached the Councillor code of conduct for failing to declare they lived by the Braid Estate when dealing w/ Greenbank to Meadows Quiet Route, including their votes to remove effective traffic filtering
A dusting of snow is no hassle with the Schwalbe Marathon Winter Plus tyres - and the school run is even more fun! #snow #TernGSD #edinburgh
This is manslaughter with another name.. Hard not to feel like a cyclist's life is worth less www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Nice work! Also - Impressed your break pads lasted so long.. I would have gone through four sets in that distance 😀
Funny that they've never bothered to voice any concern about the dangers of climate change.
The latest sandwich packaging for the kids school packed lunches. "easypeel" for simple separation of the film so you can recycle with soft plastics. I have a degree in engineering and it's anything but easy.. Seems impossible to get it all off cleanly. Any thoughts @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social ?
In the most recent podcast update Sorkin said the main reason he couldn't write the show today is that the idea of the Republicans being bipartisan for the good of the country is ludicrous.. 😔
But she has legs that go all the way down to the floor..! If you haven't already then get started on the West Wing Weekly podcast for excellent commentary on every episode 😀.
All the 1s km.. 6904 miles on the clock. #TernGSD
This is one of my favourite filters in the whole city! 😁
Cartoon for St George's day by Stephen Collins for the guardian. Script as follows: Scene is outside a cave, ST GEORGE in armour etc is confronting the DRAGON while the CAPTURED PRINCESS looks on. DRAGON: So let me get this straight. DRAGON: You’re hoping to reinforce ‘helpless princess’ tropes… DRAGON: By publicly stabbing an *endangered animal* to death with a *sword*… DRAGON: So you can force a whole Syrian village to convert to Christianity…. DRAGON: And become a nationalist icon for a colonial state… DRAGON: Through the cultural appropriation of ancient medieval dragon myths. DRAGON: You’ve not been *online* very long, have you? GEORGE: I have been quite surprised by the comments. GEORGE’S SOCIAL MEDIA ASSISTANT [who is filming this encounter on an iPhone]: I told you it’s problematic, George. DRAGON: Problematic? It’s a *bin fire*! DRAGON: OK. Here’s how you turn this round - CUT TO a YoutTube post called ‘MY JOURNEY (An apology)’. GEORGE is crying to camera, Dragon in background. GEORGE: I am *so sorry* guys…
Happy St George' Day!
Lego Jazz Club 10312. Did not disappoint.. It would be hard for Lego to design a set more attractive to me 😁🍸🎺🎶🎷🎹🍕
Today's date, March 23rd, appears to be a very Olympic date to be born on!
McNeese! Absolutely did not pick that. What a finish.. #MarchMadness
Just another wanker in a massive BMW blocking the cycle access earlier. The other one isn't much better but that's at least a single yellow.
"Well we're having a really wonderful time aren't we? Isn't this just wonderful? You know, you're very lucky to get to dine with me. It's a really big deal, a very big deal in fact. Isn't it just fantastic? I'm glad you think so."
It's another lovely sunny morning up in the hills above the haar. #edinburgh currently buried under this blanket. Running back down into it was like running straight into a fridge!
The arrival of spring means the return of the frogs to the pond 💦🐸. Looking forward to the noisy evening chorus.
Spring is in the air! Cycling past the daffodils, coffee from Artisan Roast, @bbc6music.bsky.social playing Miles Davis Blue in Green.. Perfect. #edinburgh
Bike odometer showing 10000km total distance
Boom.. Just broke into 5 figures on my 2.33 year old #TernGSD. That's 10k km, also known as 10M m. Woohoo! Thanks as always to @ternbicycles.com for building such a great ride 😁🚲
On the verge of cancelling apple TV+ but keep thinking I should watch this first..
Had a great time last night seeing @mattmcginnmusic.bsky.social & Beth Malcolm in the beautiful Barony Hall at #CelticConnections. Really great stuff 🎶 🏴
I used this recipe, 77% hydration I think but was a bit on the sticky side (even with 13.5% protein flour) so might reduce a bit next time www.culinaryexploration.eu/blog/old-fai...
The wind speed thingy (anemometer) at the top of Castlelaw was a victim of #storméowyn
Lovely view of the #PentlandHills from the top of Castlelaw. #SundayRun
First #sourdough bake in a long time. Got a bit manhandled after getting stuck in the banneton but not too shabby... #bread
Finally made it along to the cinema to see #Wicked, and it was everything I wanted it to be. I have zero shame to say I loved it despite being a dad in his 40s... 😄🧙♀️
Looking towards the city on the way back down from Capelaw. #edinburgh #PentlandHills
