All the others are "Get the SNP out, they're rubbish" whereas this guy just gives it straight. This is what we need, here's a plan to do it. That's the kind of person needed.

Here me out, this is the only Scottish election leaflet through the door I've read and thought I can get on board with a lot of these ideas.

I guess if I'm paying a monthly fee, I should at least turn up to the gym once a month.

Doing a thing for the work Pride network. My knowledge of south east England is somewhat iffy.
I know Gatwick isn't in London but would London be the closest place for attending a Pride event?

Yes I am.

Back to early morning Saturday walkies. Was nice and dry around 8am, now it's raining.

Loving the brightness. Giving positive vibes.

Have just booked tickets for a labrador meet up at the Slug and Lettuce in Edinburgh next Sunday morning.
This has the making of a bad decision.

It's not that our dog is bad, he just gets highly excited when he meets other labradors.

As part of the Pride network for the organisation, I'm gathering details of Pride events close to our offices.
We recently purchased a Dubai based firm, should I ask if there are any Pride events taking place near them?

Absolutely. I'm going to have to join the local library.

£19 for two paperback books and that's buy one, get one half price. Since when did reading paperbacks become so expensive?

And that's just the list candidate vote. There's then a separate ballot paper for who you want to represent your area.

How many candidates!? How many have no chance of getting a return of their deposit?

Had the promise of a nice day, but that Edinburgh wind cuts through you.

It really is an amazing specimen.

Haven't been to the gym in a month. One of the side effects of not going is losing strength in my right ankle joint.
It's as if it's saying "Oy, you're getting fat and I can't support you anymore!"
I guess old age is your body parts just mocking you.

He really is worse than Laura Kuensberg. Which is something.

Have been really under the weather for the last two days. Just for shots and goggles, have found the COVID tests to see if that's the issue.

It is not COVID (or if it is, the supermarket tests which go out of date soon haven't picked it up).

Another advert using an upbeat song. Ribena using 99 Red Balloons by Nena.

You know the one, where the red balloons trigger a nuclear war?

Makes a change from using Enola Gay I suppose.

£102 for a passport. I'd better go abroad on a regular basis with this one to get my money's worth.

Finished my text book and booked my next exam for early May.

This has been a positive weekend.

New light fitting sorted and with no electric shocks.

I thought the builders would have used rawl plugs when attaching the light fitting. Based on the other shoddy work around the house, I'm not actually surprised there aren't.

Mine is only around 21 years old. Gone through a few batteries and only one replacement strap. These things were built to last.

Well that's a very nice hump you have there.

If this recent mission does nothing else but bring back wah wah peddles for electric guitars, then it's a success.

Probably easier not having a labrador who wees on everything and kicks the lawn relentlessly every time he does wee.

The things I'd do for a garden with that much colour.

I totally understand. Bond was fed up hearing his voice advertising everything.

No one could call you a bad husband. Although I'm with Ian, if I'm tired I just want my bed.
