First outdoor #SundayMartini of the year. In February, I ask you. And it's a total *humdinger* ๐ธ #PleasureSeeking #WinterSun
Happy #BurnsNight ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
... okay, okay, but we don't all like whisky, right? And those snacks are *definitely* haggis-flavoured ๐๐ค

(I know, I know, it should be a single malt, but I canna thole yon usquebae, as the man himself might put it)
Wigging out to this one as I sip my #SundayMartini which, after all, has a lemon twist in it ๐ธ ๐
First one of 2026. First of many, I hope & trust. Ain't she pretty #SundayMartini ๐ธ
Behold: the first of THREE HUNDRED & TEN ๐ท bulbs planted today. Not just planted - labelled, netted, the lot. Fifty left to do tomorrow. The #TulipFiesta26 is gonna be WILD โจ๏ธ ๐คฉ
You have NO idea how much I'm savouring my #SundayMartini tonight ๐ธ
The clocks have gone back, it's dark at 6pm and the early evening temperature is in single figures for the first time since, I dunno, maybe April? And so it is high time that I declare the fireside #SundayMartini season well & truly open ๐ธ ๐ฅ
Could this be the very last daylight #SundayMartini of 2025? #WinterIsComing ๐ธ ๐ง
Bittersweet day in the garden. So sad to see all the glorious summer flowering finally fade away, but now I've cleared it, I can prepare for #TulipFiesta26: a record 27 varieties, 360 bulbs. It was far from a day of rest, so I think I deserve this #SundayMartini ๐ธ

I started this #SundayMartini ๐ธ indoors and then, say what?!? The balmy Edinburgh evening just blew right back in, so here I am. We gotta get ourselves back to the garden #NameThatTune โจ๏ธ
A late summer alfresco #SundayMartini in Scotland, in common with other things that carry a high scarcity value, is truly a pleasure of great joy & wonder ๐ธโจ๏ธ
My god, see this living-on-your-own malarkey? It's got its upsides, for sure, but everything takes so bloody long when you have to do it all yourself, sometimes you don't get around to your #SundayMartini until half past freakin' eight ๐ธ ๐คฏ
A Devonshire #SundayMartini. Clotted cream gin unaccountably not yet on the market here #BusinessOpportunity๐ธ
I'm sipping my delicious #SundayMartini ๐ธ in the midsummer evening sunshine, listening (on my BEST speakers) to the first rough mixes of the album tracks me & my band are recording, & I'm thinking: two years ago, I *never* would have dreamt this was possible. Yet here I am โจ๏ธ ๐ค
Today's #SundayMartini ๐ธ has taken on a distinct medicinal quality, because, sinusitis. WHAT a horror. How long does it last?!?!? Bleurgh ๐ฑ
Earth has not anything to show more fair, dull would he be of soul who could pass by, etc etc
#SundayMartini ๐ธ
Closing out one of the most full-on fortnights in my young life with a generous #SundayMartini ๐ธ (possibly over-generous...)
I am now facing the prospect of a whole 48 hours without *anything* to do
WHAT a cover version for a very late listen after a #SundayMartini (or several) with two of the most *excellent* women ๐ธ ๐
Sicilian #SundayMartini ๐ฎ๐น
They made me an offer, I couldn't refuse ๐ธ

First Duncan-McCluskey #SundayMartini of 2025. And it's a *belter* ๐ฅ๐ธ
Raising the first #SundayMartini ๐ธ of 2025 to everyone - on here, elsewhere online & (of course!!!) IRL - who keeps me going. Thanks for your generosity, your good humour, your indulgence, your *all-round* fabulousness and, of course, your LURVE โค๏ธ
Keep it coming, people ๐
Despite the best endeavours of @catheadley.bsky.social (for which many thanks) the Twixtmas disorientation effect means the last #SundayMartini of 2024 is now a #MondayMartini. Just as well, since my big #EdinburghsHogmanay nite out with the Hot Dub Time Machine has been cancelled #DancingOnMyOwn๐ธ๐
Currently being kicked in the head by a horse covered in petrol. It's *wonderful* ๐ธ๐

Tell you what, the #SundayMartini ๐ธ hits the spot a *lot* quicker after some of this
