Looking forward to @mattforde show at Glee Club Glasgow tonight. What a shame there's hardly any material to work with right now 🤔

@colin_fleming - enjoyed your on court interview with Carlos yesterday, very entertaining! I'm in Melbourne at Aussie Open today & Wednesday. It's fab.....maybe I'll run into you!! 😁

Took part in the #Supernova run over the Forth Road Bridge - great event, lovely conditions, so well organised! Quite a sight to see all the participants with their head torches. #goforth @StColumbas

Great show from @AngelaBarnes at Assembly. So much energy! If this is the WIP, the final show will be wunderbar!

[Lesley Abbott @CasaAbbott]

Brilliant, hilarious show from Mark Nelson at Monkey Barrel Hive last night. Raymond & his harem were splitting their sides! 🤣

@mattforde such a shame about last night's show, hope the audience members were okay. Hopefully we'll see you soon!

@artsdepot @mattforde @sophiedukebox Matt, your show is always our must see at Edinburgh - so glad to see you back on your feet. I bet we're in for a treat! 🔥

@JudyMurray Fully behind this but sadly the CEO of Tennis Scotland would probably prefer a chocolate statue of himself!

@Edinburgh_CC @HalOsler Stopping use of chemicals is just a smokescreen for not fulfilling your responsibilities to upkeep the city's roads and pavements. You have a nerve to ask citizens to "self weed". In areas of heavy parking, just put up temporary no parking signs, as you do for line painting.

[Lesley Abbott @CasaAbbott]

@Edinburgh_CC @HalOsler
Weeds now waist high on Queensferry Road and surrounding Comely Bank areas. Bad for infrastructure, dreadful optics for Edinburgh. When will this be sorted?

[Lesley Abbott @CasaAbbott]

@MelBenson111 @BrodiesLLP @eicc @lesleymcd76 @colin_fleming Bet you nailed it!

[Lesley Abbott @CasaAbbott]

This is an intimate, vivid, often funny account of love, death, grief and the relationship between two sisters - Jo & her late sister Annie.

Let's maximise @Jo_Caulfield 's fundraising for cancer charities! Once you've read 'The Funny Thing about Death' (and you should!) please consider donating it to your local hospice or cancer research bookshop. Here it is centre stage @StColumbas bookshop in Edinburgh.

[Lesley Abbott @CasaAbbott]

Jo Caulfield's book The Funny Thing About Death now taking pride of place in window of @StColumbas bookshop. A funny and insightful take on grief and the relationship between sisters. Buy it!

@bbcscotland anyone going to tell Neil McCann that Rangers are actually playing ServETTE tonight and not a team named after a napkin? 🙄
