The nights are starting to draw in. Nearly four weeks after the longest day it’s midnight over the #Moray Firth and nearly dark now.

Pray stand for the National Anthem. Belated clip from @JohnIMclaughlin pre-Christmas tribute to Shane MacGowan at The Dome, Liverpool.

PARENTAL WARNING: The poor auld dog was drowned

Great to catch up today Shelagh. Your observant followers will realise that despite my usual Speyside location I was holding a glass of apple juice today and just mid-timed my blink for the camera.

Fabulous story from a fabulous @UHIMoray student!! Great finish to graduation weekend!

[UHI Moray @UHIMoray]

A huge congratulations to our 2024 Student of the Year, Shaqayeq Nejah!

Shaqayeq grew up in Afghanistan and was on track for academic success, until the Taliban attack in 2021.

Belatedly celebrating the @AGBCentre anniversary with my old buddy AGB himself in Cape Breton in Nova Scotia!

[David Patterson @DP40days]

@AGBCentre Belated congratulations on your 10- year anniversary from The Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site in Nova Scotia!!

[David Patterson @DP40days]

I seem to have been re admitted to the X-files so here’s a golden oldie to celebrate. Will take me a while to remember how to actually use Twitter.

[David Patterson @DP40days]

No, @MorayCollege isn't ablaze. It's a spectacular sunrise to the background of the weekly fire alarm test! #DontPanic

[David Patterson @DP40days]

It’s that time of year again.

Lá 'le Pádraig sona dhaoibh!

@DYWMoray @UHIMoray @jackieandrews11 Thanks @DYWMoray

Very much appreciated!!

[David Patterson @DP40days]

@TKMaxxHelp Have DM’ed now

[David Patterson @DP40days]

When is a bargain not a bargain? When it’s on the @TKMaxx_UK reduced shelf. These sandals originally £40 reduced to £25 and then to £20. When I tried to buy them I was told the pricing was “human error” and if I wouldn’t pay £40 they’d be withdrawn from sale. Is this even legal?

[David Patterson @DP40days]

Really proud of both our @UHIMoray apprentices taking part in the @worldskillsuk finals this week. Both are Scottish champions and Danny carried off the UK Gold Medal last night - in some sartorial style!

Also great to catch up earlier with former colleagues at @TheMcrCollege

[David Patterson @DP40days]

After visiting Dunphail today I’m marking 90 Scottish distilleries visited in my odyssey so far. Whisky-making has created a sense place here and shaped the history, culture, and economy of this country. And what a marvellous obsession! Mòran taing dhuibh!

Glad to see the @BurraBears escaped unharmed in the first episode of the new series of #Shetland

[DYW Moray @DYWMoray]

We'd like to say a big thank you to Marius from @pizzeria_planta , Hazel from @morayleisurecentre and Craig from @baxtersofscotland for conducting mock interviews with our @uhimoray practical cookery students. 👏🏼🧑🏼‍🍳

It was the biggest gig @norrietago has ever played, and it wasn’t the most gluten-free platter I’ve had to taste, but this afternoon’s @Speyfest Prosecco Afternoon Tea was an absolute joy, despite the enthusiastic sound checks in the neighbouring tent!

[David Patterson @DP40days]

@Graham__Coull You don’t know how lucky you are…

[David Patterson @DP40days]

@AkehurstHeather @CCCNHS Delighted to hear that particular bell ring!
