Looking for a spicy #whodunnit Christmas read, free on #kindleunlimited and set in beautiful, rural Scotland? An Internet swingers' site, a rising body count, detectives dragged around the Argyll countryside. Can you identify the killer first...???

Early morning walk along the boating pond path in Nene Park, Peterborough to blow away the excesses of Friday night...

@kezia_noble Happened to me a couple of years back in Tesco - and then the woman spoiled it by confirming she meant to ask whether I had a Clubcard! ☹️

[Gordon Hamilton @Gordon_Hamilton]

@FoodPleaser Yes. They're essential for colour, flavour, nutrition and authenticity! 😋☺️

@AdamRichman @ITVSport @itvfootball Was incredibly surprised but delighted to see you on screen, Adam. Hope to see a few half-time snack suggestions going forward!!! 😋😄

[Gordon Hamilton @Gordon_Hamilton]

@FoodPleaser I'd try... but it's a mighty big step up from my normal breakfast of 2 mugs of black coffee! 😯

@LanaWolfUK At the head of Loch Fyne, near the brewery at Cairndow. They do have music festivals there and I have no doubt you would steal the show, your voice and presence travelling all 40 miles down to the Firth of Clyde and the open sea...

@FoodPleaser Mine!!! 😋

@FoodPleaser Yams. Can be a bit stringy and not nearly as good as sweet potatoes.

Neighbour called me over earlier to try this Dutch lager he discovered when browsing on Amazon. Oranjeboom. 8 percent ABV 😯 Very unusual but nice. Dangerous drink at that strength...

Huge thanks to author @Gordon_Hamilton for sending me a copy of one of his books - a detective novel set in and around beautiful Oban, West Scotland - Getting Into the Swing of Things. You can also find Gordon on Meet the Indie Author.

@kathrynhall_ It was my great pleasure, Kathryn, and thank you - I hope you enjoy it! 😊

@PaulAnthonyRock Morning, Paul. Was initially struggling this morning but as soon as Thin Lizzy's Rosalie - the greatest track on the greatest live album ever recorded - started playing, I knew that it is 1978. Now I'm properly woken up! 😄

[Gordon Hamilton @Gordon_Hamilton]

@FoodPleaser Simple as the original pizzas almost certainly were. A taste of ancient authenticity perhaps? 🤔

Home (hot) smoked rainbow trout fillet with scrambled duck eggs, beetroot and black olive salad and sauteed Savoy cabbage and onion. Super tasty, ultra healthy! 😋 #smokedtrout #duckeggs #beetrootsalad

[Gordon Hamilton @Gordon_Hamilton]

@FoodPleaser Absolutely love them! Have noticed, though, that more and more people are buying them fresh to cook at home so supermarkets have put their prices up accordingly 🫤

[Gordon Hamilton @Gordon_Hamilton]

@FoodPleaser Sumptuous 😋

[Gordon Hamilton @Gordon_Hamilton]

@_RestoreRangers That's for sure! Can't begin to imagine what we're going to hear in coming days. For now, I'm settling for a beer in each hand and an episode of Only Fools on TV ...
