@BBCSport why is the curling feed so awful? It is practically unwatchable

@ThreeUK good job it wasn’t a real emergency as we didn’t get the alert today….

[Helen Welsh @GuidingHelen]

@chrishoy when one of my Brownies was asked to choose her local hero for her interest badge, this made me smile. Would you like to meet 22 local Brownies this autumn?

@marksandspencer just wanted to say your new Levantine / Lebanese dishes offering is outstanding. We have enjoyed a wonderful mezze with Beqaa valley wine - an absolute treat. Thank you

[Helen Welsh @GuidingHelen]

@BBCSpringwatch A great place for watching dippers is the Almond River between Cammo and Cramond near Edinburgh

@PayPal how can I stop you stealing my money? I moved house and changed phone number 5 years ago, there seems to be no way to get past authentication so you take monthly charges from me for an account I cannot use

[Helen Welsh @GuidingHelen]

@NHS_Lothian Over 60 and I cannot get an flu/booster appointment anywhere in the area at all. Tried phoning, website but apparently nothing is available anywhere anytime and of course you have not sent me a blue envelope!

.@on_lothianbuses What has happened to the X5? Was hoping to catch it to Dirleton tomorrow as 124 takes 1.5 hours….. !!

@gailmfox @s_macn @ScotChiefGuide @GirlguidingScot @GirlguidingEdin @Girlguiding Congratulations Sarah. Looking forward to a local presentation of sunflowers this week to a fab leader who has been a beacon through lockdown

[Helen Welsh @GuidingHelen]

@EcobK Love the poles now available everywhere in Edinburgh for mooring your boat

If @AmazonUK in Scotland has technology it needs to dispose of, please consider donating it to @PKHinnovation - we can put it to great use connecting those who are digitally excluded. Happy to help you help others

@The_Guide_Life @Lord_Lt_Cambs @cambsfrs @GirlguidingCE @gguidinganglia @Girlguiding We used their great video as part of our Rainbow night with firefighters. Unfortunately our station was called out to a real fire half way through the evening!, ending our zoom tour...

Thank you @lescargotbleu for rescuing my lockdown birthday with an exceptional dinner tonight.

[Helen Welsh @GuidingHelen]

Even more wonderful sights on our @BBCWinterwatch walk today

[Helen Welsh @GuidingHelen]

Our very own @BBCWinterwatch walk along the Firth of Forth today.

@thetimes has an interesting article today about the personal benefits of volunteering. I find that volunteering with @PKHinnovation and @digiscot and @GirlguidingScot really helps me cope with lockdown better

[Helen Welsh @GuidingHelen]

Being an @digiscot digital champion is a brilliant part of my week. Volunteering with @PKHinnovation gives me the chance to support novice users across Scotland take their first steps into technology

[Helen Welsh @GuidingHelen]

Great to see @goodthingsfdn chair Helen on @BBCBreakfast this morning. Yes we must close the digital divide. @PKHinnovation are proud to work with you to tackle this in Scotland. We are standing by for donations to turn around.

[Helen Welsh @GuidingHelen]

@BBCBreakfast - yesterday covid vaccinations were news. Today we do not need hours more coverage of random people getting their jabs. Surely there are other more interesting stories to tell.
