@EmiratesSupport Are you able to confirm if there will be a flight from Dubai to Glasgow on the 8th March please? I'm due to travel on that flight but online it says Glasgow is not one of the 7 UK airports you're currently flying to but yet I have received no cancellation notice.

[Jane MacLennan @JMacL]

@GLA_Airport Any chance you might know if there will be a flight from Dubai to Glasgow landing tomorrow morning at all please? It's saying scheduled & I'm all checked in, but Emirates online saying they not flying to Glasgow as one of their 7 current UK airports.

I've always wanted to get a picture of my lorry underneath a dancing sky. Well, on Monday 27th February 2023 - I got my dream shots!! 🤩

This was the scene between Drumnadrochit & Abriachan on the A82 late this morning. Massive thanks to @NWTrunkRoads & to @northernPolice for keeping the road network flowing as best they could in such challenging conditions, allowing us to get road salt delivered to other places.

[Scania UK @ScaniaUK]

Christmas is coming, and @JMacL has been getting in the festive mood by decking out her Scania with some colourful fairy lights.

With its lights shining the cab of her R 450 looks like a warm and festive place to be.

Has anyone else added festive lights to their #Scania?

@bt_uk If you can't remember your BT account details, how can you upgrade your router please? Mine is now barely working & it's not very handy.

@sweenyness Am hauling tar to Uist this week so I'll get to see some of Harris as I'm going over Tarbert-Uig-Lochmaddy but returning Berneray-Leverburgh. Ness is on the hit list actually. Might head up there once I've found somewhere for some food in Stornoway. Any recommendations for that?

[Jane MacLennan @JMacL]

Working out of Stornoway this week & have a little free time to tour. Where should I go? Any suggestions @sweenyness?

[Jane MacLennan @JMacL]

@GarminUK Any idea why my Garmin VivoSport might not be holding battery charge anymore? Bought in July last year & I've cleaned the terminals & done factory reset but still not holding a charge. Surely it should've lasted longer than this?

[Jane MacLennan @JMacL]

@sweenyness I'm just wondering what the process is for claiming back the expenses for the Class 2 licence that I had to obtain before I could get my Class 1.....

[Jane MacLennan @JMacL]

The job I've been the most proud to work on & be part of. 👌🏼👌🏼 Am so glad the lady will be ok too.

[HM CG-Highland @HMCGHighland]

Quite a monumental moment today. After a lot of hard work from the Applecross community in raising funds for this life saving helicopter pad in the community, our Inverness Search & Rescue helicopter was the first one using it today.

Brilliant work.

@HMCGHighland As one of the lorry drivers who was helping to build this, I am so happy that Applecross now have a helipad. Delighted to hear the lady will be ok too. Sad it came about after the tragic loss of one so young but hopefully will save so many more.

Really stunning day on Friday to run road salt from Inverness to Applecross in my 8/w tipper truck, alongside my Dad in his artic. Look at those views! 😍 #LoveMyJob #FemaleTrucker #TipperTruck #ScottishHighlands

[Jane MacLennan @JMacL]

@HighlandRampage That look is closely followed by the look of "OMG - what's a lorry doing on a road like this?!" & "OMFG - it's a female behind the wheel!!!" 😂😂 I suspect this coming week is going to be even worse..... 🙄🙄

[Jane MacLennan @JMacL]

@HighlandRampage It's been an interesting week on the Applecross coast road for me in my tipper truck! The look of sheer horror when a campervan driver sees me & realises they're going to have to reverse!! 🙈🙈

[Jane MacLennan @JMacL]

@caldamac Amazing how many new people are in my neck of the woods. Also amazing how many incomers don't realise I'm a local, from very local family, born & brought up here!! That might have something to do with me being a lorry driver & working away each week until lockdown started. 😂

[Jane MacLennan @JMacL]

@HI_Voices I had to deliver a load of rock to the lodge at Glen Affric recently. First time I'd ever been up there - it was just beautiful. Thon road is interesting to drive in an 8 wheel tipper truck though! 🙈😂

Isolation Day 93:

Learned how to climb walls.....

😉😂

[Jane MacLennan @JMacL]

Day 157 of isolation. (What do you mean it's only been a week??)

Made pancakes.

Moral of the story?

Be more clear in your instructions of how you want them.....

😂😉😂

[Jane MacLennan @JMacL]

@andywightman I am delighted to hear this!! 😁🎉
