Ambling around the Twittersphere, scattering opinions like fairy stardust. Libertarian, unionist and proud Scot, business owner, mother - in no particular order

@murdo_fraser Not just pubs but also hotels and wedding and events venues!

A bad week to be a celebrity with an alliterative name. Ozzy Osborne, Hulk Hogan RIP. Sharon Stone, Keira Knightly and Steven Spielberg should be careful crossing the road

I have been loving splashing in our local river but I’m always mindful of water quality. This doesn’t reassure me - even though I’m in Scotland https://t.co/oOC6odATfF

Someone share this with the civil servants and policy makers please. @ASSCnews @VisitScotland #SaveSC

Does being excited because my sweet peas are about to bloom make me an old person? Maybe don’t answer that…

Pulp in Glasgow. Everything I hoped they would be and more #pulp #more

Anyone who likes @TheAvalanches should give Loaded Honey a listen. I may have found the soundtrack to my summer

No, it's not April 1st.

The SNP really are going to ban birthday cakes in nurseries. 🙈

What a joyless place they have turned Scotland into.

Common sense in Ireland as their draconian Short-Term Let plans have been shelved, with Cllr Brendan Cronin calling them a ‘witch hunt’.

Will @scotgov wake up and recognise that their #STL regulations are achieving nothing, whilst destroying livelihoods and damaging tourism?

Masterly overview from ⁦@CitySamuel⁩. One worry not mentioned is that £22bn for NHS will be spent in private sector (courtesy of Alan Milburn influence) reducing waiting lists and in 2 years we’ll be back to square one with little new equipment or better use of staff time

@Edinburgh_CC We are turning away visitors to Edinburgh because we can’t open our calendar for next year because of the uncertainty. Many will go to other cities. Not helpful for businesses and cultural attractions in Edinburgh!

New tenant moves into a house and changes location of picture to somewhere else in same property. The end. It’s not really a big story, is it

[Cat Macdonald-Home @MacdonaldHome]

Banning smoking outside pubs smacks of tinkering around the edges when you can’t do much about the big issues

[Cat Macdonald-Home @MacdonaldHome]

@TPExpressTrains Thank you. It’s disappointing as we had planned festival shows around having the later train services in place

[Cat Macdonald-Home @MacdonaldHome]

But ⁦@Edinburgh_CC⁩ claims these are normal residential streets that should be used for dwellings but not holiday lets. The reality is that the High Street is a circus that’s fun for a short stay but a nightmare to live on ⁦@SaveSCScotland⁩ #savescscotland

[SaveSelfCatering @SaveSCScotland]

Great to know @Edinburgh_CC supports offshore property magnets whilst axing local self catering. Clearly the right thing to do. Just don't mention affordable housing crisis! #SaveSC Former Edinburgh department store to be transformed into luxury hotel https://t.co/eRGiVFORW7

Love that @DUALIPA is wearing a Shakespeare’s Sister t-shirt. Blast from the past for us old people #Glastonbury #DuaLipa

@FionaCampbell74 @Ivan_McKee @ScotParl @BurnessPaullLLP Hoping sense will prevail!

@ClareEdinburgh @rock_shamrock @ashlea_magic @xerxes5th @JonnyHunte70640 @marramgrass252 @ASSCnews @ELCouncil @SaveSCScotland I work in weddings. We see many hard working hair and make up artists. They all bring wheely bags. They are usually at our venue by 8.30am, often having travelled for several hours. Based on experience they often drag bags up and down stairs. Is this less noisy than a tourist?
