@seedsgirl@msjlindsay It seems unlikely if not unbelievable but there are people out there who think it's a storm in a remote teacup somewhere off the coast of St Kilda & aren't even aware it's a thing. They're just thinking about what works for their own booklaunch, PR or whatever.
@moveincircles Oh my days... you get away with the illusion you're moving about in a normalish world along with at least a few vaguely sane people (eating bread. Getting buses. Walking the dog) then you accidentally return to - Twitter.
An impromptu ceilidh captured the upbeat mood of party-people at our 40th anniversary celebration of partnerships and projects at Edinburgh Castle last night.

@colwight@ItsGoneAwry Then it all gets more complicated. The apple goes and falls from the tree. You can’t eat the thought of gravity or the gravity… more’s the pity.
It was an honour to meet Queen Camilla and share our mutual love of poetry & Robert Burns at the #Edinburgh900 celebration at Edinburgh Castle. We gifted a limited edition print of “Ae Fond Kiss” (Farewell to Nancy).
Sir Alexander McCall Smith dedicated a new poem, “Nine Hundred Years”, for the special occasion.

Thank you @HippocratesInit - and for having me in Avilés. It was a fantastic symposium with so many new ideas and amazing poems, from the medical community and beyond, at a beautiful venue.
The local cider wasn’t bad, too 🙃 #poetryandmedicine#hippocratesprize#sagradafamilia
🌷What do we do when someone we cared for is taken away from us? When we can’t share life with them? @cdaventry addresses this tough topic with her poem 'Sagrada Familia', 1st prize winner in the Open Category #HippoCratesPoetryPrize.
