@marjorielotfi I know now everyone agrees, but wanting to be Scottish is, for me, the only requirement to be Scottish. Love!

@AlisonMoyet @Jonny_Hallidaye So deep. So true :-) <3

I will not shut up. I will not be silenced by men who prioritise applause from Stonewall over the safety of women and girls.

A rich, lefty, white male celebrity so blinded by ideology he can’t see the optics of attacking the only black woman in government by calling publicly for my existence to end…..(1/2)

@JonathanMeres Children are excellent judges of character!

@TheFriendMag An Honourable Thief by @DouglasSkelton1 An ex-soldier and highwayman is pressed into the service of the crown. Realistically swashbuckling :-)

It was just that sort of day! Gave the writing group a no-warning, write-for-ten-minutes, prompt of... Soup!
And they did not let me down. Amazing results! (Writing-wise, not actual-soup-wise!)

@kimmoorepoet I tutor a writing group. I'm doing a regular piece on poetry - "classical" and modern, just to raise awareness of different styles. Tomorrow, it's going to be WB Yeats' Down By The Salley Gardens and could I please include your "Once I knew a man who thought he knew everything"?

Loving this account of the men in the life of a girl/woman by Doctor @kimmoorepoet . No excuses, no punches pulled, all the usually unsaid stuff beautifully said.

[David McLaughlan @davidwordworker]

True story. Poeticised :-)

@louisewelsh00 At least one of those dragons is a work of art. So, I'm guessing they both are!
