Hello everyone! 😁

[westscotlandbsl @westscotlandbsl]

For the past two afternoons we have been working with East Renfrewshire council delivering basic BSL and Deaf awareness training its staff and partners. The sessions were booked out and the feedback has been great. Well done to everyone involved. There are still a few places available for the February sessions if you are interested. #bsl #britishsignlanguage #bsltraining #eastrenfrewshire #eastrenfrewshirecouncil

We don't have our own penguin national team, so we're supporting Scotland in the European Championship - C'mon Scotland!!!!!!

We are very lucky to have this opportunity to work with the teachers of Renfrewshire delivering our Deaf awareness CPD course at the newly renovated Paisley Town Hall @onerenculture @weareoneren #britishsignlanguage #bsl #bsltraining #renfrewshire #oneren

[westscotlandbsl @westscotlandbsl]

This has been made possible by the Culture, Heritage, and Event Fund. Many thanks to @FuturePaisley @Oneren and @renfrewshire council for making this possible. @EducationScot is this something you would be interested in having a chat about? #britishsignlanguage #BSLinschools

[westscotlandbsl @westscotlandbsl]

Please think about making your place of work much more deaf aware. Contact us at [email protected] to have a chat about what you can do to improve your accessibility #bsl #bslweek #britishsignlanguage #deafawareness #training #accessibility

P5 and P6 loved learning Christmas words in British Sign Language yesterday. Thank you to David for teaching us this useful language, we would love to learn more BSL in the future! @westscotlandbsl @EastRenLangs

[Graham Dow @fabypenguin]

@mcgillswest Yeah it was today, at 12pm on Gauze Street in Paisley.

[Graham Dow @fabypenguin]

@mcgillswest shocking service with the no.66 bus especially on a Sunday. Happened a few times where I’d track the bus, waiting in town centre, and it would be just around the corner according to the app then would disappear, no explanation. No show and have to wait 30 more mins.

[Graham Dow @fabypenguin]

@ZeldaUniverse Even though I love Breath of the Wild, I’d take Tears of the Kingdom. A lot more stuff to do in TOTK and the world feels less sparse. Both are awesome games in their own right though ☺️

[westscotlandbsl @westscotlandbsl]

This is a great opportunity for training your staff through the summer. #britishsignlanguage #bsltraining #bsl #learnbsl #worktraining #workdevelopment #lifeskills

[westscotlandbsl @westscotlandbsl]

We are proud to announce that we are starting basic BSL and work specific training with the staff from @RenCouncil housing team today #BSL #bsltraining #renfrewshire #renfrewshirecouncil

[westscotlandbsl @westscotlandbsl]

We are excited to announce that we will be involved in training the secret collection staff and other selected staff from @oneren for the next 6 weeks due to the Culture, Arts, Health and Social Care - Small Grant Funds #bsltraining #bsl #oneren

[westscotlandbsl @westscotlandbsl]

Me and @fabypenguin were fortunate enough to see the northern lights. We feel very blessed

[westscotlandbsl @westscotlandbsl]

So let’s settle this. Who is eating their Kit Kat the right way? @fabypenguin

[Graham Dow @fabypenguin]

Is it not so annoying when you try to clear up something and there’s people chirping in with their “what if” scenarios with their sole purpose is to discredit you?

Like no, I’m not asking for any of this as you don’t earn a right to discredit my deafness and/or my experiences…

[Graham Dow @fabypenguin]

@andrewhdonohoe @fesshole Yeah I do get it, just wanted to make a point so people don’t pass judgement on deaf drivers. We always get shocked looks or silly questions from non deaf people when we say we drive. Nothing against the OP’s post :)
