Multaj aliuloj pli bone komentos pri la honto en la eŭropaj balotad-rezultoj, sed klare ĝi estas aĉa tago por paco en nia kontinento: tio estas apud la fakto ke ĝi estas la unua post-britelira eŭropa balotado, kiu estas tristego por mi kaj aliaj skotanoj kaj britanoj. Ke faŝistoj antaŭenpaŝas en pluraj EU-membroj timigas, speciale kiam milito jam venis al Eŭropo. Rezultoj donas esperon en kelkaj landoj, sed zorgon en gravaj landoj kiel Francio la Germanio.

Kien nun?

Why are they called bakery patrons and not crustomers?

Watching the Scotland-Finland match tonight. A barren wasteland at the edge of Europe populated by morose, grumpy, sun-starved people with terrible diets and serious chips on their shoulders regarding neighbouring countries, versus…

I’ve been in Perth over the past twenty four hours. I’ve not travelled that way for a while, so it was nice to see that train line which I know so well.

Mi estis en Perth dum la pasintaj dudek kvar horoj. Mi ne veturis tien ekde longa tempo, do estis bone vidi tiun trajnlinion kiun mi konas tiel bone.

Committing to doing Gaelic daily on Duolingo makes me feel under an diugh pressure.

Interesting details in this article that Supermac’s might be coming to the UK. Having kind of fallen for them during my time in Ireland this is good news.

I have a massive soft spot for Red Dwarf - a science fiction sitcom that, like the best scifi, is about the people and communities not the science. And clicking back from a more recent “How we made…” on The Guardian, I landed (like Starbug) on this piece.

A good piece on the impossible task of stating Inverness’s population - which is rooted in the fact that the city is not actually defined. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/inverness/6486537/what-is-the-population-of-inverness/

A glorious waste of a day.
Glora malŝparo de tago.

@simonvarwell Woo hoo!! Always therapeutic to waste a day occasionally.

@sister_ratched definitely. Just caught up on news about your auntie. All peace to you all.

What an awful shame for Trump.

Sorry I meant what an awful shameful Trump.

I’ve finished Daniel Kalder’s Dictator Literature, or as it was titled in the USA (with in my view a better title) The Infernal Library - a darkly humorous dive into the writings of dictators. It’s an often enlightening insight into some horrible minds, and a call for scepticism and critique of our leaders. A big book and a long read, and the first change in my reading list for a while. Not sure I’ll add anything at the moment.

@simonvarwell Interesting, I will take a look at this one.

@cmniciosaig an unusual book but quite compelling.

I have a soft spot for Stroma (not stoma - that’s something else). We have friends round and… nobody else wanted any. Is it wrong that I made this imprint by myself?

A bottle of Stroma liqueur next to a glass. The bottle is half-full.

Not unless you intend driving.
Used to be called Pulteney Liqueur, though I think when they changed the name they might have started adding some non Old Pulteney into the mix.

@HighlandLawyer ah interesting. It’s lovely stuff. And no, no driving!

Grim but sensitively written article about life in - and now furth of - Grindavík, the Icelandic town closed down by volcanic activity.
