Saw an otter, on the Water of Leith at Saughton Park Sadly this was the only photo I got - it was getting dark, & the wee bugger was too fast (and mostly underwater!). But what a wonderful thing to see. #Edinburgh #Edimbourg #photography #wildlife

Autumn Otter

Something I didn't expect to see today, an otter swimming around in the Water of Leith, just where it cuts through Saughton Park and Gardens. I know one has been spotted around this stretch a few...

@JonCG @jeffvandermeer What an absolute arsebag. Astonishing the amount of old men who are terrified of a teenage girl who knows how to articulate.

@JaneJohnsonBakr @IndieWire Little better here, so many authors denied visas by 'hostile environment' home office last year despite being sponsored by publishers & book fests. Usually always African & Middle East they deny, I wonder why...

I still think Dudley and Eunice sound less like serious storm names and more like the names of an elderly couple, perhaps a retired vicar and his wife, living in a small village in Shropshire.
