Tbh I’m more worried about the person who thinks it appropriate to take pictures at a funeral & then profit from it. Than the slight lapse of concentration, at a social-distance, from a woman at a friends funeral who was previously seen wearing a mask

Today for the 1st time in 18 yrs I heard my mums voice, on a long lost video. Bloody hell it made me cry. She hated being videod/having her pic taken. So this find is gold dust. Easier said than done but, if you can, don’t shy away from pics with loved ones, they will mean a lot

2 days ago marked exactly the amount of years on this earth without my mum as with. A day I’ve had an irrational fear of since being a teenager & losing her. Through the other side & realise it’s just a day. If you are lucky enough to grow up with your parents make the time count

Today I was babysitting a 5 yr old girl who loves to dance. She wants to learn highland, I show yer my best moves, courtesy. Silence. Her face screws, then “hmm that was...QUITE good” I competed for years, taught, often dance on stage. In 6 seconds I was slayed by a 5 yr old...😂

My pal Jonny just reminded me of the joy of the Scottish 1990’s ‘play piece.’ Usually a wee packet of crisps,maybe Golden Wonder or Monster Munch. At playtime you’d check out what others had, lock eyes & declare “one for one.”You’d take one theirs & vice versa. How very civilised

“She’s up to high doh” Bizarrely, never until this moment did it register with me that this is a Scottish saying. I know it now…as the panel looked back at me perplexed

Is it law that when you get over 30 you have 1 night out and then pay for it by spending the whole of the day on the sofa/lying on the floor in your jammies, often needing water or food but taking a good 2 hours each time to work up to going getting some? 😳

Walking through Dalry at 1.48am because it’s probably safer than getting the non-existent taxi home. I’ve just seen a man on a unicycle, who unfortunately cycled into a wall...😬 but long live Dalry and the unicycle man!

‘The meeting of the two Nicola’s’! Was great to have First Minister @nicolasturgeon as a @CulturalCoven guest & chat at Bute House. An interesting & witty guest; the FM clearly has a love for arts and culture. Lovely to be in the company of ‘Britain’s Most Dangerous Woman’!! 😜

If you’re around the Edinburgh area next week, I’m doing a fund raiser for the the Lyceum theatre on Monday 26th. It’ll be a fun evening and if you buy a ticket, all funds go directly towards saving an iconic cultural space

It was near tears of joy when I heard the repair man had got the boiler to work and we had heating for the first time in an age. Celebrated by sitting next to a radiator for 3 hours eating a cupcake and a refresher bar #FirstWorldProblems #AWildNight #IKnowHowToParty
