Are you having a laugh @X? First you hide XPro (Tweetdeck), a free resource behind a paywall. Now you’re hiding it behind a higher paid tier! Ridiculous way to treat users.

Always enjoy adding a Rachel Bright book to our at home collection. It’s now passing onto Hannah now that Harris is getting older too.

Had the day off today to attend an appointment with my son Harris. So will maybe get a bit more time with this. Have to admit, it’s not grabbed me as much as I’d hoped.

Our book thread is now up on our Facebook book group. Laidlaw by William McIlvanney. I thought it was a good quality Scottish crime novel. I liked Laidlaw as a character, someone with a lot of discover about. It depicted an accurate description of the underworld society.

Slightly late with a #ChartershipTuesdays update. Slow progress today. Feel like I’m suffering a little of the blank page problem. Finding the right starting point to start getting something down on paper. But began looking at updating my CV at least.
