Graeme Park grew up in Aberdeen in the 1960s and 1970s and was one of the pioneers of house music as well as working at the famous Hacienda in Manchester. He’s a remarkable character, but he lost his teenage son to cancer a year ago and spoke poignantly about this family tragedy. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6409600/aberdeen-dj-graeme-park-hacienda-son-death/

This weekend we walked the Aberdeen costal path and explored the city centre. The art gallery was amazing! The colour of the granite used in the old buildings was so devoid of colour, even in the bright sunshine. A relaxing getaway.

Leila Aboulela arrived in Aberdeen 30 years ago with her husband and two young children. At first, she was homesick, but joined a creative writing course at Central Library and has subsequently become a prize-winning, internationally-renowned author. Her magnificent new book is “River Spirit” which was praised in the New York Times! https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6207405/aberdeen-inspired-leila-aboulela-global-writer/

We had about 50 people at the protest outside the NSTA (North Sea Transition Authority), formally Oil & Gas Authority, the 'regulator' which 'approved' the Rosebank oil field development.

Hope all the other protests went well and. None of this is going to change by voting, everyone needs to organise and get out into the streets!

“The team unexpectedly found the 5.5-foot-long (1.7 meters) carved stone while doing a geophysical survey in Aberlemno, a village with Pictish roots. The stone has several geometric shapes showing abstract Pictish symbols, such as triple ovals, a comb and mirror, a crescent and double discs. Some of the carved symbols overlap, suggesting that they were carved in different time periods, the researchers said.” [march 23/22] https://www.livescience.com/pictish-stone-discovered-scotland

@jon and other border-crossers - what's the present situation for taking a folding bike on EuroStar? Bag it? I'm going from to by rail next week for a conference and would like to bring the Tern.
