Man & his son die after “Hillwalking” in Glencoe. There are no hills in Glencoe, only mountains that become dangerous in bad weather. The real tragedy is that not enough people realise that.

After a long morning of loading the POD, stuffing the car, cleaning, scrubbing, double-checking, all on very little sleep… we’re off! #Canada here we come.

#Hammy loves these long road trips.

First night: Sacramento-ish.

I’m sorry but I can’t vote for a party whose leader says membership of the SM&CU will not increase trade. I just can’t.

Scottish farmed salmon will henceforth be known as Scottish salmon. I had friends who worked in the industry. They always said stick to wild salmon.

Why do Swedish warships have barcodes on their hulls? So they can Scandinavian when they return to port.

What the UK Government could do with the £540 million it will cost to send 300 Asylum seekers to Rwanda? Help the NHS, assist UK education institutions, feed the poor etc etc.

EU propose student exchanges between themselves and UK. Tories-naturally no, but Labour no as well. I wonder if any UK students will vote Labour? I hope not. What a fantastic opportunity lost.

Shoutout to all the doctors and nurses I saw at Wigan Infirmary today when having a pacemaker fitted. Without exception they were all brilliant.🤩 Now on to life with a pacemaker.

#Utah Child Care Providers Are Struggling. Lawmakers Haven’t Helped.

Legislators ended their session without making a direct investment in #ChildCare.

Instead, they loosened #regulations on unlicensed #care, a move that operators, #parents and other advocates say is unsafe.

But this is how it has ended up.

UK Labour: There will always be an excuse to do nothing. That’s the reason we’re in the mess we’re in. Creating a country with a strong economy but a weak environment is pointless. You’re simply playing into the hands of the present government. The electorate are likely to punish you and then we all lose.

UK Tories dithering blindly from one bonkers idea to the next. Remember when you vote, UK citizens, vote tactically to get the Tories out.

I see the latest racist in the Tory Party is Liz Frazer who has determined that the Channel 4 board does not deserve another ethnic minority candidate on it. Get them out!

Apparently, there is a Life article in the Grauniad today on how people over 60 met, scoffs the OH. Not a patch on us. Me ( first words to now OH) “Would you like to go to the climbing wall. Women make such elegant climbers!” The rest is history plus a few climbs.

This was a message for British mobile phone users. I have been in Spain for two weeks now and have not been able to use my Vodafone mobile phone to speak to anyone in that time. I seem to spend hours every day trying to sort it with them but to no avail. I have never had a problem in the past but cannot solve this one. I point out that not being able to phone my wife is quite serious especially as we are both in our late 70s!. If anyone can pass this message on to Vodafone I would be grateful.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to whatever day today's has decided to be! Saturday, I think. MrsD came home last night after an evening out with the girls, bearing lots of @Raspberry_Pi goodies for my Christmas. She's definitely a keeper! 😁

Have a great day folks, even if the weather it rubbish again. Don't forget to laugh a lot and have fun.

Today's random photo is from Christmas Eve 2021. Have an early Happy Christmas from Wesley---if you celebrate that is.
