Alba: Scotland

 'Etive Walks', and other  photos... This photograph was taken shortly after our youngster Dylan created this Artwork... Will elder Mr. Dylan MacDonald be pleased about this particular exhibition ⁉️  🤨   ~ happy times remembered!  😍 (Sunday, March 30, 2008, at 10:25 pm) Dylan's  a tall, calm and self-assured man and certainly not an excitable person. Although we've seldom had chances to spend much time together, I re  re-recognised his quiet and determined calmness; this element of character is an invaluable and his beloved partner and their little sonle trait and one which any future employer would greatly value! Dylan lives in Scotland's Perth, where the rest of our family are bound to be regular visitors in future; especially his Mother and sister Claire.  💓

Lost Souls?  😉 'A realistic human drama' was  our walk today,  Both Young and me: a luckless pair anyway; Two hapless victims of life... One might say.   It's where they are doomed to stay!

Towerdrill's Base-unit...  Today's main task involved the forming of a suitable storage area for my Router and its 'Bits' etc.  In my youth, I'd worked as an apprentice in a reputable Home Furnishing business in Oban - at the time when everything was going Metric, and we were needing to use both 'Metric' and Imperial systems during the transition period, which felt fine, thanks to my age's schooling; however, my Boss was much older than me, and shortly afterwards my about-to-be workmate, was nine years older than me... nowadays I'm a retired man, and I  fondly remember being the youngster in that team! 🙂 That particular employment was really pleasurable and wonderfully informative - I'm always grateful for what I'd learned, including the processes involved in repairing and restoring classical furniture; also the numerous elements during a mixture of inter-trade jobs that we became involved with... thank goodness for the opportunity, th...

Alba/Scotland's rebirth... regaining freedom?  🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 On 31/1/2020, we hear from our First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon... Scotland's future prospects are sure to be democratically guided by Scotland's electorate - and no other entity! Presently, London's government is clearly demonstrating many of the reasons that prove that their political behaviour is diametrically opposed to honestly-honourable! ❗️ This piece addresses both past and present: "In Scotland, 'Union' was assoc iated with military occupation, in England with heavy taxes and had  little popular support in either country. It was dissolved by the 1660 Restoration of Charles II despite a petition by Scottish members of the Commonwealth Parliament for its continuance"... (not unknown, of course) however, our predecessors couldn't even begin to imagine today! I'm writing this piece - and in hardly any time, a cousin, living in Australia, will read and may post hi...

Snowfall... Snowy! Today's snowy weather is remarkably interesting as poor Rosemary has decided to 'err on the safe side and take a bus to her workplace... however, buses also suffer from weather conditions - thankfully, her boss was happy to collect her and a workmate in his 4 x 4 vehicle ~ very handy‼️😉 Otherwise, while my photograph shows my motorcycle in its weatherproofing, I'm comfortable that the Kawasaki's safely parked for a wee while longer before I return it indoors to the usual place in the first unit of our Craftshop/workshop; and its location for positive care and relevant benefits. 👍  That workshop's the physical and ultimate evidence of what had been a long-held intention for a number of years and the conclusion of a long time project.   because such notions seldom remain at the forefront of thought - while the description is an active element; the spirit of the prospect is truly ineffable: too great or extreme to be expressed or ...

                                                                        Resumption! The Kingdom of Scotland emerged as an independent sovereign state in the European Early Middle Ages and continued to exist until 1707... Scotland subsequently entered into a political union with England on 1 May 1707 to create the new Kingdom of Great Britain... however, one of the nations has failed to honour that 'political union', and that isn't Scotland: the United Kingdon is no longer legitimate; so both Scotland and England are freshly INDEPENDENT ‼️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 💓

Incumbent⁉️ Necessary, for as a duty, or responsibility; this train of thinking's universally sound... which doesn't relate to a single London Tory; seeing very few exceptions: avoidable wound! © Ewen A. Morrison 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ............................................................... Scotland's deer population and its future? ⁉️ Numerous Scottish conservation groups have called for legally enforceable culls of the land's deer population... a reduction in the country’s wild deer population would help to counteract the accelerating climate crises (methane emissions). A beneficial form of deer stock-control management and the venison supply could be marketed safely! While I'm not an expert, I've read that the population is in the hundreds of thousands? Histo rically, however, the culling of deer has been carried out for a number of reasons (including financial ones! ~ biggest and best antler?). In other countries, like ...

  Scotland/Alba Scotland's right to self-determination is upheld by Scottish constitutional law and supported by international law. Scotland needs permission from no organisation in any land anywhere to recall Scotland's Parliament, holding parliamentary elections so to do. Nor is there any need for another referendum, for the will of the people has been expressed with more than adequate clarity for decades, even centuries. What we need now is for our elected representatives to put the will of the people into effect , IF NECESSARY, WITHOUT FURTHER REFERENCE TO WESTMINSTER.

                                                        My return and assessingly viewing... It's been quite a while since I've last sat here to press these keys and hopefully, I'll remain a regular/semipermanent attendant?! I'm so out of touch with this option that it tends to blur in amongst much of what seems, presently, to be in a state of fluxation - so much flux, that it's not easy to say why! 🙁 Anyway, rather than see uncertain text, the text needs to inspire the occasional smile 😊 ~ happily, emojis are readily available, but it seems more natural when reacting to reality itself; so, as I sit here in this second section of our Workshop... where it tends to feel like one of a number of workshops (including the garden toolshed), thereby, we think of the workshops at 27, which is the house number... so to say 'Workshops27' fits with b...
