Life is a Festival!

My review of another amazing edition of Celtic Connections with music from Scotland and further afield, lots of dancing, fun & the unique Glasgow atmosphere that makes the festival so special! lifeisafestival.wordpress.com/2026/02/23/d... #livemusic #Glasgow #Scotland #musicfestival

Great, feel free to ask if you are stuck with any particular questions. We also have some adorable highland coos here in Glasgow 🐮😍

So true! Glad you enjoyed the read, lots of good books to get stuck into during the holidays 🎄📚

Aye Write 2025: A Bookish November to Remember It was so great to finally have had Glasgow’s Aye Write book festival back this year, especially as it was its 20th anniversary! It brightened up my November so much and I attended as ma…

November in #Glasgow brought books, dogs, ideas, music, food, history and more - all at the fabulous #AyeWrite2025 book festival! 📚🎉 lifeisafestival.wordpress.com/2025/12/06/a... @orendabooks.bsky.social @fionabrownlee.bsky.social #booksky #amwriting #amreading #fiction #dogsky #foodsky #Scotland

One of my favourite views in #Glasgow from GRCH down Buchanan street (today with the wheel of the Christmas market in the distance) 🤩 #architecture #photography #streetphotography #Scotland

The first recommendation is #nordicnoir 😊📚 & there are plenty of other #crimefiction events, too. I enjoyed everything I saw so far (review coming up) incl. Scottish myths, Glasgow music scene, midlife crisis, serial killer fiction, Book of Kells - quite a mix! #ayewrite2025 #booksky #Glasgow 🙏🎉

It's #ayewrite2025 time in #Glasgow and I'm excited to be part of the festival blog tour! 📚🎉 Details here 👉

The bit about continuous partial attention is really interesting and explains why there is so much 'casual' content out there (sad but a fact I guess).

Cameron, one of the Pollok fold bulls, is a pretty impressive beast 🥰 #PollokPark #Highlandcows #coosday #cows #Scotland

Watch My Octopus Teacher | Netflix Official Site A filmmaker forges an unusual friendship with an octopus living in a South African kelp forest, learning as the animal shares the mysteries of her world.

It seems to be World Octopus Day today! If you haven't watched My Octopus Teacher on Netflix yet, it's a fascinating watch 🐙💚https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81045007?preventIntent=true

True and yeah, I understand how it's meant, I just often visit places during unusually busy times and feel I have an unrealistic impression based on it. I'm glad Glasgow lives up to the hype year round in all the best ways though (at least imho 😅).

Haha! Shrewsbury is such a nice town though, but I've only ever visited during the folk fest when I feel it was mostly the opposite 😅🎻🎉

I know some #rabbits who would enjoy this challenge, but I also want to get past this stupid page, so sorry bunnies, you're not getting a tick 😁✅🐇

You should, even on rainy days it's so beautiful and I love how different seasons smell 😊

At the local library:
Do you have a #translatedbooks section?
Polish books?
No, books in English translated from other languages.
Urdu?
Never mind.
