Winter weather....you read it here first.

Short wait at the barbers. They’ve had quite a busy morning it seems.

Rarely bought newspapers since the Scottish Independence Referendum in 2014, I probably only pick one up here.

I prefer to get my news and opinions through social media channels, particularly Twitter, (ok, I know that it can be controversial); with a selective approach it’s possible to read widely, quite comprehensively, and to obtain a much wider range of views than from one biased publication. As a medium Twitter has come into it’s own post the Scottish IndyRef and Brexit - I’ve read many a thought provoking piece from home and abroad, including foreign views re these topics and many more matters eg US politics, health, science.... and rugby and the weather.
