Truly awesome stuff (again) from @BBCMaryam. Interviewing an expert about the cancer she herself has been fighting and then, in her own inimitable, personable and cheery manner, ‘auditioning’ for the ‘off key choir’. She truly makes a bulletin special.

Such low pressure, but no forecast for rain. Can the pressure ever be too low for rain, or is this anything to do with climate change? I just don’t know. – at Amisfield, Scotland
Super low pressure on the kitchen barometer.

Great to see #Ziggy50 this evening. Bowie was always amazing and the last Ziggy show was historic. Rarely attend events these days but wouldn’t have missed this one.

If an independent fuel station in SW Scotland can profit from these prices then what kind of (huge) profit are all the other retailers making at the moment?

25 years after #indonesia's President #Suharto resigned, my debut novel #TheNoahPrinciple intricately fuses a real-time portrait of the late 1990s Asia Financial Crisis with a literary thriller centred around a small Financial Advisory in Jakarta. Available on #amazonbooks now.

Last week I got some surprisingly beautiful weather for a work trip to meet the @StranraerDev Trust and some of the amazing people working hard to make a post-Ferries success of Stranraer. Read about my trip by clicking the link. Thank you Stranraer! dgwgo.com/.../that-vital-spa…

I'm so lucky doing my current job. I travel across rural Dumfries & Galloway meeting amazing people. And every now & again, I come across an unexpected, brreath-takingly beautiful scene bathed in wonderful light. This scene was just outside Gatehouse of Fleet. Come visit D&G!
Farm scene just outside the small, biosphere community town of Gatehouse of Fleet. IF you're planning a trip to the Scottish Highlands, don;t forget to see the under-explored and quiet, southern Scotland county of Dumfries & Galloway, just above England's fabled Lake District. It's well worth a visit.

Greatest Hits Radio made a wise investment hiring Ken Bruce. The guy Radio2 rightfully trusted to take over the breakfast show from the legendary Wogan. Just hope Ken has the rights to take PopMaster with him. I’ve loved playing along every morning and learn so much. Bye Radio2.

Former SCCAN colleague Rachel Caplan worked on this vital documentary about Scotland's relationship with an oil industry clamouring to stay relevant in a world experiencing the painful birth pangs of a post-fossil fuel era. Catch it now on BBC iplayer. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

What a difference a weekend makes! -7'C & ultra blue skies against iced trees last week across #DumfriesandGalloway; +12'C & leaden, rain-filled skies today (Dec 19). Weather watching in this era of post-industrial, human-enhanced climate change is both fascinating & unnerving.

Liz Truss is next UK PM
Well Autumn has gotten off to a stunning start here in Southern Scotland. Saw this fallen leaf outside my office and pondered the change of season, recalling memories of childhood Autumns long ago.
