New year, no reset.A short essay on continuation, constraint, and why ‘fresh starts’ don’t work for everyone.‘For me, and for many, the work is not in beginning again but in continuing. Continuation is far less aesthetic than renewal, harder to commodify, and it doesn't lend itself well to announcements, before and after photos, or public commitments. But it is honest.’https://kristiedegaris.substack.com/p/on-not-beginning-again#Scotland #Writing #WritingCommunity #Reading #Books #Disability #UK #NewYear

The "Auld Lang Syne" song lyrics are derived from a poem by Robert Burns (1759–1796). The song reflects upon old friendships that have stood the test of time, and begins with a rhetorical question, "Should old acquaintance be forgot?" “Should auld acquaintance be forgot,and never brought to mind?Should auld acquaintance be forgot,and auld lang syne?”“Auld Lang Syne” is literally “Old long since..” or more in more modern speech: “…times gone by.”#happynewyear #oldlangsyne #scotland

#Scotland is beautiful even in grey weather (fortunately!)

Scotland has some strange and spooky places, but few were - until its clearance of offerings - stranger or spookier than the Clootie Well on the Black Isle north of Inverness, which had become a rather weird remnant of an ancient tradition.

THREAD 1/ As the year wraps up, I want to take a moment to thank you all for the support you’ve given my book Drystone - A Life Rebuilt. Publishers publish books, but it’s readers who make them live. And thanks to you, Drystone is out there quietly living.#Reading #Readers #Writing #WritingCommunity #Scotland #Books #ThankYou #Book

An amusing, and presumably temporary, addition to Paul Raphael Montford's statue of Philosophy on the Kelvin Way Bridge in Glasgow. I guess it makes a change from a road cone!#glasgow #sculpture #kelvinway #glasgowhumour #scotland

Meine erste Reise nach Schottland (2011) führte mich auch hier hin: Dunadd Fort, Lochgilphead. Ganz in der Nähe lohnt sich der Besuch vom Kilmartin Museum, die auch ein wirklich schönes Buch herausgebracht haben.My first trip to Scotland (2011) also took me here: Dunadd Fort, Lochgilphead.
