Latest charity shop haul to keep dad busy & out of trouble! #OutOfControlOctogenarian #CharityShopHaul
Look @portybelle theyβre all in English! Took my specs this time! π€π
Hopefully heβll love @Helen_Fields writing as much as I do.
@Edinburgh_CC my 85 yo dad hasnβt had his grey bin emptied since 19/5, the collector missed his bin on 2/6. Itβs been reported twice and still not emptied. He is now having to store waste in his house, this is not acceptable. Next collection due in 2 days π§΅
Charity shop haul, Β£1 each. Trying to keep dad occupied whilst in hospital - heβs getting through a book a day. Thanks @portybelle for pointing out that the @DouglasSkelton1 was in German! π€¦ββοΈ I told dad and heβs up for the challenge as he studied German at school 70 years ago.
These are the only books Iβve seen recently, on the back of the door to my dads hospital ward. Itβs been a crazy time. I think my family have broken Edinburgh Council carers policy by me being an autistic double carer. Yes - autistic people CAN be carers, yes we DO have empathy.
Brilliant series from the equally brilliant β¦@carolewyerβ©
Readers, you can thank me later! amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B9CKMSFW/rβ¦
Not watching TV today, instead Iβm off to pick up my new automatic car π
God save my arthritic knees & knackered ankles!
#BookTwitter made me do it! Well, it was really my lack of self control but Iβm blaming @portybelle and @FranMcBookface π€£

Iβve often wondered about the story of The White Lady of Corstorphine, although Iβm sure my Dad told me many years ago but being βtoo cool for old dad tales teenβ I probably didnβt listen! Great review Joanne - another for my ever growing list for when I get my reading mojo back.

Iβd like to say the biggest thank you to Elizabeth and her colleague at @buildabear Ocean Terminal for the outstanding service & kindness we received today. They both went above and beyond to help my daughter. Thank you πππΌ π»
Perhaps they should have gone with βCap in Handβ or βThrow The βRβ Awayβ οΏΌ
οΏΌTheyβre already borrowing our stone (theyβd better give it back!) but happy to see theyβll need to come to Edinburgh to be presented with the Honours of Scotland π π

I started this a few nights ago and absolutely love it. Iβm struggling with reading just now due to ASD burnout but the amazing @carolewyer has got me hooked. Sofa & book day for me today! Thank you Carol for my copy and so sorry I couldnβt manage the tour π
I promise not to bombard you with posts about it (partly because I have no internet π¬ ) but today is publication day for A Truth for a Truth
I'm so excited to hear what you think of it

Fascinating tweet on the history of Ramsay Garden in Edinburgh.
I didnβt know that in 1725, Allan Ramsay opened Scotlandβs first circulating library.
