Walking round Holyrood yesterday watching 4 petrol tools making a racket and stinking the place up, and thinking about ⁦E'burgh Tool Library⁩ trying to scrape together ££ for abattery mower. Leadership doesn’t always come from the top ⁦Marina Hyde⁩ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

W/ #COP26 on the horizon it's important to celebrate & amplify other voices in #Edinburgh, we are proud to stand alongside Edinburgh Remakery @lesswastelaura & @shrubcoop as orgs supporting local people to reduce their environmental footprint. #letsdonetzero @netzeroscotland

Love getting out the office to get dusty every now and again. Aren’t our #volunteers who built this #littlefreelibrary amazing?! 💪🛠

Infuriating to see Boris Johnson in a hospital without a mask on, knowing I can’t visit my Mum in a neighbouring hospital because of “strict protocols to protect patients from Covid” (only 1 named visitor - my bro who lives nearer).

So happy about this after so much work. Looking forward to seeing share and repair blossom across Scotland.

#littlefreelibrary now @ Kenilworth Dr, Liberton. Thanks Circular Communities Scotland for the funding to build these beauties for book sharing ❤️📚🛠 #edinburgh #toollibrary #sharingeconomy

“Ee-aye-ee-aye-oh”. Thanks @MusicBroth for providing this little guy with so much pleasure and filling our house with music. What an amazing gift #sharing is.

Dear Amazon.co.uk our stairwell is not your depot. Please stop storing your bags here. The residents own the stairwell but don’t store things as it’s a fire risk. What makes it ok for you to?

Listening to @laurenlaverne on BBC Radio 6 Music this morning while eating our toast and my 2 year old Sid Sid suddenly stands up in his seat and pronounces “This is jaaaaaam hot!” Loving the positive influence on him from good music

Loved my training with Gig Buddies with Thera Trust this morning & can’t wait to get started, helping make music & the arts more accessible to people w/ learning disabilities. Now off to Barrowland Ballroom to enjoy The Saw Doctors with half of #shetland. V musical Saturday

Join our board of Trustees! 📯 A brilliant volunteering opportunity for someone with previous board experience and a passion for everything ETL - mailchi.mp/edinburghtooll…

Excited to share this great opportunity to work with us!!!

Sergio Mendes on @laurenlaverne BBC Radio 6 Music could not feel more appropriate this morning with this little Brazil fan.

Terrible first experience going through Edinburgh Airport with my family (2adults, 3yr old & 5 month old). Families were treated with respect and welcomed in Greece, made to wait longer than anyone else here. What’s wrong with a family lane? No crying babies adding to the frustration
