I admit it 😜 on what was a busy day i fell for the @flightradar24 #concorde gag yesterday. Realised it only after clocking the mach reading. I was so looking forward to tracking a supersonic jet long haul and downloading the CSV log output. .

Pleased to join @NHSGrampian staff for delicious & authentic Eid ul Fitr lunch yesterday, showing solidarity w/ our Muslim colleagues & sharing their joy as they celebrate the end of another Ramadhan. A great event promoting equality & tearing down barriers @HSCAberdeen @STVNews.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

Enjoyed the 1st ever @ScotTargetShoot para event w/ #visuallyimpaired acoustic rifle #shooting in #Edinburgh last weekend inc benchrest & prone. The gold medal was a pleasant surprise. Thanks so much to staff and coaches and can't wait for the next one.

Delighted to join C-PICTURE project colleagues from @dundeeuni and @aberdeenuni to present on the benefits of public and patient partner involvement based on my own lived experience at the @HWLGroup PPIE conference in Glasgow. Thanks to all for some thought-provoking pitches too.

Thisvweek 5 drivers licensed by @bradfordmdc cancelled multiple taxi bookings over 2 days only after learning i am registered #blind and requested sighted guidance. Same MO each time and within 2 mins of pickup. Is this just a culture of #discrimination or poor training?.

Delighted to join the @bbcdebatenight live audience in #Aberdeen for last night's show and contribute to the conversation on equity and the welfare state. I was one of at least 2 #visuallyimpaired people there. Great experience and thought provoking. Thanks.

Very disappointing that despite the accessibility AI is supposed to offer, there is no way for a visually impaired person to sign up to @deepseek_ai on Android due to no audio verification option, only a visual match. W/o cited assistance registration is therefore impossible.

Cannot thank @NHSGrampian staff at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary out patient eye department enough for the fantastic service and treatment received during my eye surgery earlier. I felt in the best of hands throughout and will be adding a comment on CareOpinion to match. Brilliant!.

Pleased to accept the invite to the civic reception at the Town House yesterday to celebrate @ABZ_Airport 90th anniversary. As cochair of the airport's accessibility forum I also congratulate all staff for their fantastic work & partnership in enhancing access & inclusion for all.

Proud to be part of the @NHSGrampian @R4R2024 team taking part in this year's step challenge in aid of organ donation. The challenge runs until 29 September. Every step counts, no matter your fitness level. Join Or keep track at

Grateful to be recommended for laser surgery to correct PCO in both eyes. When depends on @NHSGrampian waiting lists. Should make my vision brighter and give me a bit longer w/ some limited but useful eyesight for some tasks e.g. orientation and location awareness.

Brilliant reporting @PressJournal and thanks for your time and interest: The Blind Aberdeen Rifleman Who Beats Sighted Shooters.

We have comfort food, so is there such a thing as comfort tech? Still battling migraine from yesterday so ensconced in a dark corner setting up my new @SamsungUK #GalaxyWatchUltra. Love it so far. I obviously make a very bad 'do nothing' patient.

So true, there is nowhere near enough awareness of #chronicpain and its impact. Just because we continue to live, work and smile doesn't mean we are in any less agony. BBC News - Kirsty Young reveals 'loneliness' of chronic pain.

Thanks to @SightScotland for the chance to visit @ThePleasance to discuss #accessibility for visually impaired guests and test drive the audio description for the show "Stuffed". Lots of hopefully useful points to feedback.

Thoroughly enjoyed Here You Come Again, the new Dolly Parton musical @APAWhatsOn inc lunch at The Terrace restaurant. Audio description via @Sennheiser mobileconnect worked perfectly and it was great to use my own comfy headphones for the 1st time. Thanks to staff for everything.

This is disgusting and there should be no place for this sort of behavior in our Society. Peaceful protest is one thing but acts deliberately designed to injure innocent people passing by is intolerable.

For those asking re @Visa Olympic & Paralympic badges I've posted, they're a promo w/ virtual prizes for using @GooglePay. I'm not involved in any of these activities. The only sports I do are rifle shooting regularly and very rarely tandem biking though I wish it was more often.

Hi @johnpringdns your book The Department due on 20/8 will be of Keen interest to disable ppl, esp. on benefits. Yet I'm shocked to find no record of availability as an audiobook so blind or partially cited people like me can enjoy the same access. Can you advise if this is true?.

Delighted to join @InclusionScot in #Aberdeen to discuss #OurPriorities and the issues most important to #disabled people locally and nationally. Could only stay for half a day but looking forward to seeing the follow-up and what happens next.
