Pre match events at Murrayfield Stadium preceding France v Scotland Six Nations rugby match. Both teams are on the pitch, along with marching bands. Shots of flame are sent skyward as the anthems are completed.

Me, my mate, and the Scottish rugby mascot (a highland coo) pictured outside Murrayfield Stadium before the Scotland v France Six Nations match.

Something I've always wanted to do - a Six Nations match at Murrayfield. We were supporting the home team and they played a blinder to beat the French!

Five bottles of whisky including Basil Hayden, Macallan 12, Sazarac Rue, Talisker 10, and an Ardberg 5. In front are three of the five chocolate types to be paired with the whiskies.

This evening's Whisky Club included chocolate pairings. The Talisker and Malteser combination was my favorite.

Big Tech companies say AI will help solve climate change. Environmental groups call that 'greenwashing' AI giants including Google and Microsoft have sometimes touted climate benefits that aren't backed up by academic evidence, a new report says.

Claims about AI having climate benefits often lack scientific evidence, a new report finds. And when touting the climate benefits of AI, tech companies conflate “traditional AI” with generative AI, a form of “bait-and-switch” that amounts to greenwashing www.fastcompany.com/91493873/big...

To the right, a bright yellow-and-white lifeguard tower sits among trees. The turquoise ocean waves roll onto the shore, and in the far distance, a forested headland meets the sea.

A view from today's walk. The Gold Coast is a beautiful part of the world.

Was 2025 Oscar Piastri’s best chance at an F1 title or a prelude to glory? | Jack Snape The young Australian is a gifted driver racing in an exceptional car, but was prone to error this season and in 2026 will face new adversity Tumbling from the Formula One precipice, ultimately Oscar Piastri was not the first Australian in 40 years to be crowned world champion. The man from Melbourne finished a narrow third in the driver standings this year behind his McLaren teammate Lando Norris and four-time champion Max Verstappen. Now, he is back to square one. Midway through the season Piastri lead Norris by a comfortable 34 points and Verstappen by a chasm. But a run of six rounds without a podium left him on the outside looking in, and by the end at Abu Dhabi he finished 13 points behind his teammate. Continue reading...

Feeling uplifted by the fortune cookie I received today. #inspiration

Wallabies fans are entitled to be frustrated but it’s not all grim for this tired, talented side There were enough sparks and signs of intent in Europe to suggest Australia are a team at the beginning of something, not the end At the end of a frenetic first half, where Angus Bell ran in one of the great tries by a Wallaby prop, where Matt Faessler powered over for a brace, where Louis Bielle-Biarrey scored a solo stunner and Thomas Ramos and Nicolas Depoortère dotted down as well, Tane Edmed gathered a pass at first receiver. The young fly-half, playing in his seventh Test, was having a decent game. He’d slotted two of his three shots at goal. He was brave to the line, carrying with zip, stitching moves together as he tried to spark a backline short on fluency. But with the clock in the red, he attempted a raking kick to the corner. Either he didn’t realise the 40 minutes had elapsed, or he thought he was in his own half and a 50-22 was on. Either way, after watching the ball skid into touch to end the half, he stood still, hands on head, stunned by his own misread. Continue reading...

Nice to see Wales come through with the win. Now time for the Wallabies v Ireland. A big test for the team.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
