IME "path repairs" too often means making steps which are more difficult to descend than the path that was there before unless you have exactly the same agility as the (generally young and fit) path builders.

Depressing how often this happens. The path down off Cairngorm towards the cafe is a prime example.

This is what puts me off.

Runar Bjørhovde, an analyst at Canalys, said return rates of foldables are 5-10 percent, far higher than traditional smartphones and a deterrent to repeat purchases.

A phone costing me four digits with that high a return rate. Nope.

And not a word on the dualling of the A96 from Inverness to Nairn. Sigh.

Anti-abortion, anti-GRR, anti-independence. The SNP is well shot of her.

SNP councillor, not minister.
