Last night's jolly, I mean outduty. 😃 Taking H01R1 to West workshops and bringing Langholm's on-call motor back to Dumfries. Beautiful evening for a bimble up the old road, A74. A couple of old timers there lined up with the newer stuff.

A beautiful sunny evening brings the last day of duty to an end for our trusty old Volvo.
Will the new H28P6 take one step forwards, "to your duties, fall out".

Another year done and now off for 4 days. Well, 4.5 days because it's my 50th birthday on Thursday so I've taken toil for Friday morning.
Wishing everyone in the blue light family a happy, safe and prosperous 2024.

Well mate, 17 years on, I'm sitting on your bench with a cuppa as another Nightshift draws to a close. Your picture still hangs in the mess room and you're never far away from the chat especially if it's a funny story. To my friend, colleague and mentor. Gone but never forgotten.

It's 07:26 and Green Watch are almost over the line for another 18 days. Losing a firey to promotion and a change of WC will shake things up a bit when we come back in August.

'mon the Red Watch. 🚒 When a German couple have an RTC after doing a U-turn on the station apron you just have to step up and help. Vehicle made safe, medical check up and local rogue garage owner told to dissappear after trying to recover their car without authorisation.

The demands of shift work meant an early dook in a faerie glen on the way to the station in order to get my cold water fix for the day ❄️🚒 (didn't see any faeries!)

Dayshift today, spent learning the dark art of marine VHF radio operation and procedures.
Another string to my bow as a SFRS power boat operator.

I love wee stories like this. It's too often the case that these houses are lost to the local community. Wishing you all many happy years of family and community life in your wee hoose!

The beauty of working shifts, I can pop up a wee local hill (admittedly super early o'clock) before taking my wee one to school ❤️

It's amazing what you can do before work if you wake early enough. Get up, get dressed and get out before your brain has a chance to catch up 🤣

Biking and hiking to the Devil's Bowling Green. A glacial feature in the very heart of remote Galloway. Hard to get to but worth it for the solitude.

Cheers, there was quite a bit of faffing and I'm not 100% happy with it but it's no bad. I need a proper camera and not just the phone one.

We've just returned from an absolutely amazing few days on the islands of Barra and Vatersay. We've swam, walked Traigh Shiar in a gale, travelled on the island bus and watched the recent pipe band as they played in memory of your beautiful girl you lost in Manchester. Thank you!

. A wee dook to greet the Sun, I find that a bit of Wim Hoff-ery before dayshift really sharpens you up for whatever the day might throw at you. In this case an OI and trauma input.

Sometimes we fall down in life and it can be hard to get back up without help. My ten year old daughter sent this text from her mum's phone on Facebook Messenger, (sorry X, other platforms are available 😉), and it now hangs on my morning motivation wall.❤️

Or the utter lottery of whether the cylinder connector is gonna thread first time or if you will still be there 5 minutes later pointlessly birling it around then doubting whether you're actually turning it in the right direction.
