Friday Night Hing Oot

20/09/2024

🪩 CALLIN AW HINGER OOTERS! 🪩
Join us live at 9pm(ish) for oor Friday Night Hing Oot!

I'm scared tae say it and I really hope Ringliggate isnae listening and thinking 'challenge accepted', but wi half an hour tae go and nae emergencies or call oots, it looks like we are good tae go for the Friday Night Hing Oot the night!

Join us live at 9pm (ish... very ish) for a catch up if we can remember any of the blur that has been the last two weeks, and we have a very special debut appearance fae a certain Gentleman Scrappy! He's in hair and make up noo (maistly hair).

We'll try and dae that Q&A we missed last time, so if you've got any questions aboot anything, let us know. Hannah did some 'get tae know Cap'n and Quartermaster Kerry' type ones last time, so we'll see if we can dig them oot, in the event that anyb'dy is interested in oor favourite flavour of crisps and sh*te like that (answer: aw the crisps, aw the flavours)

See you at 9-ish-(very-ish)!

During the night I thought maybe oor darlin stoic auld lady was getting closer tae telling me it's time. And she is, of course, things will only go one way, and each moment is a step further along the path, and might be the first of the last
.. but this morning...

that puppy spirit is still in there, still bringing a tired but determined auld body tae life, still sparkling in an auld lady's eyes

So long as there are TOYS!!!! tae be enjoyed, hey darlin girl

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Oor bit on The Scotland Channel airs at midnight tonight! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Watch here: https://www.thescotlandchannel.tv/

Thank you so much Peter and Bobbie for including us on their new channel made in Scotland, for Scotland. I love oor wee country and I always knew that whitever I did in life I'd dae it here...
..and that 'whitever I did' turned oot tae be taking the news 'You've got six weeks tae live' the day before my 34th birthday and then my best friend Maggie dying alone a few months later, and somehow turning it intae my wee sanctuary for 400 happy souls.

There's another way, in life and in death. Join us this evening for a wee look at oor wee world between worlds :)

Airs on The Scotland Channel from Midnight tonight: A heartwarming and inspiring film about how the world's very first animal hospice was born from the loss of a much-loved rescue dog who had been by the side of the founder during her own fight for life. https://www.thescotlandchannel.tv/
