Post a tree you photographed.

Classic eggcorn. An advert from a garden centre promising a rest bite from the recent awful weather.

Rest bite.

Qiaotou, in Zhejiang, China, produces 60% of the world's buttons and 80% of its zips. Our trouser security is in the hands of Xi Jinping.

A pie chart showing the ethnic breakdown of Monaco. Which has been colonised by immigrants.

Monaco is approximately 70% foreign nationals, so Ratcliffe doesn't mind living somewhere where there's a high proportion of immigrants as long as they're the right sort of immigrants.

Angine de Poitrine. This is right up my street. share.google/Gt6T3scIma7x...

Lesson notes: O Magnum Mysterium, fingerings for bars 25-43. Clarified harmonic in bar 41. Played at G on A string, sounds as D. Handel, Largo from Xerxes, trills in bars 33 and 85. Should both be played starting on note above. Fairly short in style of the period. #violin

Looking at those who have signed up for this Board of Peace nonsense does not reassure me that Trump takes due diligence sufficiently seriously.

Just read a book on how to end sentences with Beatles song titles.
That's two hours of my life I won't get back.

Boooooorrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnngggggggg! #davos

I'm expecting two men in white coats to escort him off the stage to a rubber room. #davos

Stealing this for my new band name. #belgianwhistles

Virginia Bottomley isn't related to Arthur Bottomley. He was Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Commonwealth Affairs and declared, on landing in Zambia, that he was delighted to be in the Gambia. Zambia radio later announced the arrival of "Arthur Commonly, the British Bottomwealth secretary".

I'm getting a bit worried about Tories turning up in unusual scenarios in the dreams I'm having. Last night it was Virginia Bottomley. For goodness sake.

Vinyl record. Anita Harris 'Somebody's in my Orchard'. Cover shows Anita looking sultry and holding a small revolver in a threatening manner. I think she may be about to confront someone who's in her orchard.

Congrats to BBC News interviewing a man called Cliff who lives on the edge of a cliff. #bbcnews

'Bowie: The Final Act' on Ch4 was very disappointing. The director would have been better to make a more in-depth 90min documentary about his last few years leading to his death and the release of 'Blackstar'. #davidbowie

No news today. Happy New Year everybody.

Day 54 of Bach pilgrimage. Cantata 91 For Christmas Day.

Yuletide felicitations to all, from everyone here at Warren Towers.

A photo of Cherie and Tony Blair sent as their own Christmas card a few years ago. Mr Blair has the look of a man who is about to punch the photographers lights out.

'Leave it Tony, he's not worth it.'

Day 53 of Bach pilgrimage. Cantata 70 For the Fourth Sunday in Advent.

You wouldn't have it the way I'm currently playing it! It can only get better though.

Fingering positions for Handel Largo 'Ombra mai fu' from Xerxes. To practise for next lesson in January. #violin

Discussion of issues regarding posture and tension in right shoulder. Arm/wrist position adjusted. Also bow hold needs some modification. Stronger grip especially with respect to thumb position at frog. #violin

79.

Overheard at Asda. An old dear in the turkey aisle.
Old dear: 'Do these turkeys get any bigger?'
Assistant: 'I'm afraid not, they're dead'.

Regarding Liz Truss fashioning new members of her Leconfield Club from menu items from Gail's, perhaps she could learn from Miranda Hart and surround herself with Vegetapals.
