Thank you to the assistant in @johnlewisretail #nottingham on Friday afternoon who came out of her station as I couldn’t make myself heard, and got me a glass of water so I could take my pills

Thanks to all who have supported me recently with likes and follows. Appreciated

Disaster coming home, struggling to walk up road. A neighbour came, gave me her arm. But I was so worn out, sat down on kerb. She commandeered two lads walking on road who each gave me an arm. two lads are @NFFC players. Just out for a walk before tonight’s U21 match. ❤️#thanks

Thanks. But my lymphoma is so far, very “indolent”. Reasonable chance I will die with it and not of it. Going for my next three monthly blood check and session with excellent haematologist on Thursday. Thanks for your good wishes ❤️

Just had a Covid booster. Not old enough to qualify automatically, my lymphoma makes me officially vulnerable. #thanksNHS

I keep my @EastMidRailway “I have a speech impediment” card by the front door to show to callers who are not known to me. The bloke this morning peered at it, then said: what does it say? I can’t read it without my glasses..#stalemate 😂

*managed to say: I have trouble speaking

This is Labour’s poll tax. Its tuition fees. It is - as Iraq was for Blair - the moral stain that will mark Starmer’s government and the party for years to come. Severely disabled people are going to be starved, isolated and degraded. No Labour MP who backs this will be forgiven.

Met some old friends for lunch at @BarnBerryfields today. Superb food, highly recommended

On welfare cuts, the SDLP asks Keir Starmer “What was the point of getting rid of the Tories if Labour are going to do this?” #PMQs

The Americans would be speaking English today, rather than American, if the French had not come to their aid in 1770s

Bought tickets from your website @scot for a short trip to Glasgow Central. Very disappointed that you expect me to collect paper tickets from a machine. Why not e- tickets? #askingforafriend

On the train today, a middle aged man was mansplaining to a woman that “climate change doesn’t exist “. When he told her that the “ozone layer healed itself” my wife interrupted, told him a few facts. Politely explaining basic science; woman said thanks when she left train

With the outrageous arrest of Khalil in the USA this week, am wondering if is time to rewatch the 2007 film The Visitor, which starred Richard Jenkins.

I am still haunted by the closing scene.

What a wonderful experience seeing (the) Woman at @NottmPlayhouse.bsky.social this evening, thank you @NPtheatre.bsky.social, the actors, and above all, my friend Jane Upton who wrote this play. A lot to think about ❤️

Must admit to be slightly disappointed when driving home today past the Tesla showrooms in WB not not to see an anti Musk demo going on

Went to Berlin last weekend. Very grateful for helpful staff at Mobility Assistance at @berlinairport who helped me navigate bag drop, security, passport control and board the plane. My first time using this, very happy. Also grateful for help in passport control when we arrived

Last Aug, for personal reasons un related to coffee, I had to stop my subscription to @roastinghouse.bsky.social pleased to say that I have now resumed being their oldest customer

An we think Trump’s people are sycophantic , DEFRA “understood to have made representations to Downing Street that beavers could be part of Labour’s growth mission, as the rodents work for free to build infrastructure and restore nature.’

sorry to miss your “return “ but not able to come this week. you will be great💪❤️

I believe that everyone who lives in “Nottingham” knows where it is - the area served by the historical routes of the “corporation bus”. Steve Calvert has written a longer article which gives wider perspective on why Nottingham should be Nottingham.

based on our experience, probably not. we left them years ago, but my wife had to deal with them as executor for her mother’s estate. not a happy experience. good luck

The return of the Mechanical Turk?

But I am sure I took my children to see England play Belgium about 1990. Or don’t you count women’s football? #sigh

Tonight a new series of #Unforgotten starts. Very much looking forward to this.
