Thankyou, I agree. I also miss sub editors.

Open to being told that I need to learn my own language here, but the 'hundreds of fewer beds' is itching my brain and doesn't feel right?

BBC Sport website from just before 7. Pairs Free Dance. Not sure what else they are showing this week

Lots of lovely Figure Skating going on in Sheffield for those of a winter sport persuasion. Winter Olympics next month is raising interest, as is, er, some Canadian TV show.

Survival of the nicest would be a good rule.

No person thou hast loved ys evir trulye lost as long as thou love them still. No place that ys gone ys evir trulye gone as long as thou hast it yn thyne herte. These are the maner of thinges Ich ponder when Dante doth dryve too faste yn the rented Hyundai Ioniq. He hath just put on "Two Princes."

At this point my body viscerally rejects being anywhere near anyone who doesn’t care what’s going on in the world

Walking, reading, writing & Quinn. Making medium term plans so I have things to look forward to is a big one for me. Actually speaking to people is really affirming. I think the 'this is not ok/there's precious little I can do about it' is pushing people's lockdown scars too, 'in it together' or no.

Mayfair yesterday, Southampton today. Guess where I heard 'Costa' being pronounced 'coaster'.

I saw this earlier, cursed the algorithm and thought of you, possibly not in that order xx

Bassoon. Just because.

Here's to absent friends (I'm here on my own tonight so you all are), but special mention to the man in Krakow I spoke to for work earlier who after a pause told me 'you said that really nicely'. Not sure why it struck me quite so hard but it was a lovely compliment and I'm still smiling.

Not all heroes wear capes. You got this x

One too many drunk texts received already.

Now with alt image description:

High five! Xx

I found a bag of maltesers under a cushion though so that is helping the tidyup immeasurably.

I've been away working in a non-tinselly environment over Christmas so walking back into my lounge and it being very Christmassy but already feeling outdated is quite the trip.

And putting pineapple on pizza. Hard no.

I found this unexpectedly funny 🙈

Hahahaha

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Ah, the Fratton End special. The crowd practically collectively suck in the final seconds goal. I miss my season ticket 😆

That sounds lovely x

So true, also an excellent after dinner game to think of more (then make sure via Google that they aren't real - you'd be surprised). Suggest Trefuckery, Trenighy and Trewerthersoriginal as starters.
