Finished reading this a couple of weeks ago. It’s an absolutely wonderful book - a moving and beautifully written story about a character that definitely deserved to have her own story told!

That’s not a lab… looks like a border collie to me 😂

Perfect 😂

Amazing result - congratulations!!

Ordered! Can’t wait to see how Charlotte continued to manage her marriage with Mr Collins.

A lady similarly offered me her seat on the tube today. I have never felt so inspired by and simultaneously depressed by a simple act of kindness from a stranger.

Absolutely phenomenal performance of The Fifth Step with Martin Freeman and Jack Lowden (at Soho Place Theatre)! Well worth seeing, if you can.

Completely agree… Eurovision banned Russia following their invasion of Ukraine. Why are they not banning Israel for the genocide in Gaza?

They did really well. I know it wasn’t a traditionally popular Eurovision song but I can’t believe that it scored 0 points in the public vote.

Thank you Graham Norton for saying what lots of people were thinking @eurovision

Let me get this gay… absolute perfection!

Those moments of positivity are so important - I’m glad you found one when you needed it.

Why is mainstream media not calling this out for the delusional insanity that it is?

A scene from the film Miss Congeniality in which a contestant replies to the question about her perfect date - "April 25th, because it's not too hot or too cold, all you need is a light jacket".

Happy Light Jacket Day 🧥

What a brilliant drawing - it completely captures the show! We saw it a couple of days ago and it was absolutely fantastic. I’m having a good chuckle as each character in the drawing brings back a comedic moment from the production!

Absolutely cracking evening watching @marcusbrig.bsky.social in Oxford (Vitruvian Mango show). Very heartfelt and thought-provoking - and absolutely hilarious throughout! I thoroughly recommend going to see it.

How on earth have we got to the point where some people think that posters teaching children about tolerance, respect and equality might “create division or controversy”? As a teacher myself, I find this unfathomable.

Well said!

I couldn’t agree more

This is just lovely! I also love watching it - pure joy in others’ success and achievement.

Awaiting, with baited breath, to find out if you manage to learn what the man with the orange hat was reading! I have never been more invested in one of these ‘Stranger on the train…’ stories.

Great to see her having the confidence to express a bit of cheekiness!

Thank you for speaking up. I wish I could have heard the full poem. You have such a gift for being able to use humour to highlight serious issues that need to be addressed.

As always, beautifully said (as indeed was the incredibly moving sermon by Bishop Mariann Budde). Heartbreaking to see the entirely predictable response to it.

It’s hard to believe that Trump wasn’t the person doing the most repulsive thing that we saw today.

This is brilliant. Thank you for introducing me to her poetry (book already ordered!).

Thank you for bringing so much joy, empathy and compassion back into what has become a somewhat bleak political landscape. Now, more than ever, we need leaders who model and live these values.

Keeping everything crossed for you, Alba!
