Did this exact thing last night after forgetting to compensate for the age of the last slice.

Can't actually believe there are people who would throw the toast away

'I'd go with the peach, Mavis. That lilac washes you right out'

My auntie Jean was scared as a child by a black-clad fat man she found floating in her grandfather's swimming pool and it was Nye Bevan

These British #Gladiators names are wild.

This was on BBC 4 Weds and is now on iPlayer. Didn't watch it on release in 1992 - was not the right age, probably. But now I am, and it's brilliant

Recommended. Whether or not you've read the book.

I'm so thrilled that my tweets are gaining traction with young women across the globe, even though they're so busy they don't have time to put a jumper on over their vests

Who knew they'd be so interested in my views on the Prayer Book, German cakes or library books?

Still at the trad place in the Black Forest

As with previous stays, it took me till day 3 (yesterday) to brave the huge sauna area, strictly Textilfrei

And again, 5 minutes later I'm on my own in a hot outdoor whirlpool, wondering what took me so long

This is great. (As great as The Repair Shop could be if they cut out the dead relatives' sob stories and just showed you expert craftspeople making and mending things)

Well, if I watch anything better than this in the year to come, I will be very lucky, and also surprised

Highly recommended

Public service announcement for any Twitmates who want something quirky/ funny/ tense/ excellent to watch

Pren Ar Y Bryn on S4C (ad free via iPlayer). Welsh with subs.

English version coming this year apparently, but don't wait for that. I want to know what you think!

This evening's cultural triumph. Listening to an operetta playlist (because it's NYE)

Track starts.4 seconds in, I say 'Harry Secombe'

And, lo it is

I am officially 143 years old

(Saw him as Pickwick in the 70s. Blame my ancient parents)

People treating a hotel breakfast buffet like a round of Jeux Sans Frontières, in which you are permitted to make one journey only

Worst I've seen was a plate where the bacon was swimming in a pool of strawberry yogurt.

Thank you, lovely Twitmates, for the messages you sent after I posted about the death of the StovesEyes dog on Saturday

Naturally, we are still sad, but we consoled ourselves today by booking a trip that we couldn't have made if she was still here

And so life goes on....

♥️♥️
