Well, it's jolly chilly in the precentory, and it's not even properly cold outside yet. Time for a nice cheery picture of the Revd Dr, with my assistance dog lottie, and my special needs degu, digory. @RichardJFrith

Deck the halls with boughs of holly Fa la la la la, la la la la, 'Tis the season to be jolly Fa la la la la, la la la la ....

Brianna Ghey. Say her name. And use her pronouns. Thinking of all young trans people and their families.

A trip to beautiful Oxford with @RichardJFrith and AD lottie

Well, that was a day. Started by falling then running myself over with my own wheelchair. Rescued by server and two lay clerks. Then did a bible reading live on BBC 1 that went surprisingly well, considering sprained ankle and assorted injuries. Proud of all at Southwell Minster

Making flowers

Must I say it? “Strange women wielding swords is no basis for a system of government.”

AD lottie has taken to sitting on my stairlft. @RichardJFrith

The fruit of much labour, worth every second for our good friends Jonathan Allsopp and jess. Congratulations (and the question I have been asked 50 times, yes, all made of sugar paste, all edible bar the wires!)

Apparently this is called a “Screaming Party”.

A lovely 5 days back at SMM at Sheldon Happy to report the swifts are still screaming! A pair of green woodpeckers cackled all day, a baby owl squeaked at night. The bunnies went lippity, lippity in search of the best grass and the buzzards mewed high above. Active peace.

Removing twitter from hone screen because of the b&w X logo. It just feels too much like Elon Musk scent-marking my phone, and I feel surprisingly violated. I prefer Elon musk to stay where I can ignore him.

When stuck in a jam on the A1, it is lovely to hear a friend's voice on the radio! Kate Loveman talking on PM about detective work she's done to put a name to the first witness of the great fire of London - #thomasdagger went on to have a successful baking career after the fire.
