According to my iphone, my step count today was over 22'000!!! (And apparently my average for the year is over 15'000 per day). My flabber is utterly ghasted. I have always thought of myself as elegantly sedentary. This is plainly not the case...

👀 !!!

This is a photo of my Nan (circa 1947). I'd never seen it before being sent it today. Wasn't she beautiful?

A young person just offered me a seat on the tube. Brutal.

Time for my quarterly shearing... #Haircut

Get bunting out and ring the bells The day of days is here! The Mothership's BIG birthday - Let's give a hearty cheer! So read this post and just relax, No need to hold your breath - For no age has been mentioned As agreed - on pain of death. PS. Your son loves you very much. X

The birthday weekend seemed to go well...

EXCLUSIVE: The Ilya Naishuller-directed action movie ‘Heads of State’ has clocked in north of 75 million worldwide Prime Video viewers since its July 2 launch, we can tell you first. That makes it the fourth most-watched Amazon MGM Studios film of all-time on Amazon’s OTT

Flippin’ ‘eck! #HeadsofState

London Bridge at 8.30 this morning... The Thames is looking far prettier than me. (Well, it was 8.30 in the morning...)

Ahhhh, Facebook just shared this 'memory' from four years ago today. How I miss this little bundle of affection and fur. (Incidentally, that photo marked the first time I'd managed to get back to see my family in almost two years because of the pandemic!) #Scrumpy

No, it's no good. I'm sure they are good for the environment, but I simply cannot get on with paper straws. I'm sorry, Twitter Chums, but there it is. They are most vexing.

Oh, balls...

That's more like it

When I got the govt emergency thingy on my phone today I was just on my way to the local shop to get milk & tea bags - and kept walking there before I even clocked it was only a test. Is that what's known as British sangfroid? PS. Surely running out of tea bags is an emergency

So... I went to see 'Military Wives The Musical' last night York Theatre Royal. Twitter Chums, it is flippin' brilliant! It's funny, it's moving, it's perfectly performed. Get to see it if you can! Debbie Isitt has done it again.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, darling Nan. Not a day goes by when I don't think of you. Know you are still loved and remembered. And whenever I remember you - I smile. Which is appropriate, as you had the loveliest smile. Love you, 'Jimbobs' X

I woke this morning to find there were only two teabags left in the flat. This must never happen again. #NearMiss

Exactly two years ago on a (very) rainy night in Manchester we opened this beauty. #IShouldBeSoLucky

Merry Birthday to my darling chum and habitual dance partner, Jemma Churchill. You are an enormously talented and genuinely splendid human being. Bless you, my child... X
