#BarryJohn My dad’s hero. They grew up together. He painted this in tribute to the last time they chatted together on the bus. RIP to a sporting legend. #BarryJohn TheKing

Word of the Day (because it’s about time) is ‘respair’, from the 16th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. One of too many lost positives we could do with bringing back.

Wishing everyone a gruntled, gormful, ruthful and feckful New Year, full of respair.

Overheard in the corridor: ‘Allll the people’ I’m getting into blur mate. So much better than Oasis. Even now.

The youth know. #teacherlife

2 tickets to #macbeththeshow at #liverpool tonight up for grabs. £20 each face value. Make me an offer - just don’t want them going to waste! #tickets

Wow 🤩

So David Cameron is to sit in the House of Lords ('taking back control from unelected officials anyone?') in order to be Foreign Secretary - which means he won't be able to be questioned by MPs in the chamber over foreign policy. Doesn't seem very 21st century.

It’s a masterpiece. A thing of beauty. Thank you Mike Garry. Just the tonic in our fragile world. 🙏🏻 ❤️ #poetrylovers #handwrittenmiracles

Can we all stop battering each other
Please
Can we all stop threatening each other

Can we all stop flexing our muscles
Please
And just chill the fuck out
Please

“I see quite clearly that all good things must come to an end. The summer has been splendid, but it has lasted long enough. This morning I welcomed the chill in the air and viewed the falling leaves with cheerfulness.” ~A.A.Milne #Autumn #Autumn Equinox 🍁
