@icod When I drive my mum anywhere she constantly tells me the speed limit, which is really helpful...😬

@icod But that is the best hymn!

£20,000 needed to keep Salisbury Women's Refuge open. Please share @AnnOlivarius @jo_bartosch @jk_rowling @JournalistJill @bindelj @AudreySuffolk @BBCWomansHour @Wommando

Managed to whizz around Sarum Lights at Salisbury Cathedral last night before a very busy evening running the shop.

@icod I was only saying to a pal yesterday that the need to go from 'office to evening' has featured much less often in my life than the magazines led me to believe when I was younger...

I have this little thing that I quite enjoy annoying me, on the Marks & Spencer website, the reviews for ANY single piece of clothing someone says this

@icod Agree. I feel I am not a stupid person but find the whole pension thing really grim. I have now got a financial advisor but spend the whole time asking him to explain things to me as if I was five...

@jennyeclair Try coffee bags from Artisan Coffee - they are the only ones which really taste of proper coffee, and lots of different blends.

Can we just mention the ABOMINATION of coffee bags please -

@icod Bananas yes, banana flavoured things no.

Things you like in one format and not the other: Apricots, no apricot jam, yes Coffee, yes, coffee flavouring no

@gardener_the Yes, this sounds truly grim!

Salisbury City Council is still embroiled in a long-running debate about public toilets. One of the options sounds terrifying: 'Build a new facility with a raised stage/performance area and concession, such as a cafe or kiosk, costing between £750,000 and £1.75m'

A few pictures from the flower festival at Salisbury Cathedral.

Percy's Pilgrimage 🐈‍⬛ Percy has now returned home after a surprise trip to Canterbury! We assume he must have hopped on a coach and gone for a visit, before being found and taken to a vets to have his chip scanned. Thanks to everyone who helped us in locating him.

LOST CAT 🐈‍⬛ One of our Cathedral family has lost their cat. Percy is a five month old black, British Short Hair, last seen in the Cathedral Close on Monday morning. If you are in the area please look out for him and contact us if you see him. His family are very worried!

@icod Pylones have some quite fun butter dishes, if that's your vibe?

#codsbutterdish Thank you for this suggestion, but I will not be buying it because A) I’m not uncouth B) I would never buy lurpak

@jennyeclair Great show, Jenny - haven't laughed so much for ages. A real tonic!

Thank you Salisbury playhouse - apologies for the post nasal drip and doing the post show book signing with my jumper on inside out

These have arrived! - the finished, hardback copies of a little book I've written about the joyfully unpredictable experience of producing Father Ted. Publication is Feb 20th but I'd like to give away two copies early - RT by Saturday 6pm and my dog Watson will pick the winners.

@MammiPugh @sarajcox It's a game we've always played in my family. Never heard of anyone else doing it. Everyone has a satsuma with a birthday candle in it. They are all lit at the same time and the last one to go out is the winner. Exciting!

@HelRuss68 @sarajcox Please enlighten me, I have no clue about this game - can I Google it??!! Lol

Christmas Day rules. C’mon. We all have them. Roast spuds per person. Time you get up. Gift opening area. Games that are played. Snacks. Stocking contents. Unusual veg. Inviting people who are alone. Dog walk. FaceTime with faraway relatives. Tell all in 6 words or so please

@CherylH01416868 @SalisburyCath Thank you, Cheryl. I really enjoyed doing it. 😊

I have just had the opportunity to be guinea pig for a proposed stonecarving course at @SalisburyCath next year, and this is my effort at a green man. I'm rather pleased with him. Makes a change from running the shop...

@rickettspiano Really hope all will be well, Hazel 🙏

Not such a positive update this evening. Kitten is at the vet on a drip. She stopped wanting food much & became lethargic so I took her in. We know she is anaemic but not much more. Positive thoughts & 🙏 she makes it please....
