The people with whom I’ll be discussing the rain over the next week or so: 1. Family members Including frequently asking family members in other parts of the country “is it raining where you are?” 2. Colleagues Being especially sure to ask “still raining?” when a colleague appears next to me absolutely drenched. It will also be the main topic of small talk to begin every video call 3. My neighbour We shall roll our eyes, tut and say “lovely weather haha!”, both glad to have an excuse to dash inside our respective houses without looking rude 4. The supermarket checkout assistant They will ask me if it’s still raining out there and I will say “yes, it’s terrible, isn’t it?” 5. Social media I will describe the weather and someone on social media will get upset because the weather where I am isn’t exactly the same as where they are 6. The cat/dog I will say “oh you’re soaked!” and they won’t understand me 7. Myself I will stand and stare out of the window, hand on hip, other hand holding a mug, and occasionally mutter “really coming down now”

Watched this a few more times today. Former Royal protection officer Richard Griffin with the best memory of the Queen meeting some American tourists…

A huge thank you to all the staff at @dustonschool who have supported our son Jamie for the past 7 years, culminating in his fantastic A level results today. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication - you are all amazing!

Seen on FB, This weekend at @lochlomondshore this wee brave girl did her dance and I am here for all her achievements - she fell down and got up again so quickly and carried on. A life lesson for us all, I don’t know her name so I can’t credit her in the Lomond Shores video ❤️❤️

@JaneyGodley @lochlomondshore This guy tried twice.

This is the most NHS thing I’ve ever read in my life

When the pilot tells you that he needed to avoid a 🦄 and you dont believe him! Always believe the pilot #unicorns #Believe

@RevRichardColes I thought you were talking Cluedo for a minute….Reverend Coles in the Conservatory with a potted plant 🪴 😂

@YorkshireTea Sounds like you need a group of indomitable heroes to mount a daring rescue. The kind of people who face down danger on a dialy basis without fear or hesitation and can still manage a smile at the end of a day. Can I suggest recruiting from any NHS hospital or ambulance depot

@NevilleGaunt @rachelburden @YP2Grow I’ll try anything once! Thank you - @YP2Grow looks really interesting work- I’ll be following you shortly!

@Curly_JK @rachelburden @YP2Grow I play it to students during my talks… They start laughing… the they see the serious side. Perhaps this will help your 17 year old too youtu.be/WMS8DbhCTNs

I’m thinking it’s not ok for teenage son to leave his bed like this in the morning. Husband says he never made his bed at that age (or indeed any age). Hmm 🤔

@NevilleGaunt @rachelburden @YP2Grow Brilliant video and one I will be sharing with my 17 year old this evening - shame I didn’t have it in time for his older siblings but better late than never! 😂

@rachelburden It’s the first thing they teach you in the armed forces… to make your bed every morning. Why’s that is explained here youtu.be/3sK3wJAxGfs If you want success, start simply. And then @YP2Grow makes sense

@themayfairsomm I can think of worse ways to go

Public holidays do bring out the stupid people that think they’re funny showing off opening sparkling wine... If COVID doesn’t get you bolly and krug will 🙄 #EasterSunday #champagne #sparklingwine

@themayfairsomm Just goes to show that even a sommelier is human.

In the yonder years of themayfairsommelier, I once dropped a 2001 #moutonrothschild and it still haunts me #bordeaux #mistake #sommelier #london

Thank you Jamie👏🏼🍇

@bowelcancerman @sarah_wymer 😢Please be comforted in knowing that Patrick touched the lives of so many on here, through his willingness to share his experience with raw emotion and honesty. I feel extremely privileged to have shared in his courageous battle. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time

This is Sarah, Patrick’s wife: Patrick died last night at Marie Curie Hospice, Penarth. He declined rapidly this week and died peacefully with his family at his side. Thank you for the support you have shown Patrick and our family @sarah_wymer

@bowelcancerman @UnsungheroMark The truth is not even terminally ill people know when they’re going to die. My friend died 6 months to the day following diagnosis and was actually expected to survive longer. What you actually need is money in the early days when you’re well enough to enjoy it.

Please read the attached article and RT to help @UnsungheroMark in his campaign to scrap unfair benefit rules for terminally ill people. And follow him too! Thanks
