@MooseAllain Son was recently whizzing on the LNER past our closest level crossing. No chance of seeing each other, so I waved at the train. He filmed. He slowed it down. Me. Made our day

@buntyhoven Randomly I want to pop by to say hello and bye. You don’t know me. But I’ve followed you on here for ages. I’m deleting Twitter. But it’s people like you that made me stay as long as I did. Thanks x

My new years treat to me is deleting ‘Twitter’ I joined it for joy and humour. It mostly makes me angry and disappointed. So off I pop. So long and thanks for all the fish

I’m sure there’s a witty comment to be said about this poor fella

@AdamCSharp For our family, if you’re about to take a nap you say “I’m just going to charge my phone”

In Danish, if you’re about to go take a nap you could say jeg tager lige en morfar. It means “I’m just grabbing a granddad”

I can’t concentrate on work today because offspring has their viva tomorrow. The culmination of 4 years of resilience and strength and sleep deprivation. Big up to all phd students. You are awesome @ThePhDPlace

@AdamCSharp With our family we just make a quiet buzzing sound. Which leads to flies being checked

Ways of saying "your zipper is open" from five languages... 5. Your post office is open (Hindi) 4. The fairground is open (Danish) 3. The window to society is open (Japanese) 2. The Gate of Heavenly Peace is open (Chinese) 1. The pharmacy is open, and the doctor asleep (Spanish)

@JoDoleman I’m being bombarded by the posts, make it stoppppppp

BRB just drinking olive oil for 30 days because Twitter told me to

@fesshole Left a note to my teenager to cut steaks into 5s and add to the slow cooker. Steak was cut into an accurate 52 tiny pieces

Cooking ham for Christmas and had to go out, left instructions for teenager to turn off oven and open door to let heat out. They turned oven off and opened front door of house. £30 Ham continued to cook and burnt, how do you deal with that?

Went to the shops to get healthy food, the mince pies are half price, got more mince pies

@AlisonMoyet And do not sell long unused electronic devices that appear to be old clutter. This also a major crime

Me (60+) wfh: desk, office chair, laptop, second screen, separate keyboard, mouse, 3 active notebooks. Colleague (30) wfh: just lap top, sofa, dog, cat, no note books. Neither of us can comprehend how the other one works!

Made Christmas cards. Probably won’t send them because postage is ridiculous

It’s giveaway time! RT for a chance to win a gorgeous A3 print of your choice by the fabulous @GailMyerscough and I’ll pick a winner on Monday. Visit gailmyerscough.co.uk for more lovely goodies at affordable prices. Good luck!

Right so, if I depart this site. Where next? For news (real not fake) comedians and arty stuff. I’ve got Threads but I’m not convinced yet. I’m a bit woke and leftie if that helps

@JoDoleman Haha. Thank you for acknowledging that this is a rare momentous achievement!

Big day. Completed ballpoint pen

A reminder: don’t forget to reapply sunscreen after the 3 Ss Sweating, Swimming and Sweeping

@ZJAyres So very agree. Son barely scraped his C at GCSE English. Without it no local school would have taken him for A levels. That scraped C was the ridiculous proof he needed that he was capable of anything academically. He’s just finishing his PhD at Imperial.

Art. It’s amazing. RIP Dad. Always with us

And it was hard to say goodbye to the random statue. It was such a special day 6/6

Art and emotion. A short 🧵 Daughter visited @YSPsculpture yesterday. Here are her texts and photos to me. Context - her grandpa died with cancer in June . 1/6
