@kamfinsa @atearsarahjane I hope you stayed with it Alison. I thought it was beautifully done and faithful to the book. Keeley Hawes was magnificent, also Jessica Hynes abs Synnove Karlsson.

@atearsarahjane I am. Not sure I'll stick with it. #MissAusten

@MaiaDunphy It's too late, isn't it? 😥

We are living in such alarming times. Even the most sceptical, or “weather is cyclical” climate change deniers, must acknowledge that even if only some of this is within our power to change, we have to change it. 😞

Twitter, I’m losing followers hand over fist. Still just about hanging on in here - please help me find my old followers - if they’re still here - if you can, by RTing.

@kamfinsa @philipnolan1 #TodaysGrammarPeeve - didn't know this was a thing. I have two of them: fewer vs less and the complete misuse of 'and I'. Every .... single .... time I hear these two, a piece of me dies.....
