@fourfoot @orbette @cherryaimless I wasn’t a fan as a bit too bitter for me. I still love that rose and lychee margarita I had at the OXO tower with you both.

@cherryaimless @drtoriaredfern Can you record them? Then type up as you playback?

@drtoriaredfern My head is filled with things to say. I just can’t write any of ‘em.

@WriterHannahBT I was watching my local pair of swifts hunt over my house just now. As there are only two does that mean they haven’t been able to breed? Are they feeding young in a nest? I have put a swift box on my Christmas list.

Birders on Twitter. Do you know of any good spots for birds near Criccieth, Gwynedd?

@WriterHannahBT Thank you! We will keep on keeping on until these amazing birds are given a home.

(Don’t worry. This is just the beginning)

How many people, especially those 109,894 who signed #TheFeatherSpeech petition, feel betrayed by the gov+opposition? Thank you so much @CarolineLucas 🪶 as I sat behind you I felt the weight of swift feathers on my shoulders falling to the depths when they should be soaring🪶

@WriterHannahBT @CarolineLucas Oh my goodness 😞

@cherryaimless 😮

Symptoms of nature disconnection: ignorance, fear, scaremongering, persecution. As a past ‘victim’ of (nonnative) daffodil poisoning should I be campaigning for their eradication? Hemlock: Anger after poisonous plant found near Bucklesham school bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

@davidmbarnett Oh please do write it!

I sent this pitch to my agent to wind her up but now I kind of want to write it.

@cherryaimless @366DaiChallenge Never seen him live but his stand up on BBC has me breathless with laughter.

@amberBirdNerd @366DaiChallenge Have only seen him live once, at the de la Warr, and we were all wearing masks. It was a strange experience.

OK, you might want to sit down for this. What is the best stand-up you've seen? Which live comedy performance had you laughing like you were in the audience for a comedy show and it was good? #365DC

@cherryaimless (Questions her whole approach to foil) think it is recyclable!

@amberBirdNerd Ooooohhh! Is it card and foil? Is the foil proper foil, or pretend non-recyclable foil? Also...yum.

I just wish chocolate brands would go back to paper wrappers. I think Mars bars are returning to paper... just wish they all would. *trudges off to the corner shop to buy Smarties again because they come in a cardboard tube*

@cherryaimless @StillAnyGoodPod We just saw Dial of Destiny. My order would be…. 1. Raiders (obv) 2. Holy Grail 3. Dial of Destiny 4. Doom 25. Crystal Skull

@StillAnyGoodPod When I listened, the podcast I listened to immediately afterwards (the Rosie & Chris Ramsay one) also discussed ‘Doom’, and the only bit Rosie could remember was the only bit I remembered. The woman on a horse. I think my hierarchy of Indiana Jones films goes 1. Raiders (obv)

@StillAnyGoodPod, you weighing in here?

@cherryaimless @366DaiChallenge Deffo that was a good night! Stewart Lee also has that affect on me.

@366DaiChallenge Eddie Izzard, Stripped, Cardiff, 2009 with @amberBirdNerd I remember at one point we were holding on to each other and crying. #365DC

'A deadly problem': should we ban SUVs from our cities? theguardian.com/cities/2019/oc…

Sad to see this article getting instant negative remarks. On behalf of the most iconic bird on earth, and our closest wild neighbours, Thank You @guardian + @patrick_barkham for giving #TheFeatherSpeech +these birds airtime. #nature #recovery #birds #swift theguardian.com/environment/20…

@SoVeryBritish Up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire!

I love all the different little phrases Brits use for going up to bed. What’s your favourite?

@Anna_Mazz Trotters bakery in Seahouses. Try the peach Melba’s.

Dear remaining Twitterers who can actually see this: I'm off to Northumberland. Can you recommend weird, wonderful, fascinating places to visit? Alnwick Poison Garden, Barter Books, Farne Islands, Lindisfarne and various castles already on the list. Thank you!

It’s really amazing how much more I like someone when I find out they have a cat (If you see this you have to show me your cat)

WTF?! The UK is one of the world’s richest countries & we’re really going to tell our kids we can’t “afford” to pay for a liveable planet for them?? And we’re going to betray some of the poorest countries? This Govt’s moral bankruptcy is truly sickening theguardian.com/environment/20…
