Also a triple vaccinated ICU consultant who is VERY grateful to have been able to reduce the risk to myself and others. So grateful in fact, that I have happily been vaccinating others - including this fabulous ICU Registrar (I’m peri-retirement and like the old names best!!).

So proud to be involved with @hospicestclare A wonderful organisation with the most incredible people. ❤️ This service is SO vital!! itv.com/watch/news/fam…

@KemiBadenoch You are my MP. I wish you would pipe down a bit as, frankly, you are something of an embarrassment.

Lucy Connolly finally returns home to her family today. At last. Her punishment was harsher than the sentences handed down for bricks thrown at police or actual rioting. At that time, after Southport, Keir Starmer branded all protesters ‘far-right’ and called for “fast-track prosecutions”. Days later, Lucy was charged with stirring up racial hatred - an offence that doesn’t even require intent to incite violence. Why exactly did the Attorney General think that was in the public interest? Meanwhile, former Labour councillor Ricky Jones called for protestors to have their throats slit. Charged with encouraging violent disorder, he pleaded not guilty and was acquitted by a jury who saw his words as a disgusting remark made in the heat of the moment, not a call to action. Juries are a cornerstone of justice, but we shouldn’t have to rely on them to protect basic freedoms. Protecting people from words should not be given greater weight in law than public safety. If the law does this, then the law itself is broken – and it’s time Parliament looked again at the Public Order Act.

@SabrinaGhayour Just arrived back from holiday to find my copy. Too many exciting things in it to list, but the genius of the kebab/sausage roll love child…😍!!!! I love mercimek köfte which made me think that a collaboration between you and Refika Birgul would be TV heaven!!

My new book just came out today and I’m so happy but also so overwhelmed in the best sort of way. It never gets old, it’s always ‘heart-in-mouth’ type of thing but I hope everyone likes it.

I've just signed @ResusCouncilUK's CPR in schools petition! Will you? action.resus.org.uk/cpr-in-schools…

Haven’t posted for months but thought today’s Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake ( recipe @A_petretzikis ) was definitely worth it…

@EarlyOpera Please record it!!!!!

She has recorded six Handel discs with us to date! She performed Juno in Semele, Rosmira in Partenope, Teodata in Flavio, Amastre in Serse, Amadigi/Dardano and most recently Disinganno in Il Trionfo del tempo. We can't wait to see her how she brings Floridante to life!

We are thrilled to be working with #baroque specialist @HilarySummers10 once again this year in #Handel's #Floridante! #handelspecialists #earlyopera #earlyoperacompany #christiancurnyn #opera #operasinger

@rbo_org Would be great to revive the Barry opera as well - kids seemed to love that as well!!

Down the rabbit hole and into a world of wonder ✨ Our Schools' Matinee performance of The Royal Ballet's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland transported these young audience members to a magical world of dance and storytelling. Just listen to that incredible response!

@HilarySummers10 @AkselToll @WrStaatsoper @SYoungConductor In happier days….

@AkselToll @WrStaatsoper @SYoungConductor Very Marge Simpson I think…

Road safety in Namibia…… zebra crossing

@jprgooch You’re not the first to have recommended it….

Just finished singing chorus in Saffron Opera’s stunning presentation of Die Meistersinger. At the end there was a ringing bravo that silenced all. Dame Anne Evans, the great Bayreuth Brünnhilde of the ‘80s, no less. Icing on the cake! Her projection still sound😍

@midgetmoxie Yes

#DoesAnybodyRemember Does anybody remember the actor in the photo below?? #FilmX #FilmTwitter #TVTwitter

Artistic symbolism is a difficult thing. Watching Olympic Closing Ceremony on Catalan TV understanding 1:100 words if that - I have absolutely no idea what this is about. Like the gold feathery thing though…..

@clairebubblepop Naive answer. Should have been “money and stable home country”…..

@clairebubblepop Money….. 😡

Ok someone explain to me what the difference is between ex-pats and migrants? I don’t get how one is considered absolutely fine and the other is not. The hypocrisy is real with this one.

@LeylsTurk @Nigella_Lawson Now you’re talking!!

@drjeffphillips @Nigella_Lawson With a black coffee and a fresh OJ, it’s my fav.

#RecipeOfTheDay is what are known as Catalan Toasts in my home, though they are properly called Pa amb Tomàquet in Catalan: toasted bread, rubbed with garlic and smeared with tomato, which is pushed through a grater. I, however, finely chop the tomato, reducing it to a red fuzz, then mix with olive oil and garlic, and lightly cover the toast with it. When the tomatoes are good, I keep a little bowl of this mixture to hand for a quick Catalan toast whenever the need arises! nigella.com/recipes/catala…
