@Lord_Steerforth I hate crocheted things full stop

Judging by our local Facebook page, my wife and I are the only people who hate knitted postbox toppers. Surely, there must be some other jaundiced curmudgeons out there who loathe these naff additions to our love postboxes.

@Lord_Steerforth Omg!

Going through some old photos, my wife's Scottish relatives revealed the sad story of Wee Jock. A dedicated family dog, Wee Jock went everywhere with his owners until they had to put him in kennels for a week. When they returned, he was so excited he had a heart attack and died.

@Lord_Steerforth It's someone's job to make those

Railway fans - what are these things that can be seen on the underside of station platforms in London and the SE (and presumably elsewhere)? I've sort of vaguely wondered for decades, but now that I'm hurtling towards the end of my life, I'd better clear this matter up.

@Lord_Steerforth Would feel silly saying Lizzie but im sure v soon I'll feel silly saying Elizabeth

On the train to Victoria, I heard a young local woman mention delays on the "Lizzie line." Is that now the common parlance for the Crossrail/Elizabeth line, or should I start getting her deportation papers ready?

@Lord_Steerforth Where are you arriving to?

The satnav says you'll arrive in 95 minutes. The sheep have other ideas.

There's a thin line between honouring the memory of your dead dad and seizing the opportunity for a mawkish display of grief over something that happened a long time ago. Unless your loss is recent let's celebrate our fathers in public and grieve in private. Am I being too harsh?

@Lord_Steerforth Think it's a young thrush

Can anyone identify this bird? I know pathetically little about our feathered friends and can no longer blame it on being a Londoner, as I've lived in Sussex for over 20 years. It looks like a fledgling, but I'm not even sure about that. My book on garden birds has drawn a blank.

It's weird how the City of London (i.e. the Square Mile, as opposed to the whole city) treats its Roman ruins. This one was tucked away next to an underground car park on one side and a locked gate on the other. It's all very downbeat, as if they're slightly embarrassed by them.

@Lord_Steerforth Send it my way

Today's comfort read, by Ellen Wood (aka Mrs Henry Wood): a novel about the joys of temperance. "More elderflower cordial, vicar?"

@Lord_Steerforth My favourite sound

Malvern on a Sunday morning.

@sainsburys It would be helpful if you would post an update, please. Even if it's to say the system is still down

@sainsburys Thank you. If you're expecting an order today what will happen to it? Will it automatically be cancelled?

@naylorq Hello Kathryn, really sorry about this. Yes the issues are still ongoing and we will post an update once this has changed. Stephen G

@Lord_Steerforth What a programme. Lucky you

I'm off to the Barbican again tomorrow evening. I recently became a member, lured by the promise of discounted tickets and an exclusive members' area - a place that turned out to be a rather pokey bar where you're lucky if you can find a seat. I don't think I'll bother renewing.

@Lord_Steerforth He wouldn't be flattered by that

@naylorq On a slight tangent, I asked an AI app to produce a "badly-drawn commemorative plate of King Charles III" and this is what I got:

I saw a truly awful late 17th century plate today, celebrating the coronation of William and Mary. It's comforting to see that even in the Baroque period - an age of exquisite craftsmanship - they could still churn out cheap crap like this.

@Lord_Steerforth @mjohndyke Climate breakdown

@mjohndyke It's not just the news, it's also the relentless rain and lack of sunshine - far worse than any year I can remember.

Is it me, or do things all feel wrong?

@Lord_Steerforth Did you go to the Craxton exhibition?

In Chichester yesterday, I was admiring the 15th century Market Cross, built for the poor to sell their wares. Over five centuries on, it looks as if the tradition is being kept alive, although a rock of crack now costs a lot more than three groats.
