A mother sent me a poem that her 16-year-old autistic child wrote with one of my poetry prompts. I think I will read it every day.

@StornowayBand I’m so sad but I can’t use my tickets to your Gower gig any more. Looks like it’s sold out: do you know anyone who needs them? 2 adults’ and 2 children’s tickets available x

Exciting news…. as part of our Outdoor Unplucked shows throughout the year we’ll be playing in the Gower in August. Secret location. Tickets here!  stornowayband.com/events/428a312… We’ve got a new Shed Session for you too! Available to watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=M6HgJU…

@LevParikian I hope this gets the recognition it deserves. Yours, A Classicist.

Presumably in a couple of weeks it’ll have halved in value so he’ll have to change the name to V.

And speaking of Finns, a Finnish equivalent to “a few sandwiches short of a picnic” is hänellä ei ole kaikki muumit laaksossa. It means “he/she doesn’t have all the Moomins in the valley”

This is a thread of phrases similar to “a few sandwiches short of a picnic” from around the world, starting with this one… There’s a colourful old Swedish idiom that goes hjulet snurrar men hamstern är död. It means “the wheel is spinning but the hamster is dead”

Storm has broken heavens open #thankgod #rain @StornowayBand

@edtolputt @StornowayBand @EarthshipBTN Thank you, yes all good! Totally magical evening 🤩

@themoominthinks @StornowayBand @EarthshipBTN Hope it all worked out!

Hello @StornowayBand - we're looking fwd to your gig at the @EarthshipBTN on Fri. There's a train strike (none after 8.30pm) &bus takes 3.5h. Wondering if there are any Stornofans who would be up for sharing a taxi back to London, or who have car space for 2? Grateful for RT!

🙏🏽

@whippletom I’m waiting patiently for this thread to become a book, or at least an article in Private Eye

@ANethsingha Totally extraordinary 🌟 so proud of you! Xx

Having just had a few days off from Twitter I’m absolutely bowled over by the quantity & generosity of all the comments following the Coronation. I’m sorry I can’t reply to each one individually. THANK YOU to all who have written and to my countless wonderful fellow musicians.

@StornowayBand @cookingvinyl @wastedyouthpr @theglassaisle Relistening to Beachcomber's Windowsill and would LOVE to hear End of the Movie or Long Distance Lullaby. What tunes!

@Twhittermarsh Never stopped using paper. Deep love of stationery drives my habits

If you’re living with domestic abuse and you have a mobile phone hidden in your house “just in case?” Please remember to switch it off on Sunday 23 April 2023 amp.theguardian.com/society/2023/a… (2/2)

Please RT: At 3pm on 23.04.23 a UK-wide test of an emergency alert system will take place on EVERY MOBILE PHONE in the country. This loud alarm will sound on your phone and make it vibrate, even if it is switched to silent or notifications are off. (1/2)

@RoseStokes don't buy baby 'miracle' stuff on your phone at 3am ("*this* swaddle will make him sleep for TWELVE HOURS STRAIGHT!!!!!!" spoiler alert, it probably won't). buy yourself lovely treats instead

Parents! If you could go back and give yourself one piece of advice for becoming a parent for the first time, what would it be? I'll go first: not everything "means" or indicates something. Sometimes a baby is behaving a certain way just because they're a baby.

@StornowayBand @cookingvinyl Oh! I just checked the website again and managed to get two tickets to Oxford. Hurrah!!!

@StornowayBand @O2RitzManc @cookingvinyl @greenmindgigs @exeter_phoenix @CambJunction @O2AcademyBris @whelanslive @LdsIrishCentre @rescuerooms @TramshedCF Thank you so much, that would be WONDERFUL

Welcome to the shed… Some very special news coming tomorrow… Stay tuned! (Best guess gets a prize…) (Best photo of your own shed, also gets a prize…)

@rhiannonlucyc Same. And my mother, and me. Forever grateful to the unseen saviours of us in fluorescent hospital rooms.
