@AlisonSmith29 It was the instruction not to send extra that got me. Like, why would you??

Gentle lunchtime walk today. Getting better thankfully. Those over 55 will know what joyful task I had to complete this morning 😂

@FobTurnip I have just spent 15 mins in 4 degree water, watching the moorhens decide whether to swim with us or not. Being in the water is what gives me that feeling.

There is nothing quite like walking barefoot on frosty grass, love it nearly as much as dew. Contact with the earth is perfection

If it’s not Raclette on Silvester, you surely aren’t even celebrating. It might take forever to cook anything, but that’s why we have beer, right? RIGHT?

In another episode of things that didn't happen
Charlie Bentley-Astor@astor_charlie

At 17 years old, I gave up on becoming an actor despite then being in one of the best drama schools in the UK because 85% of the casting calls my agent received stipulated, "Caucasian's need not apply." Not "Black actors wanted" or "Latin actors wanted" but "Caucasian's need not apply." That is to say "All auditions welcome except from white people." I knew I wasn't going to get anywhere, even if I could hone my skill to a competitive level. I knew then that the stories of the near future were not going to be about the white working class or ancient Britons or knights and their princesses. Being an actor is the first job I ever wanted - from 4 years old I did nothing else. I switched for 10 years to directing. But the tide has risen higher still and I find all grants and opportunities exclusively for "BAME people." I am good at what I do. I have won awards and worked at one of the best theatres in the country. I offer insight and poetic depth with my skill. But I am white and say that men are not women and therefore merit does not enter into the calculation.

@FobTurnip I think our old Monopoly set is under the bed. We have the same metal counters. The dog was always mine. Fond memories of being roundly beaten on most occasions 😁

Today, clearing my parents place i rescued the counters from my monopoly set, which had gone a tad mouldy. Little dog was gone. Not sure what to do with them. Might put them with kids set. Must be nearly 50 years old.

Who or What am I? Hint 1: They have one of the most recognisable calls. It is actually a call and answer. The male calls, the female answers and then the male gives a final phase. The call is used to show territory, to attract a mate and reinforce a pair bond. Second hint at noon

@ShropshireWX A gritter drove past me on Redhill Way about 7am but didn't appear to be spreading and yes, sheet ice all along the road to the M54 J4.

Reports of lethal roads around Telford this morning, seeing reports of numerous crashes & gridlock around town. Have the gritters been round? Take care on the roads this morning, yellow warning for ice in force.⚠️
Pete Williams@pjw_md

@TelfordWrekin do you have any grit / gritters? A442 into Telford from the north is essentially one big lethal ice sheet because you’ve spectacularly failed to do your job.

@peteblackall @germany_iam I remember doing interpreting at University very many years ago and thinking the Hamburg trawlermen sounded like Geordies speaking German.

Today’s 13yo burn incoming. Teacher wrongly blamed him for something. I suggested he get his head down take it & avoid making himself a marked man. To which he replied “and clearly this is a case of do what I say here?!” Seen is not the word 😆
