What is it with Three.co.uk? They send a letter saying your monthly price is rising, but tell you to check online to see by how much. On the letter most of your account number is obscured for security reasons, but the one you have doesn't work! Customer service? No!

@BrendaBlethyn Thank you for the joy you've brought us - and those breath-taking glimpses of the NE coast!

a heartfelt thank you to everyone who sent such warm messages about the winding up of VERA. i loved every minute of working on the series and I will miss it. The warmth and generosity of fans worldwide made it even more special. thank you from the bottom of my heart. brenda x

You gotta book to write. You're half awake in the morning. The book is a mountain. You got some notes somewhere. Where? What are you gonna do? All day you don't look for the notes. In the end, you find the notes. You turn them into a plan. It's not a mountain. It's a path.

@patricialondon I'm rooting for seeing you, Pat - as well as a rare peace on earth!

When we wish upon a star... Hope your Christmas is what you wish for and 2025 brings happiness And I'm rooting for a better, more peaceful world, too...

@jennyeclair Thanks for the joy you've brought this year, @jennyeclair. Looking forward to even more in 2025. Bring it on!

Happy Xmas - ( despite there being no matching festive pajamas in this house)

@1MonsieurPierre A rest is sometimes as good as a change! Well done for getting it back.

Lost my scribbling mojo for a bit - but I think I’ve found a bit of it today at lunchtime.

@jennyeclair Quo Vadis? Doesn't sound Russia though.

Can anyone remember the name of that mad Russian restaurant in SoHo where we all ate borscht in the 80s

New lows for ⁦@GWRHelp⁩ A first class advance ticket buys you a seat on floor outside the toilet in a train where it’s standing room from front to rear… I’m getting back in my car!

Is photo proof @gwrhelp that I’ve just sat on the floor from Tiverton Parkway to Paddington DESPITE holding a first class ticket?I’ve just been told ( after queuing at your Padd tix office for 15 mins) that I need to write and request compensation! Could you make it any harder?

@jennyeclair Love @mariondeuchars. Everything she does is magic - especially her books for kids.

Got sent this through the post whilst on hols, this is a fabulous book stuffed full of brilliant creative art ideas for all ages, really simple, cheap and inspiring things that we can all do at home, I love it.

Catch the last day of Material Matters at London's Bargehouse if you can. It's one of the more interesting and relevant shows @L_D_F this year. materialmatters.design/Visit

@jennyeclair @RoomChallenge You should exhibit these in the Museum of the Home in Hoxton!

With v limited kit - this weeks @roomchallenge was a challenge

Interesting show @NPGLondon. There's an air of post-lockdown angst in many of the subjects in the 2024 Herbert Smith Freehills Portrait Award - most of the entries were completed last year. It really is a case of art reflecting life and well worth a visit. The work is great too!

An astute placemaking critic indeed 😢

@andyoakes Good place to be exiled. It has its compensations!
