Watched #LastOneLaughing. I'd be useless on such a show. Throw out an innuendo, insult, slapstick or toilet humour and I'd be out of the game. Excellent mood booster of a show 👌

I'm obsessed with #Virdee - binged it on iPlayer. Love that it's set in Bradford, the religion dynamics, and the Luther-like vibes from DCI Virdee. Staz Nair is an excellent lead.

I needed more people to warn me about the emotional roller coaster that was Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. Sobbed and sobbed some more. Hugh Grant was exceptional - he really has gotten better with age.

I've listened to ONE YEAR'S worth of Wolf & Owl podcasts in one month. I've even (temporarily) stopped listening to Greg James in the morning. Think I may have a problem

Oh, to have the blind optimism of a three-year-old. Despite explaining the injury crisis, sickness bug and quite frankly diabolical form against Newcastle, the little man has declared: "Spurs are going to do great. Kulusevski's gonna score the first and third goal." #TOTvNEW #COYS

Nice to start the year with a not-so-humble brag. If you want to do something new/good/get free biscuits, give blood (if you can). #Giveblood

But he's a repeat offender who had been on the police's radar long before the robbery and attempted murder. Surely, his escape proves how much of a risk he is?

Caught up on Wallace & Gromit. Exceptional. Poor old Gromit puts up with an unreasonable amount of crap. 'That's an innocent nun' - one of the best moments of Christmas telly ever.

Quite clearly, New Zealand exposed a lot of flaws in England, who remain brilliant and mad in equal measure. A real hammering. That's England men's last Test until May, which is utterly ludicrous. #NZvsENG

What a brilliant documentary. He was such a generous soul. And hot. Not sure that was meant to be the takeaway 😂

Erm, @yorkshiretea.bsky.social , say it isn't so. I've just heard the Toast & Jam tea has been discontinued. 90% of the tea I consume (and it's a lot) are these 😭.

This part, in particular, resonated so deeply with me.
"Time is supposed to ease grief, but it sharpens it too: time passing means that your time with the person you loved grows further away. That holds its own grief. They recede, you keep moving on a path they can no longer join."

@geofflemon.bsky.social has written a beautiful piece about the anniversary of Philip Hughes' death.
If you've ever suffered a close bereavement, this manages to explain some of those unthinkable and unimaginable moments.

Sat near some old dears in a cafe and tune into the conversation.
"Have you ever been to Ann Summers?" A resounding 'no' - apart from one. "Oh, I have. I could tell you some stories." Well, go on, Mary. Start talking.

Listened to the latest Tailenders podcast (loosely-cricket based, if you're unfamiliar) and discovered not everyone's listening to podcasts/voicenotes at 1.5x speed (at least). I presumed this was standard.
