Reading a Patricia Routledge obituary realised I probably saw her in Noises Off, just transferred to The Savoy.
Still my favourite stage farce.
Michael Frayn also wrote one of my favourite TV comedy dramas.
First and Last, 1989. Stealing the show from a fantastic ensemble cast, Patricia Routledge.

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.
Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.
What, Michelle? 🧵

Listening to Test Match Special.
Over the years it feels like I turn on the radio and a wicket falls.
Today, phone to Bluetooth speaker while I do a bit of DIY. Swapped from my wife’s phone to mine.
Archer takes Gill’s wicket.
Spooky

This is pretty much our traditional Christmas Eve.
It’s my daughter’s 16th birthday. Her request tonight? Chinese takeout, chocolate cake, and Die Hard.

About to put it back on our Morpeth doorstep I looked at this milk bottle
Advertising a craft fair which was more than 30yrs ago in Kemerton (me too, Worcestershire)
Also embossed “property of Cotteswold Dairy” (Tewkesbury)
Has this humble bottle really been visiting doorsteps and fridges for 30ys?

A little Christmas present to ourselves has just arrived. An amusing reminder of 2008 when the Wansbeck came into our home.

About to go to bed MOTD starts, and I watch a brilliant summary of the match.
Phenomenal talents to produce such an excellent highlights programme so quickly.

Planning holidays and things for next year.
Searched for Championship start date.
I’m a Sunderland supporter……
of course the first match will be 16/8/25 in the Premier League.
Perhaps🙂
