Sunday comes around quickly, as does Monday - but we won't talk about that. Instead, brighten up your Monday Eve with the latest episode from Gwladys and Aefelthrith in which Aefelthrith takes steps (reluctantly) and Dolly makes plans.

"...This is a fabulous change of pace, and a great way to tell the story of Gwladys, whose character just gets better and better!"

I'm a major fan of Plum but I don't think he would claim ownership ;-)

"You tugged at my heart strings for poor Gwladys. Aefelthrith doesn't realize how lucky she is having Gwladys to listen to her forever complaining and taking care of her."

f you're from my era, Sundays meant The Clitheroe Kid, Round the Horne and Sing Something Simple. If you were from Gwladys and Aefelthrith's era...well, it would probably be bedtime!

Sunday used to be Songs of Praise, now it's Antiques Roadshow and Countryfile, except on ABCTales, where it's Gwladys and Aefelthrith and, this time, Gwladys finds herself accused and the Watch are dragged in, literally!

Doing surprisingly well in North America. Perhaps there's a need for dark humour at the moment?

Yesterday's far-right rally is a lesson to MPs to start talking about the positive side of immigration and to make a safe route for asylum. #wato

Sunday, and this used to be the time of day for the Top 20. Now it's time for Aefelthrith, Gwladys and a cast of thousands! This week, Aefelthrith and Dolly find a common interest and Gwladys is left holding the baby!

Ok, ok, it's a little late on Sunday BUT here it is - the next episode of The Further Chronicles of a Young Lady (and her Maid) and Gwladys, Aefelthrith and Dolly are reminiscing, not altogether fondly!

Sunday is Gwladys and Aefelthrith day and this time Gwladys is trying to show Aefelthrith 'the ropes' until they both get the floor yanked from underneath them!

I know, in the great scheme of things, this isn't hugely important but Kellogg's have changed the recipe for All Brand and it's awful 😞

As an announcement from the leader of Reform (4 MPs) was headline news yesterday, can we expect further breathless coverage of Plaid Cymru (also 4 MPs) in the future?

It's Sunday and Gwladys puts a stop to one thing, only for Aefelthrith to start something else!

They had a follow-up hit with 'So The Story Goes' but it only made #81 in the U.S.
