I'm a reader of books, a drinker of tea, a planter of plants and a lover of animals. Except slugs. Slugs can absolutely do one

Can't fool me - I can see Emley Moor Mast in the distance. That's obviously Huddersfield

As the audience obediently rose to sing Away in a Manger, the donkey at the back ( my son) stood up, pointed at me and in a very stern voice said loudly ' Mum, do NOT sing' (he'd obviously heard me before) The entire audience collapsed into giggles and nobody could sing

A peony given to me by my mother over 40 years ago. It's been in every garden I have owned and before that it was in her garden since at least 1962

Yeah but you couldn't do the washing up in it. The sleeves would get all soggy

Excellent recommendation. That's today sorted. And tomorrow. And possibly the rest of the year......πŸ‘

Age yourself with a film you saw in the cinema as a kid.

Do you have house plants? They could be fungus gnats

I know! I have to remember not to try and weed under the fuschia after the time I got dive-bombed by them. They ended up down my top, in my hair, everywhere
Still traumatised thinking about it! 😱

It was We Rate Dogs. I love it too, and the dog shares my name. Might make it my bio pic πŸ˜„

The truth: we need migration.

The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.

Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.

Reject it. Draw the line.

Sadiq Khan condemns Nigel Farage's threat to deport hundreds of thousands of Londoners with settled status.

β€œThey have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city.

β€œThreatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

Seriously how hard is it to say β€œThis is an outrageous attack on our friends and neighbours who are in this country legally and have followed all the rules to get settled status, who are valued members of our communities, get to fuck frog-face”?
