Marks and Spencer instore music today was a very operatic rendition of "Oh Holy Night" with a piercing soloist. I could hear people singing along in the food aisles! The next moment, the mood was broken by Ariana Grande "a little less conversation and a little more touch my body." No singing along😂

"Please try not to walk mud into the house" Not sure if that's a gardening journal or a murder mystery.

I've had an amazing weekend in Chester with friends. A beautiful city where we met lots of kind and friendly people, ate good food, felt safe the whole time and had no end of fun. Chester people, you should be very proud. Thanks for your kind hospitality!

Well NOW I feel festive, thanks to a wreath making event at church (a bargain at ten quid, and included mulled Ribena, what a discovery). Minor hazards from handling foliage 🎶 Let yourself be pricked by holly, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-laa 🎶 #IMadeThis

I found a vintage emporium in town that I have previously missed. I realise now that my husband has actively steered me away from this place twice before. Smart of him, because now I am undone.

Taken just before we got royally stuck, trying scramble down a cliff where the path is blocked by fallen trees above Hepburn Wood, Northumberland. Beautiful heathland plants and a view of the Cheviot Hills. #SundayPixOffTheBeatenTrack

Heard someone say "ooh is Hitler on in a bit?"

The information superhighway is breaking down, in my opinion. It peaked and now it's fading. All Search functions - whether within a shop or standalone like Google - are now so heavily weighted towards adverts and algorithms that we can't find solid, clean, informative results.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone ever opened the old suggestions box at work to discover I'd been using it to store used tea bags in.

I spoke to our suburban Big Issue seller today. I bought one because she looked cold, even though I don't want it because the print size is too small for me. I thought it would be insulting just to give her the money. Turns out she makes so little off the mag that she would rather have the £. Noted.

It seems I melted the non stick coating off the wok using our induction hob this evening. Is this why I have a stomach ache? Exactly how poisoned and out-of-pocket am I?

Series 4 of the Diplomat on Netflix is so good. Best series yet. Delightful dialogue and occasionally some very dry humour. #NowWatching

String group practice last night. I am such a bad, squeaky, violinist, until I am playing with other people and then some magic happens and I'm magically transformed into an average violinist. Love it!

I'm getting a lot more "purple firsts" by working it out with a pencil. And by pencil, I mean taking a screenshot and using a highlighter in edit mode. Connections Puzzle #882 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩

I always enjoy an opportunity to post this ~ Alphonse Bertillon, pioneer of the front-&-profile criminal mugshot, did some practice runs with his nephew, a notoriously hardened criminal, aged 2. His crime? 'Nibbling pears' (Silver albumen print, 1893 MoMA)

Finished Riot Women ont iPlayer. I'm so glad the ending made me smile because despite the laughs, I did lose sleep over the darker parts. Highly recommended but trigger warning for some male violence. FWIW I'm wondering why nobody has ever asked me to be in a rock band. That's a head-scratcher!

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

I never wanted to watch spiders shagging but two were going for it in the kitchen first thing. In the time it took me to get the vacuum cleaner, one scarpered. I assume he jumped out the window with his girlfriend throwing his 8 shoes after him. She's now in the vacuum, thinking about her actions.

Right. Bins.
