This is delicious.

Post-work head clearing walk up the back.

I see the latest bandwagon is voice reveals or something. I eschew bandwagons, so no Scottish dulcets from me. Best I can offer is some Krankie chanting.

That's my work done until 2026. I now feel as festive as Mrs Sharples with her big balloon.

Painting by Jeremy Miranda ‘This years tree’ 2024 Acrylic on board. Size 10 × 12 in.

Last four hours of work for 2025 coming up. Good morning.

I mean, majestic. The scene end is quite something 🤣

Mother has rearranged my festive blooms. After much tutting.

Last full work day of 2025. Not sure why this Fanny gif fits my mood.

Good morning. Last Monday to work in 2025. I need to deploy Hardy.

21st December 2020 The mid-19th century ‘Penfold’ post box outside the main gate to King’s College accepts some last-minute Christmas post. Picture from my book 'Cambridge - Time & Space'. Available at cambridgebooks.co.uk/cambridge-ti... and all bookshops.

I think my mother has been watching Threads again. This doesn't include all the M&S gubbins already in my freezer. (I've told her I have a milkman).

Anxiously awaiting my mother's massive Christmas food shop delivery. Of course, they aren't arriving until tomorrow so I get all the fun. 🛒🛒🛒

I've hit 4000 posts which feels like a lot yet I also feel like I'm barely here? Anyway, yay.

And I've hurt my back. Jingle bloody bells. Can someone bring me coffee, toast and pain relief? Good morning.

I have raided the Christmas wine stocks in the garage. Good evening.

Victoria Wood - As Seen on TV (18th December 1987). "By the thump Minnie Caldwell, you take the barm cake".

Coronation Street - written by Adele Rose (18th December 1978). Hilda fancies a change this Christmas but Stan doesn't ...

Remembering Gordon Jackson on his birthday, the star of The Professionals & Ealing Comedies was born on this day in 1923. 🧵👇

Massively ran out of steam at work yesterday. Pushed myself too hard. Lesson learned, taken a rare sick day. Feeling aged this morning 😬🙄

Now 5 and a 1/2 working days to go. Party time. Good morning.

Seven working days to go. Good morning.

I need to work out who this "Professor Crump" is who keeps sending me these deeply offensive missives @garyjamesactor.bsky.social 🤣🤣🤣🤣🎄

When Christmas rolls around I always think of this shot: a father & son looking almost ghostly as they roll along an illuminated Buchanan St in their Ford Thames van. 68 Christmases have come and gone since this was taken. 📷 TSPL #glasgow

Found this in my camera roll and not sure how it landed there. Good morning.

Bring Steed’s unshakable calm, Purdey’s poise & Gambit’s cheeky charm to your walls with Art & Hue's new collection of stylish pop art inspired by The New Avengers, an official collaboration with @studiocanal.co.uk , exclusively available at artandhue.com/newavengers

Sunday Negroni time.

Marvellous 👌😆

I wish I'd seen these yesterday for our the 100th birthday of our hero, but do please enjoy these photos of Dick Van Dyke moonlighting from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" to go and visit some pals on "Carry on up the Khyber". Roy, Sid and Julian look pleased as punch, don't they?

Good morning. And a reminder that Lewis Collins was indeed a God.

2025 was full of film & TV anniversaries. As we approach Christmas, take a look at Art & Hue's year-end round-up of the year's milestones. artandhue.com/2025-events

Hitchin is full of surprises. Hopefully they don't taste like furniture polish.

Back in my favourite place to decompress.

It all happens in Cambridge 😀

Eric Sykes! This has conjured up a forgotten memory. He was a delight!

Beautiful 😍

Barber said I looked much younger with my hair tidied up. Think it was the tip he was after. Or Specsavers.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Farewell to a Scottish legend. My Gran remembers him mimicking teachers when he was evacuated to where she lived, early in the war. Didn't get on with his memoirs, but a talented man.

Thank fuck it's Friday. I've accrued enough hours to take a half day today. Not a jammy bastard, just a very tired one.

Watching this episode now. "No éclairs!"

Good morning. Work Christmas lunch today.

Received this lovely little vase through the post today from @matthewcoxceramics.bsky.social - absolutely love it. I don't think Matthew uses Bluesky much now, but just want to say how chuffed I am with it 👍👌

Audrey can't be arsed and neither can I.

😍

Two books I'm currently enjoying. One by a legendary songbird, star of stage and screen. And Petula's is quite good too. @garyjamesactor.bsky.social

Coronation Street - written by Barry Hill (6th December 1978). Eddie stores a fruit machine overnight at No 13 (doing a favour for one of his dodgy friends). After Stan loses all his money, Hilda is insistent that it's not removed until they're reimbursed. And then Bet pops in.

Chores done, feet up with coffee and cake, enjoying this immensely, complete with my very special book mark 😊😇👌

It's been quite a day. A delight to meet @craigasjj.bsky.social properly for the first time, and a fascinating afternoon spent at an exhibition about the late, great Fenella Fielding. Quite an experience 👍😇

Tuesday.

My daily Bluesky post is a reminder I'd like him to be my next husband. Well, partner, or regular visitor, as I don't want a husband. Thanks.
