#OriginalRollCall #SORC Saturday 31st January 2026 We made it to the end of the longest month!

Bonjour! #OriginalRollCall Friday 30th January The end is near, one more day & then February! A trip to Deauville today & lunch. Cleaning fairy day 🧚 whish is the best! Not much planned tomorrow and friends coming for lunch on Sunday. My last leg of lamb. That was raised in the field next door!

#OriginalRollCall Wednesday 28th January 2026 Good morning. Bonjour. Up ridiculously early as I have to be out of the house in an hour. Cats fed and I have my coffee. Have a good day everyone.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

Starmer’s US policy lies in tatters. Trump is now punishing the UK and NATO allies just for doing the right thing. Time for the PM to stand firm against the bully in the White House, and work with European and Commonwealth allies to make him back down from this reckless plan.

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century. youtu.be/8saU0WeocP0

A thread of quiet genius.

Again, I’m going to keep banging the lonely drum that the fact that we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations, poses a massive threat to national security & world order, & should immediately end this presidency.

🧵 The German President last week. What you hear is the disappointment at the end of a political life: "our most important partner, the United States, has broken with the values that it helped to establish" ...and through his well-chosen words, a call to action. 1/2

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

If you let them, the horrors will devour you whole. Making space to live and smile is an act of resistance. So is helping others to do the same. If you’re an artist in this time, remember that what you’re doing is part of the emotional support infrastructure. They want you silent. 1/2

#OriginalRollCall Bonjour! What a night. Not sure when we lost power, but EDF are saying 20.00 for getting it back! So I'll be off to light the woodburner. No instant coffee, grrrr. But im fine with my tea, OH's huffing. I wonder if I could cut open a Nespresso pod & use a cafetiere?

A bit of serendipity this morning - didn’t feel safe going out in the car so went to the canal instead and saw this. My comedy moment for the year 🦢🤪 [Vertical video so needs a click] #sillyswan #iphone15pro

Incredible design. 😲

The climate crisis is accelerating - 2025 looks set to become UK’s hottest year on record. Good to see focus on importance of resilience on #r4today- pls take a moment to sign petition calling on Govt to introduce a fully funded national climate adaptation plan petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

You've been kidnapped. the characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? If only…

My son Rory died suddenly in August. He was a wonderful boy: outward looking, funny & kind. He used to help homeless people so a local charity have set up “Rory’s gift” in his name. He would have been 19 today, if you’d like to make an internet stranger happy please consider donating, however small.

Parents! Carers! Anyone taking care of children over the Christmas holidays! My regular reminder of this thread of TOYS you can make from scrap materials, all of which work due to some sort of interesting scientific principle

Winter is pinker than you'd expect:

Can’t find a way to write this that doesn’t sound like a twee bromide but genuinely, if your end of year review is that you survived painful things happening in your life & the world, stayed empathetic in an inhospitable environment & treated yourself & others decently then that’s achievement enough

🧵 Is it a super flu year? Who knows, but I think the current reporting is stupid. A pissed off thread using data. Firstly - here are today's headlines and some from the last 3 years... spot the difference. 1/10
