Nice sunset. Taken from the splashcam.

“Look….the Germany game was on and we were pissed in the Bierkeller and I just said ‘let’s blitzkrieg Poland’ just for the bants”

I couldn’t leave Chicago without getting a cut from my old barber, Zariff!

Oh look the Brexit monkey

Night folks.

That's true.

All in the best possible taste😂

Nice early daffs.

Got my £10 pension bonus today 🤣

I don't know much about this game but number 51 delivers top sporting piss take.

I never really need an excuse to make my Black Pudding Meatballs – a deep love of mine – #RecipeOfTheDay, but since it does happen to be St Andrew’s Day, it felt like a particularly opportune moment! www.nigella.com/recipes/blac...

Some people are leaving the UK 🤔

Sort of a rapture vibe to the weather this afternoon 😉

Fact: The BMW corporate jet has a hand hole so the pilot can do the 'wanker' sign to any other plane he cuts up in the take off queue.

Some peasants were entitled to up to a year and a day of leave if they were sick.

On the top deck today 😁

Couldn’t resist setting up a bit of a bistro scene chez moi for the Mustard Pork Chops that are #RecipeOfTheDay! And I serve gnocchi with them in place of potatoes, not just for speed and ease: they’re wonderful with the pork’s mustard and cider cream sauce. www.nigella.com/recipes/must...

The first episode of The Clangers was originally broadcast on this day in 1969.

🙄

Good night everyone, thanks for playing.

Pub lunch today 😁

We've had approximately 100 visitors tonight, about the same as last year. Nearly run out of treats.

That's my new hearing aids.

Fart dust.

That wretched dancing show followed by the wheel of fortune. Aaaaaargh.

"I'm not feeling your loyalty, Donny. I need you to do something big for me, To show loylty. Tear something down. Something significant"

#RecipeOfTheDay is the delectable Om Ali, an Egyptian dessert introduced to me about 30 years ago by the great Claudia Roden, comprising crisp filo pastry layered with nuts and dried fruit and baked with cream-enriched sweetened milk. It’s simple but sensational! www.nigella.com/recipes/om-ali

On this day in 1965, the first edition of The Magic Roundabout was broadcast on BBC1. Using the animation from the French show Le Manège Enchanté, completely new scripts (which bore no resemblance to the originals) were written and narrated by Eric Thompson.

Sir David Attenborough, the British documentarian and naturalist, became the oldest person to win a Daytime Emmy on Friday at age 99. He beat the record set last year by Dick Van Dyke. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/a...

Lone swimmer.

Midweek Treat: this simple, squidgy Banana Bread is #RecipeOfTheDay! I love all manner of banana breads, but I always return to this one gladly. If you make it, I do recommend you try a slice spread thickly with cream cheese. www.nigella.com/recipes/bana...

Great word!

I feel seen 😉

Saw this beauty this afternoon.

Spice tin topped up, could be curry time soon😋

There it is, that is the house that was Barnes Wallis house in the film dam busters.

It's like summer down the beach this afternoon.

Hell of a thing to put next to a statue of Joan of Arc. (h/t David Pilling)

Here it comes 😕
