Friday night at home assembling heat attack lasagne after large margaritas and a cosmo, the recipes for which the SO spent Christmas perfecting…not sure I’m in any fit state to operate the oven. Fuck yeah! That’s two fingers to the fatigue but I’ll pay for it for a week but Fuck Yeah!

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Hilarious photograph - Trump perfectly posed as the the knuckle dragging numpty that he is 🤣🤣🤣

That was not a rampage #TheArchers

I don’t think George will self harm; more likely to violently lash out as he’s paved the way recently by attacking Ed twice #TheArchers

Really don’t have any time for George he has always bean a horrible bully and he still is. Don’t understand why Emma etc have always tolerated his sarky back chat and treated him like a little prince. They’ve created a violent misogynist with delusions of his own importance. #TheArchers

So not surprised about the David Walliams news just amazed it’s taken so long.

So a West Country Christmas Tractor Parade went past my house today! Most of them just had lights and tinsel. Joy’s expecting a lot from busy farmers if she wants complicated designs IMO. This is the tail end of it with Father Christmas on board 🎅 🚜 🎄 #TheArchers #TheArchersXmasBingo

@elizabennet.bsky.social we have a small victory, the @guardian.com has changed the photo for the Christmas lunch article. It’s now a family sitting down to a traditional Christmas dinner including Christmas crackers 🥂 🥳🎄🍽️ www.theguardian.com/thefilter/20...

Hey @theguardian.com picture editors, this is a photo of a Thanksgiving dinner not a Christmas dinner! Where are the roast potatoes?! There’s a pecan pie and and a pumpkin pie and only mashed potatoes shown so it’s definitely not a typical UK Christmas Dinner. Details matter!

My crazy black cat went missing 3 & 1/2 years ago and has just been found living rough about 2 miles away. A local animal sanctuary called me this pm. I’ve been through all the emotions since she went missing and am so grateful someone took the effort to spot a stray and get her rescued. #Caterday

Very sad to hear that Martin Parr has died. He was an absolute legend and a fantastic mentor to my partner.

'December' from Eliot Hodgkin's 'The Months', 1950. The first Christmas roses, seasonal greenery, a dainty indoor cyclamen, a shop-bought anemone, a clementine from Spain and two shy early violets, with their promise of spring.

An amazing, moving play written of course by a refugee welcomed to England. The irony of the words of one character was not lost on the audience where I watched #Leopoldstadt (hollow laughter at the state of Britain now). #TomStoppard

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... Genuinely heartwarming article celebrating 4 unsung heroes; number 5 is passable, not sure 6 deserves a mention!

My day in a nutshell

A. I can’t believe that no one is shouting at Ruairi for organising the holiday from hell. B. You sure about calling her Peggy, Phoebe? #TheArchers

There are absolute numpties dressed as medieval knights getting ready to protest outside a hotel housing refugees in Bristol today. Tossers.

The new Amber doesn’t have the vulnerable edge the original actor brought to it. The character now sounds much older and less compelling. The old Amber irritated like mad, this one is just 🤷🏼‍♀️ #TheArchers

I might be a bit feverish but I’m getting Mad Woman in The Attic vibes about Amber’s mum #TheArchers

I hear you Susan, bread making is so therapeutic. #TheArchers

4 years ago today I had surgery to remove most of a brain tumour. Still in rehabilitation and sometimes the days are hard going but I’m very grateful to be here.

The dialogue is cringy though

Watching Down Cemetery Road and Bristol is doing a good job of standing in for Oxford.

Time to get rid of the entire royal family. Don’t forget that Charles was good friends with Jimmy Saville 🤮

My partner has just got to the top of the waiting list for an #NHS #ADHD assessment. He was referred 7 years ago. Nearly missed the narrow deadline for responding as communication methods don’t take into account people with ADHD can be very disorganised 🤷🏼‍♀️

I ❤️ French tv “timber sports” is apparently a thing 😂

Well played!

Excellent thread

www.theguardian.com/business/202... A quick reminder that any kind of “benign” brain tumour is not a friendly one. Even though not cancerous they can still kill and treatment and long term effects can be devastating.

This

Weird fucking moment today: got talked into going to a daytime *dog* friendly comedy gig. Got there to discover the only other time I’ve been in that very room was for my father’s memorial service. Probably would have been ok if the first act hadn’t kept going on about death.

It feels a bit bleak at the moment but this a reminder that there are lots of good things in the world. You are one of them and these are just some of ours… Autumn sunshine, kindness, our Hall, saying hello to neighbours, Yorkshire tea, chocolate biscuits. Feel free to to add your own!

Cleo story line is another evil wind up from the script writers making us listen to Deluded Pip witter on about Rosie-who-can-do-no-wrong-and-is-universally-adored. I’m no dog lover so not normally on the side of canines but Rosie IS A BRAT and Pip is an idiot. Feeling much better now 😬 #TheArchers

www.bigissue.com/culture/art/... Uplifting article in The Big Issue about young homeless people finding a voice through photography. Everyone needs the arts.

Never in a million years would I have thought Trump was a fan of Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em #MichaelCrawford

the most infuriating thing about men giving us the 'emotional' moniker is that they decided anger wasn't an emotion so they could still display it. Are we more emotional? I mean, sure, if you totally change what the word means.

Fact 👇👇

Beautiful

RIP Ozzy Osbourne you legend 💔 Black Sabbath figured massively in the soundtrack to my misspent youth 💔

Gorgeous Jersey Tiger Moth visitor at the kitchen door this afternoon helpfully reminding me the windows need a good clean 😃 #moths

Thank Christ Neil has finally had enough of George; how long have we had to wait for someone in the family to flip and call him out for being the nasty little bully he is #TheArchers

Yep that’s me alright, proud Gen X slacker through and through 🤣

George and Amber don’t deserve that engagement ring. #TheArchers

One for @realclintonb.bsky.social

Today’s revelations in @theobserveruk.bsky.social about the #TheSaltPath Winns not making cider while living on an actual cider farm while showing Rick Stein their supposed skills u.co.uk/shows/rick-s...

Could easily be a photo of an early 80s synth band

No, Emma! You’ve invited Amber in at your peril! #TheArchers

Looks like @gigspanner.bsky.social have been suckered by fraudster #RaynorWinn #TheSaltPath
