You can keep your Poirots and your Marples, the greatest murder mystery moment on tv is when John Nettles discovers Selina Cadell has been popped into a tumble drier

Just thought an email entitled ‘Charity Abseil’ was about a student named that. (A sign of the times working in a secondary school in 2025).

Just scratched my back with a spaghetti server spoon. 10/10 Recommend. 👍🏻

Taxi driver complimented me on my whistling. Nice tip coming his way 💅🏻

No finer (non homemade) soup lunch than Heinz cream of tomato with grated cheese on a freezing day. #soupfluencer

Can’t stop watching old BFI films from around Britain. St Ives 1948. Brighton 1955. London 1981. To name but a few. Here’s the Brighton one: youtu.be/K7Bn27GVvMw

Friday

Having now got into my bed, I cannot fathom at all how or why I got out of it this morning and mortally fear the prospect of ever having to do so again.

The BBC BBCing about The BBC.

Bloody love a bit of Garth 💫 youtu.be/fAx3By62Dr8

it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!

Watching some ‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents’ on Sky Arts to kick Halloween off. 🎃

sorry i was a cloud of bees just now, i'm still figuring out this new amulet

If anybody else gets even HALF as thrilled as I do about having 3 days ahead of me where I have no social commitments, then I am extremely happy for you.

Really enjoyed this. Recommended (if you like this sort of thing). www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

This is a cracking listen. So interesting and well told. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Yes… but with difficulty.

If clocks can go back, why can’t we?

HALF TERM TIME 💫

When the missions in #TheTraitors come on. #CelebrityTraitors

In tonight’s Traitors, Celia shits herself and Jonathan convinces everyone that Claudia is a Traitor. #Traitors #TheTraitors #CelebrityTraitors

Been baking. Latvian pirags. Bready pockets filled with bacon and onion. 🇱🇻

Dean whenever anyone says anything, even if it’s horrible. Poor lad. #MafsUk

Celia Imrie farting is the tv highlight of 2025. 💨 #TheCelebrityTraitors #TheTraitors

Lee Dixon low level chuntering away as if he’s moaning about his lawnmower not working quite as well as it should do or which route is best to take if driving from Edinburgh to Dover and how many roadworks there are on the way. 👩‍🦰🔫 #LATENG #LVAENG

As someone with a Latvian mother, this evening’s football watching will perhaps be more interesting to me than most. 🇱🇻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #LATENG

Top time of it last night with my kids in The Music Room at The Royal Pavilion, Brighton, listening to the fabulous Sussex String Quartet play the music of Hans Zimmer. 💫

Me when anyone asks me to do anything this weekend.

Regard my magnificent photo of Henning Wehn from last night at The Dome in Brighton.

Today I have NOTHING TO DO.

‘Cigarettes are not risk free.’ I am always learning something when listening to #R4Today

Same with lights. Bye.

Heating. It’s always either on or off. Cheers.

Ocado delivery slot just booked for Christmas Eve morning. 🎄 #Saddo

‘Do good hittings!’ I shout out to my son, as he leaves the house for a sparring session at the boxing gym. It’s this kind of motivational speech that made the greats.

Hairdresser appointment and a 40th birthday party today. 💫

The wind! The wind! (Outside).

Watching a Columbo involving William Shatner whilst our roast cooks and the rains slash against the windows. Bloody great family Sunday afternoon. 💫

Gutted for Burnley. #BURLIV

Anyone know who sang the female backing vocals on ‘20th Century Boy’ by T Rex please? They make the track extra exciting imo. Have tried to look it up and failed. (Had a massive poster of Marc Bolan on the back of my bedroom door when I was at Primary school).

Was bought this wine as a gift yonks ago. Wasn’t expecting the bottle to look like this when I removed the paper. The bottle’s all dusty too. Is that for effect? Going in….

TV adverts are some kind of abuse. They shouldn’t be allowed. I don’t wish to be insulted and assaulted by the facile, tasteless pushing of unwanted goods and services. Companies - spend your advertising budget money on something better. Like crisps.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

Watching ‘The Third Man’ with my son. He’s never seen it before.

Alarming.

Two days left of my holidays so to make the most of it I spent today watching videos of massive waves in the sea, plane crashes, a Twitter thread of vids that might cause megalophobia and bought a Lulu Guinness bag I don’t need.

Listening to a dramatisation of Marcel Proust’s ‘In Search of Lost Time’ whilst doing the gardening. 🤓 🪴
