So did the European team think they’d won on Saturday and go out drinking…? Or did the US team just keep their heads and dig deep? Bit of both? I don’t follow golf, and don’t really care, but that result was remarkable!

If the casting vote changes each week the name should be announced prior to the dancing, just to be clear. Otherwise it might look a bit like a way to manipulate the result. #Strictly

Sound on 💕 #Dogs

Just in the Waitrose app and noticed they have released Christmas delivery dates already. No wonder I can never get one when I remember to look in November. Why don’t they advertise this, though, to give us all a fair chance? Grr.

I have the strongest admiration for Deborah Haynes and even more after reading this extraordinary story about her experiences with aHUS and the brilliant medical teams who have helped to save (and evacuate!) her - she will be on Sky News in 10 mins to talk about it. news.sky.com/story/critic...

Susan, Susan… the reason you got involved in the whole George/prison thing was because of a whole bunch of lies. Starting his release with more intra-family lies doesn’t seem like a good way to go. #TheArchers

I’m not sure why HF is still struggling when Adam is full time in Stella’s job, Brian is doing what he always did, and Ruairi is now helping. I suppose there may be a little catching up to do, but it’s hardly an ongoing disaster of shorthandedness. #TheArchers

I have given in and started watching Downton Abbey out of sheer curiosity. Maggie Smith was given all the best lines and delivered them with panache. 👏

Waiting for the solar installation guys to turn up… (tbf it is raining!)

Listening again, as I fell asleep earlier. How can Jazzer safely paddle board if he can’t swim? 🤷‍♀️ #TheArchers

Armand Duplantis is an extraordinary human being! 👏👏👏👏

Outstanding innings from Phil Salt! 👏👏👏 #ENGvSA 🏏

Stage 1 of Operation Solar Panels partially complete. The scaffolders need to come back to finish off as they didn’t have the gear they needed to do the side. They said that would be tomorrow… Hope it is, as installation work starts on Monday!

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it 😱

I really don’t like Pip’s approach to this dog. The dog just took the toy and didn’t want to give it back. That isn’t aggression, it’s being a bloody dog. Train the dog, include Rosie in the training, keep the soft toys out of the way. And don’t give the woman you love ultimatums #TheArchers

Rule 1 - don’t put your toys where dog can get them. Rule 2 - if dog gets toy (or anything they shouldn’t have), tell a grown up. Rule 3 - don’t shout or get over excited around a guarding dog (Ben! Should know better and set better example!). #TheArchers 1/

She may be 3yo now, but Tillie still passes out like a tired puppy! ❤️ #dogs

When we moved, we agreed that any £ from selling off our hoard of stored ‘maybe useful one day’ things would go into a fund for a new camera. The day has come! Off to the Big City to have a look, and OH is very excited.

I just sold my car. It always makes me very sad to say goodbye to one. Thank you, Floozie, you were a great motor ❤️😥

Amber showed us a little more of herself this evening, by telling Brad a very sanitised version of what happened with Kate. She is either shame-avoidant (in which case, good luck, George) or completely self-absorbed, but I can’t work out which. #TheArchers

I don’t understand why Lynda gave the power back to Lawrence by not announcing the pay to play scandal herself. #TheArchers

414-5? Well done, England. Now, c’mon… 🍿 #ENGvSA 🏏

And not just school uniforms…

Someone from Reform on tv (shocker!) basically just said that when F***** says things he’s being party political and doesn’t mean it.

Before everyone barges into their boss’s office to denounce them as a dickhead, I remind you that employment tribunal decisions are not binding on anyone other than the parties to the particular case. Proceed at your own risk.

Reposting with a direct link as the one below didn’t work for me. It makes me happy to see work being done to counter some of the misleading reporting in MSM.

Just listened to this. A very personal look at how neurodivergent brains struggle with sleep. The concept of safety is quite thought-provoking…

The electrician who installed our EV charger has to come in the house. So now my asthmatic lungs are wheezing from the ‘tradesperson stench’ of too much fricking aftershave/deodorant. But I have a charger! Wooppee! And a date for our solar installation!

I’ve just discovered that singing to a smart bulb to the tune of Barwick Green is effective 🎶

I just watched the first episode of The Guest. It’s a bit disturbing for a variety of reasons, not least Eve Myles’s portrayal of a very strange woman.

I don’t think Maisie is impressed with my recorder rendition of Barwick Green 🎵 🪈 #TheArchers

Do I have any builder/DIY peeps following me? I’ve just had some concrete slabs installed and want to paint them before the solar batteries are installed on them. Is there a good type of paint for this? Would Sandtex do it?

This miniature rose was pathetic and struggling for about five years in a pot. It seems to enjoy being in the ground!

I’m returning a pair of £40 trainers I got from Amazon. They ask why. Too large. Do you want to keep them and get a partial refund of… £3.41? 🥴🤔🥴🙄

I’ve been busily digging up the corner plot I planted last year 😩. Sad but necessary, to make way for our solar batteries. I’ve managed to save the plants to pots while the work is done, then I shall review.

And if you need seed, I have found in the past that this is a great supplier!

Been to the Big City for Covid boosters. Got lost. Asked a slightly scowling, bored-looking teen for directions ‘tell you what, I’ll take you’! Which he did. Had a lovely chat, too. Never judge a book… Off to collect our new car now

An app should not need you to confirm cookies every time you open it 😡 Yes, Audible, I’m looking at you. If you become unusable because of such nonsense, I *will* dump you.

My kitchen smells delicious!

My Victorian ink bottle posy kits are now in my shop👇 Some have sold which is fantastic but maybe due to financial climate not as many as usual. I know it's cringey to ask for support but I'm trying to get back on my feet after being v unwell-a RT would help so much x🌿 www.etsy.com/uk/shop/silv...

This layer of toms is about 10cm deep. Freezer bags it is then! ❤️

My body can’t seem to decide whether the weather is cool enough for autumn clothes or not. Layers it is…

Am I the only one who finds the idea of Fallon saying she’s ok living with a loud, messy child a bit out of character? In fact, given that she’s been enjoying her alone time, this is all a bit odd. #TheArchers

Bullying behaviour is so often a front. #TheArchers

Brad is doing a good job of facilitating this. #TheArchers

Why does Amber think that Chelsea has time for this while she is at work? #TheArchers

I’m glad that George is dampening Amber’s anti-Chelsea narrative, rather than stoking it. But Chelsea still needs to understand what happened so she can apologise properly. #TheArchers

Do we think Zainab might be the one to challenge Amber’s thinking, particularly her hatred of Chelsea? She’s very much a ‘let’s sort this out’ type of girl… #TheArchers

Looking at EVs again. We thought we knew which one we wanted and went to the dealer today to check dog crates would fit before we bought. Nope. Back to square one. Sigh.

Data centres to be expanded across UK as concerns mount
