Really loved the new #Amadeus (although the manipulation of someone's mental health is always distressing to watch) The film is my favourite film so I was a bit wary but it was great. I have small criticisms of both but it's a fascinating story with an amazing score.

Made myself a little pouch on elastic for my #Kobo remote. Hopefully won't have to keep feeling for it down the side of the settee now 😊 #ereader #klc #kindle #ebook #kobolibracolor

Just watched Kubrick's The Killing. Great nonchalant acting and a brilliant watch. (Where were the bricks of cash in that transfer to the suitcase though. Continuity do your job)

Perfect thread. Even as youngsters we knew we were watching art. (plus we all need these clips in our timeline today)

I'm sticking with a Markie goon with a crystal baseball bat. #thearchers

It's a low level hum of disappointment to me that people you want to enjoy/respect have stayed on Twitter (see also family members buying the Daily Fail 🙄) so let's hope the latest Grok crap gets some of them to shift.

Thank god it's all a dream sequence thing. Emma being held hostage at the station when her son is in critical condition and Brian being asked if Rahoorhee looks like Siobhan (so relevant) made me absolutely cringe. Let alone brown sauce on a lasagna. 😬 #thearchers

Had the radio on solidly until a few mins ago (was doing some awful sewing) and no Lillian at 5pm. What is going on? #thearchers

I've never seen the police (in a drama) interview a parent away from a child who might be dying. They always come back a bit later. That interview with Emma was weird. #thearchers

Echo-terrorist, terrorist, terrorist. #thearchers #womenshour

Seeing in the New Year with a champagne ganache bar of choc. (Safer if it hits you in the head) Happy New Year #thearchers gang. Hope 2026 is an absolute rampage for us all.

We had a breath of fresh air by having a walk to the local footbridge. Sums it up really. Happy New Year, everyone. All the best for 2026.

I guess Markie's cronies have caught up with George then. #thearchers Not much rampaging.

Is Brian going to get a rock on the head through the window? #thearchers

Mind you 6 x 5 minutes is half an hour of the main 45 minute programme, so also seems odd.

Ah, well this would make sense as to why they're not mentioned in the Sounds line up for the day. I guess the missing 5 minutes are filled with all that BBC Sounds ident waffle we get.

Can't believe that the @bbcsounds.bsky.social app schedule isn't mentioning #thearchers five minute #TruthandLies slots that occur during the day on New Year's Day. I've had to write myself a list, so I'm sharing it here in case the timings are handy for anyone else.

Back to work today but, as I work from home, I just need to 'snow angel' a space in amongst the Christmas chocs and nuts. Calorie #phasedreturn.

I've been trying today, with Stranger Things but, my goodness, the script. 🤦

Christmas sounds just now - from outside, workmen digging up the pavement as the electrics to the street went bang in the night. - from upstairs, the frantic drag of sellotape through the dispenser. 😁 #christmaseve

Typical 23rd December - 7am trying to panic knit finish some socks with the cat for company (and, this year, the Ghoul Log (👀) from #Fallout) #underpressure

So weird these people. Benefit from vaccines all their lives and then do this. UNICEF must be despairing.

When you've changed the bed (brushed cotton engaged) and bedtime reading is ready to go ☺️🍵 #geezer #kobo #famicon #stormBram

Ted's never see #Platonic. He walked right past that scooter. #F1

Like a 70s wedding photo George is going to regret those track suit bottoms and shoes. #strictly

Highly recommended.

This year's humanist Christmas card just dropped 🙌 Featuring Sir Isaac Newton – ‘father of gravity’ and scientific trailblazer – taking on a very uncooperative Christmas tree. Orders are officially open. Get yours while stocks last. Head to our website to buy now. humanists.uk/shop/product...

George's face at the size of his trophy. #F1

Watching Lando 'coming for' Max 🤭 and those seconds increasing between them, was worth getting up at 3.45 am. Cup of tea and a mince pie bonus. #F1

I love Nikita. He's so watchable when he dances. I hope we never find out anything bad about him, coz he comes over as a really great human.

Did Stringer just suggest that climate change as a part of the human rights agenda is wrong? How short sighted can you be. #wato

Max, what a driver. Such an amazing thing to watch. #F1

That's the nicest rendition of a national anthem I've heard. More like that please. #F1

Unenjoyable Charleston. Looked messy and the music ruined it. Doesn't have to be period music but has be Charleston-cheeky. #Strictly

I've spent the last two or three evenings watching #Task with Tom Pelphrey and @markruffalo.bsky.social It's very, very good with great writing and acting. I really loved it. Everyone was nuanced and already relaxed into their character. Not a duffer among the cast.

Hey fellow #knitting friends a local council put this ad out today (it's genuinely a lovely thing they do, making sure people have warm clothes). Please explain what these objects are and how they might keep you warm 😂 #AyeupAI

WCK's restaurant partner in Jamaica, Mystic Thai, served hundreds of meals today to families who sought shelter from Hurricane Melissa. The Category 5 storm hit as one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record. Our partners are mobilizing to reach the hardest-hit communities. #ChefsForJamaica

Ooh, #totp on #TPTV (typing that correctly hurt my brain a little bit)

I voted for Jimmy - bummer. Please fall over (carefully) Amber. #strictly

Also a shout out to anyone who has a pet glaring at them just now, those with a regular 'bathroom' timetable and #TheArchers omnibus listeners who are already discombobulated from 10am onwards. #clocksgoback #daylightsaving

Shout out to all those people on nights, grinding through the extra hour (esp if you don't get paid for it) Champs, every one. #nightshift #clocksgoback #daylightsaving

La Voix absolutely needs to wear Saturday night's shoes from Monday training onwards. #strictly

Preferred Tiny Chef's version (but then who wouldn't). #Strictly

Dr Weaver in the audience! Yay. #strictly

I was going to finish this cheery sock during my lunch break but someone else is distracting me with their 'lunch stare' . . .

Missed my sweepstake couple in #Strictly as I was watching Piastri and Norris abide by their special no touching Papaya rule in the sprint 😂 #F1

Transitions Jimmy! You need some. Keep dancing, as they say. #Strictly

Great cartwheel for 67 years old but some Charleston steps missing for Stefan, surely? I'm suspicious Shirley deflected with her choreography gush. #strictly (He looks poorly still tho)

Labour has a lot to celebrate this week. Not all of it made the papers, but there was plenty of good news for progressives. 8 important changes:

I don't know who Cynthia is but it seems I've missed the second coming or something. 😏 #Strictly
