Very pleased with my haul. 📚 Starting with the Christmas ghost stories

The Room in the Tower was great up until the tacked on ending. Gatiss does it every time and it never adds anything to the story. Loved seeing Nancy Carroll though.

Have you ever wondered what a review of the year would be like if it was written by a halfwit who spends too much time on here? WELL... Historian John Julius Norwich used to publish a ‘Christmas Cracker’ of stuff he collected each year from history and literature. I do the same, but stupider

At night time when they all have gone The book of Kells cries and cries and cries because it is a book and nobody is allowed to touch it

Socks for December: Self-drafted vanilla pattern, knitted TAAT in West Yorkshire Spinners Signature Sparkle in Yuletide. 🧶

Haven't seen this in decades but I still say Ur-rhug-away whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Listened to episode. I think I need to buy wardrobe door locks 😱

I have ordered a Fanny Craddock card to keep all for myself. I love it so much!

Saw A Midsummer Night's Dream at The Sam Wanamaker this afternoon. It's twisted, dark and disturbing. I absolutely adored it. Sergo Vares as Puck is mesmerising and sinister. The stand-out performance in a very strong cast. Am booking to go back and see it all again!

“Get out of my fucking seat.”

Post something random or you'll have an awful December

Me flirting

Socks for November. Pattern is Hermione's Everyday Sock and the yarn is Yarnsmith's Sock in Clowning Around. Knitted for a friend with size 5 feet. So much faster than the enormous 8s I have to knit for me! 🧶

My class did a Mary Rose project in primary school. We went on a trip to the museum and the WHOLE class then mentioned the Bastard Calverine cannon at every possible opportunity. I even bought a model cannon as a souvenir so I could carry on saying it at home. 😆

Fun prank: Release 3 pigs numbered 1, 2 and 4 into a supermarket. Then when everyone's busy looking for pig 3, release pigs 5 to 807

Satis House comes to Bristol. Red Rope's Great Expectations this evening at Arnos Vale cemetery. Very enjoyable - made me realise that I haven't read the novel in years.

Nothing says cool with the kids like some floral wheelie bin numbers

Where's your fucking poppy?

Think these are the cutest stitch markers I have ever owned 🧶

Clenching my teeth as they all mispronounce McGrath in #SisterBoniface You'd think a nun in 1950s England would have known enough Irish people to get it right 😆

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE SECOND INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE OVER ZOOM TO MEET MORE OF THE TEAM UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL ON THIS OCCASION, BUT WE HOPE YOU'LL APPLY FOR FUTURE POSITIONS WITH THE VAMPIRE

Another pair of socks for October: The pattern is But, First Socks in a hand-dyed merino DK. Knitted TAAT using magic loop. Getting the cast off loose enough reminded me why I hate toe-up sock knitting 🧶

It's St Crispin's day. Buy some new shoes, give your old ones to the poor, and rev yourself up with this motivational message: youtu.be/A-yZNMWFqvM?...

Emailed Royal Mail to ask why we've had no deliveries for over week. They closed the query without responding and then sent me a survey to check how they had done. Marvellous 🫤
