Tragically, 'Kumbaya, My Lord' as my daughter has been singing it for hours for some unknown reason.
All together now..."Kumbaya, my lord.....kumbaya..."

Anyone who uses 'super' in that way (I'm super excited, super happy, super thrilled) will immediately get treated like the 5-year-old-at-a-birthday-party that they clearly aspire to be.

We were planning to go to the US for the World Cup as our summer holiday. That's off the table now, so we're going to Canada instead and catch a few games there.
It's a shame not to be able to show the family some of the places I love in the US but why go somewhere where we'll feel unwelcome?

I was once stuck on a plane with just a single book that I literally could not finish.
Primarily because about 350 pages in, the text seemed familiar.
That was because they'd reprinted pages 200-300 and boom, that was it. A 450 page book that managed to end on page 300.
Devastated.

If, like me, you still find 'Fairytale' a little too upbeat and positive(!), then may I direct your to either Chris Rea's 'Joys of Christmas' or even better, Tom Waits' 'Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis'.
You don't tend to hear those in your local shopping emporium, for some reason.

Agree. I always feel that Paul McCartney could ALWAYS do better than the stuff he actually put out.
Even Live Let and Die is only half a fantastic track. The other bits....

Ah, I think that was meant for my (unpublished and as yet unwanted) YA novel.
If you could redirect it to me, that would great! 😁

The trek would be arduous, the weather hard and the dangers plenty. Yet, if we were to survive, I saw no other path.
I felt my son squeeze my hand. I looked down into his inquisitive eyes. "Yes, my child?"
"Daddy? Are you sure we can't just phone Deliveroo for our tea?"

Reason for asking is that I'm often underwhelmed by the finished result of my studio sessions, even though I love them at the time.
So I'm looking for something 'special'!

Does he count? More flame-haired, I guess. 🤔

I specifically hired those guys on an exclusive basis and this is how I find out they're moonlighting?

I suspect his team will rotate faster than a Sugababes line-up.

He did it on today's show.
It'll no doubt lead to shouts of 'two tier social media use' or some similar bollocks.

The last time I made soup using chicken bones, and it had reached the height of culinary perfection after several hours of loving effort, I strained it directly over the sink, sending the soup down the plughole and leaving me holding a colander full of tasty and nutritious chicken bones.

Hello - will go and find you on Threads now.
This social media stuff is all very confusing isn't it. I can barely remember my own name most days, let alone what I'm called on any given patch of the interweb....
