Fair scunnered, most of the time. I like interesting people, learning new stuff and polite discourse - but if you’re after my money or my body, probably best you don’t bother following me as I have none of the former and the second is knackered.

Is anyone else having problems with their emails since the latest iPad update?

Why are some people far better at “putting on their own oxygen mask first” than others? I’m thinking of those of us who “just do this first - and that next - and attend to so-and-so - and that machine needs emptied/dealt with - then I’ll be able to eat/drink/go to the loo”. #thirstyhungrybustin

Anyone up for a wee protest? Have you seen this @sturdyalex.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social

Having a bit of a declutter and keep finding unfinished pieces of embroidery, ruined by rust marks from stuck needles. #donotleaveaneedleinyourwork Apart from that, quite a therapeutic activity for a wet afternoon.

It’s gratifying how much more time in my day there is without Xitter pulling me in and leading me down worrying rabbit holes. #GoodDecision

Have decided, like so many of you, to pull the plug on my Xitter account. What’s the best way to do this? Should I delete everything before closing? Or just lock up and stick the keys thru the letter box?

For anyone who may need these over Xmas…just in case

So far, so UnWhammed! I usually go off to Whamhalla in the first week of December. #Whamageddon

#RFA Fingers are a bit swollen but I stupidly put my rings on - and then couldn’t remove them. Pondering a visit to the jewellers to get them cut off then remembered seeing a trick with a ribbon. Reader, it works!

It’s that strange time of year when I’m almost too late getting the Xmas cards out, mainly cos CBFA, but am enjoying receiving them and catching up on news from old friends

Sorry, all you clothing retailers, but your advertising is falling on deaf ears. I do not need a special, new frock for Xmas Day as I will be spending it in a comfy jumper and trackie pants. Oh the glamour!

So delighted that Dan Merriman awarded Masterchef Prof trophy 3 brilliant finalists - amazing chefs and lovely people #NoYou’reCrying

Re BBC Masterchef Please can we have Ed Gamble as the non-chef presenter? He knows about food and has proven track record on Great British Menu.
