Rave, rave, rave against the dying of the light "I never thought I would reach 105. I'm very pleased I have, because I don't feel any different to when I was 100." @hannahalothman.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Any hotel recommendations for a post-wedding holiday in Europe in August? (Not our honeymoon, we’ll go long haul in the winter.) Not mad expensive, but definitely with a pool, and ideally by the sea. Been looking at Malta, Majorca, Madeira, Sicily, Santorini, but open to ideas.

Latest in the Andrew Gwynne & others WhatsApp story. I have spoken to an Anglican priest who he suggested should be “burned on a bonfire.” She has called for the MP to resign. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Bought a lovely art card. Wrote a lovely heartfelt message in it. One of the cats (unsure which) has already vomited on it.

Last week I sat down with the families of Bebe King,6, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, who lost their lives in the attack in Southport last year, to hear about their daughters, and why they were so loved. This is their story - www.thetimes.com/article/8f5e...

This is infuriating. If the government want an easy win for growth and to support pubs, they should change the licensing laws to make noise complaints much harder. www.the-londoner.co.uk/noise-compla...

This is an evergreen call for pitches - and it is a great one for writers without major bylines. Please share with the bartenders, delivery drivers, cater waiters in your life

I was happy to speak to @hannahalothman.bsky.social about women using social media to check out whether men they are seeing are known by other women to be abusive. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Honestly one of the nicest things I’ve ever done for myself is plant some spring bulbs into little tubs. Took hardly any time, cost hardly anything, and brings so much joy. They’re coming up again already, and I am far too excited. Spring will be here before we know it.

If you’ve been fined in the past for having the wrong train ticket, the rail regulator wants to hear from you. A call for evidence closes this week: www.orr.gov.uk/search-consu...

The same happened to me last week, they got away with my bag with laptop right outside Itsu noodles in plain sight, and the station police response was "Sorry nothing we can do it happens all the time, it happened twice yesterday", I dunno maybe do something about it! 🤷 Keep your eyes peeled folks👀
