Cancer changes you forever. Even if you’re lucky enough, like me, to have the type of cancer that can be cured. Your body is not the same. Life is not the same. It can feel very isolating when friends and family don’t understand this. #graphicmedicine #cansky

#Tooting's St George's Hospital in bloom! There's a fantastic explosion of colour at our local hospital, thanks to Head Gardener John Greco, and the St George's Gardening Team – well worth a look!

There will be people I met this evening who may doubt I already had these on my bedside pile, but it's all true, I'm buzzing I got to speak to the super-talented people I did tonight! [Not sure I shd link both in same post, but you know who you are🏛.] For now, thank you @nikitagill.bsky.social !

@thecatreviewer.bsky.social #TheCatReviewer Had to reach through railings to rub the tummy of this tiger soaking up the sun. 10 for friendliness, but -2 for inaccessibility: 8/10. [She wants to keep her wits about her: under nearby bush is where the fox family sleeps in the daytime.]

Yet another discussion of renewables and electrification on #BBCRadio4 #BBCR4Today (in this case EV private cars) with out a mention of “in flats”. sigh ~20% of households would have few (and only more expensive) options to charge EV.

This time last year I was recording the audiobook of Taking Flight, and I was just congratulating myself for absolutely nailing the pronunciation of ‘Yinpterochiropterans’ when I stumbled over the word ‘bat’.

Can someone who isn't me do a feature on spending a week using non-US alternatives to Google, X, Meta, Amazon etc etc, and tell us what it's like? I just need to see one person successfully doing it to jump.

Oh poor poor Clarrie. Eddie, you’re not helping if Clarrie’s ‘travel’ experience emphasises a coach trip to Manchester ten years ago, you’re just rubbing it in how limited life with the Grundys has been. #TheArchers

Whatever else is going on w Rochelle, I think the thing abt her not replying to Rex’s texts is being overplayed, and is verging on the ick. They were not ever together. Why does she have to explain or respond to intrusive messaging? She owes him nothing. Others? Maybe. Rex? No. #TheArchers

Turning off #BBCR4Today because while she may have freedom of speech and is broadcasting to the nation, there is nothing which says I have to listen.

My skills always more in the scoring dept, but isn’t the way sports teams work that entire squad trains together, week-in, week-out, some are selected for matchday? All this “What are you doing at nets, you’ve been dropped” sounds like SW less familiar w village cricket even than me. #TheArchers

The rule of law is democracy's last shield, that's why would-be strongmen or women - from Trump to Le Pen, Orban and Erdogan to Netanyahu, work so hard to undermine it www.ft.com/content/85c8...

Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon seem like nice enough people, but I'm not sure what the BBC is doing with any show of this sort, and on BBC1 at prime time? Really? Really? Other channels do this sort of thing and better. To think they cancelled new content for BBC4. Sheeeesh.

Flippin' eck, Lillian, bringing up the e-coli after all these years, about a decade of food-handling work since that event, what does a person have to do to redeem themselves round here? Also, LILIAN spouting ageist sniping... LILIAN!!! #TheArchers

For some reason I can't re-set iPlayer to get rid of the BSL signer. I've checked the accessibility features, and they're all switched to Off. I realise it’s an important option, but it's not for me as it makes the visible screen smaller. Grrrrr.

I would have thought that the senior Maliks would have known about the GG disaster since Adil’s job for months was the restoration / refurb. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #TheArchers

God help me. Trying to use the interweb to look up who is translator of Penguin Vintage Classics edition of #TheLeopard, what editions currently in print, searched several ways, and [because I’m 50-sth?] bloody Google offered me: “Is leopard print tacky or classy”. We are all doomed. #IlGattopardo

Bonkers convo, Neil and Eddy. Companies House info check. Online. Free. You don’t have to ask your mate if Martin Gibson’s on the board. And don’t you come back at me to say, how would the ‘umble Ambridgian know… loads of them have small businesses and manage company registrations. #TheArchers

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?
