Just think, in around 10 weeks’ time we’ll start seeing the first early daffodils, and the days will become very slightly noticeably longer.

Instagram , Twitter and Threads accounts all suspended…. I have no idea why! Anyone else come across this? Should I find it sinister? Is someone out to get me?!

Remember when Jimmy Sav*le was on Celebrity Stars In Their Eyes as Ziggy Stardust?

Trumpty admits he’s finding it difficult to deal with Ukraine. Like we hadn’t noticed. Stupid orange quim.

If any good comes out of this, I think Trump has just given a big boost to Britain’s chances of rejoining the EU, and fucked the Tories & Reform up the clacker with a pineapple.

Funny how it goes all peaks and troughs here. From Piccadilly Circus to a tumbleweed ghost town within a heartbeat.

Got to love Amazon tracking. Always useful to know that your order has been but one stop away. For the last three hours.

Every now and then I remember that my oh-so straight and conservative dad was rather fond of Sham 69. And it’s easy to see why. Great songs, played brilliantly and one of the all time greatest frontmen. Blimey, I’ve just realised I’m rather fond, too! #Sham69 #JimmyPursey

#BrianMurphy, what a lovely actor. No doubt proud and happy to be known for his most famous roles, but great to read all the obits detailing his career. I loved him as Neville in The Catherine Tate Show, frequenting Irene and Vernon’s burger van for his double cheese. Settle up on Friday.

Off to the grand unveiling of my town’s lovely new mosaic, coordinated by a local artist (I contribute dog paw prints). I hope the local graffiti ‘artists’ stay away.

I treated myself to a new smelly yesterday - Hugo Boss Bottled Absolu. Bloody hell, it’s strong, even for an EDP. Lovely stuff, woody and leathery.

I need help in tracking down an animation - late 80s/early 90s and possibly part of the Channel 4 4mations series. It was mainly black and white and featured a malevolent force or figure, coveting a little girl’s red balloon. YouTube is usually pretty good with this stuff but it’s yielding nowt.

Sorry to over-share, but I just had a cracking piss — quite a thing at my advancing age. Simple pleasures.

I firmly believe that a big mug of tea and a couple of rounds of toast and jam make a totally acceptable dessert.

And just like that, it’s now perfectly okay to make nazi salutes in public. Who’d have thought it would escalate so swiftly. Horrific. I’m glad my parents aren’t here to witness this.

A hint of spring, lightening my mood. Doesn’t take much to make me happy, it’s just that it seldom happens.

Blimey, Jim Bowen means business when he shushes the studio audience, doesn’t he? #Bullseye

This weekend I’m going to make a bacon and leek suet pudden’. I remember that I loved things like this when I was a child. I don’t have a recipe nor have I ever made anything like this before. I’ve watched suet pudden’ recipes on YouTube so I’m going to wing it. Brave or foolhardy?

Why do some mornings see my teeth brushing routine result in veritable waterfalls of foaming sputum streaming down my chin and forearm, dripping off my elbow and staining my clothes, while other days it’s contained in my gob…?

Tiny buds beginning to appear on my copper beech tree. A long way to go but hopeful nonetheless.

I think Trumpty Dumpty’s comments on Mariann Edgar Budde’s service are perhaps the most chilling indication of where he’s heading. It kind of tells you all you need to know.

I had the urge to twang a ruler on a desk today, varying the length in an effort to produce a well-known tune, as well as performing the more obvious up and down effect. But I didn’t get round to it. Looks like this is going to now be a tomorrow thing.

I quite enjoy The Bidding Room on BBC1 but the forced wacky ‘antics’ of the dealers makes me cringe so hard that I just accidentally turned myself inside out. Thankfully Nigel Havers and expert Simon save the day. #TheBiddingRoom

Very sorry to learn of Pauline Quirke’s dementia diagnosis. Always enjoyed her performances and had suspected her capacity for seriously dramatic roles was still to be realised. 😞
