Not entirely on purpose. I didn't post for a while and now I can't seem to get in anymore. I prefer here, but I have left people on Twitter I liked.

And: of all the wonders of modern science I think about most often it's now hot water bottles keep warm all night until the morning now. As a child, it would stay warm half the night if you were lucky. #duvets

A couple of observations: I've been eating boiled eggs at my desk for years now, but frankly, they're not a good desk food. #eggonmyclothes

@marcusbrig.bsky.social @Rachel Parris Brill podcast. Now I know why I prefer to hear comics discussing their craft than actually watching their craft. On a gameshow it's just a bit fake.

Watching the Wallace and Gromit fillers and wondering about having a Christmas jumper with 'Ho' on it. Maybe stick to the UK

this is a lot of fun. Do give it a listen. It's not too long and you could write cards at the same time.

It is once again that time of year when every Books Dad gets absolutely bodied by Molesworth.

Nigel Molesworth on A Christmas Carol. "There is something about the xmas Carol which makes paters and grown-ups read with grate XPRESION, and this is very embarassing for all."

Does anyone else enthusiastically put lights up in an empty room to amuse passers by and then think, nah, when it comes to leaving the fireside to go and put them on?

A very Christmassy day. More decorations brought down from the attic. Have booked the grandchildren to decorate the tree at the weekend. It's just not my job.

love your podcast. I listen to a lot of podcasts by comics to see how it's done. Still don't know, but enjoy it anyway.

We had had this for years as our children are all grown up. But last year we had a houseful. Two small children and their parents. It was utter chaos. I loved it!

Katie Fforde @kfforde.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

It is odd not having them around. And not in a good way!

Confess to missing this time last year when the house was full of my son and his two children. It was noisy and messy and Escape to the Country was a treat, but now it's too grown-ups being tidy and quiet.

do you have your tree where you can see it all the time? Or in a larger, cooler space where you can see it as you come up the hill? we have this discussion every year.

Absolutely! I do wish they'd had them when I was a child.

I think it's a sort of Tourettes. They see a woman and offensive language comes out.

I was feeling proud of my group, middle class women of a certain age, when I realised I'm not of that certain age. I am far older! (still proud of the uppity women though.)

I think this will be on later today. If you don't know me, but follow me, this is your opportunity to realise your mistake! (I am nicer than I sound!)

Breaking out the heated blanket in my office. I held off for ages as it was in a box and I thought it would be a really easy present to wrap, should anyone want it. Had already given my GD one (in use already!) so it's just me. Big moment.

I did enjoy myself. Thinking of you today! I'm having trouble downloading my advent calendar. `Luckily I have 'young people' and so have hope and help. xxx

They call those ancient stone treads you find on Barrowcross Moor 'Faery Steps'. Few will climb them, for the superstition is strong that you can never be sure which world awaits you at their top. – #CLNolan

there are many reasons why I hate 'gift' as a verb but one of them is the fact I misunderstand things. I still thing 'most gifted' means 'most talented.' Often disappointed.
