Recently went to see #SmallActsOfLove at Glasgow's #CitizensTheatre . What a moving piece of work about the people whose lives were affected by the tragedy of Pan Am 103 - those in the USA who lost loved ones, and those on the ground in Lockerbie - and their mutual healing. Go and see it if you can.

#GranCanaria 2023. A moment of quiet contemplation at the beach. Just after this was taken I was swept off the rock by a wave and had to rescued!

Being unable to concentrate as someone gives you directions because you're so focused on looking like you're paying attention.

I really don’t want to sound like that miserable old git but, please, can we come up with a safer way of celebrating the new year than with fireworks? There’s a very strong, gusty wind and I don’t want my (or anyone’s) house to catch fire. Firework displays were cancelled for this reason. Be safe.

It used to be a Christmas tradition for our whole family to go down the pub, come home after a few hours and deck the halls. To be honest I’m surprised the Halls carried on living next door for as long as they did.

I’ve just seen a witch and a lion trying to carry a huge wardrobe into the house next door - I asked what they were up to and they said "Narnia business".

I don’t know how to stress this enough to the culprits, but when you look at an item on a supermarket shelf, your trolley does not need to turn out sideways across the whole aisle at the same time.

Word of the morning is ‘williwaw’ (19th century): a sudden violent squall or a toppling gust of wind. Goes well with ‘thunderplump’: a sudden downpour that soaks you to the skin in seconds.

Sounds like a couple who’ve written a letter to the Telegraph about how they can only go skiing once a year because school fees have gone up
My hand holding a jar of Tesco Finest ‘Alphonso Mango & Apricot
Chutney’. I didn’t subsequently buy the jar of chutney, I only took this photo of it for comedy purposes. I do this quite a lot in supermarkets and it annoys my partner.
