QOTD: Funny how the people who make the biggest difference in your life are often the ones who don’t even realise it. A random message, remembering something you said weeks ago or just checking you’re alright. If someone came to mind reading this, maybe tell them. ❤️

QOTD: Not everything needs fixing. Sometimes things just need a bit of time. We’re so used to wanting answers straight away that we’ve forgotten how to leave things alone. Not every problem needs a meeting, a spreadsheet or seventeen WhatsApp messages. #QuoteOfTheDay

QOTD: It’s funny how we’ll forgive other people for making mistakes but spend years beating ourselves up over our own. You did what you thought was right at the time. Maybe you got it wrong. Maybe you made a complete bloody mess of it. You’re allowed to move on too. #QuoteOfTheDay

QOTD: We spend so much time looking forward to the next big thing that we forget how lovely the boring bits can be. A laugh with someone you love, a decent dinner, getting home and putting your feet up. Sometimes a bloody ordinary day is all you need. ❤️ #quoteoftheday

Lovely news this morning. George Soros has personally donated me €1.5 million. Unfortunately, his foundation appears to be operating from a random Brazilian email address and a Gmail account. Times must be tough for billionaires. 😂

A 1957 wedding album was found dumped outside a café in Wakefield. Instead of binning it, the owners and a local history detective tracked down the couple’s son, who thought he’d lost those photos forever. Some people are just lovely. ❤️ theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

This little robin was chatting away until I got my phone out. Then absolute silence. The Robin only starts singing again in the last 10 seconds. Fun fact: Robins sing all year round, even in winter. Apparently they have more to say than most of us. Just not on camera. ❤️

Just to reassure everyone, I haven’t been hacked. The mushroom post was genuinely me. 😂 Apparently I’ve reached an age where I find fungi fascinating and feel the need to share that with the internet. I appreciate your concern during this difficult time. 🍄

Scientists in China have discovered a giant fungus called D-rex. It can grow to 50cm tall and weigh 2.2kg. That’s not a mushroom, that’s a bloody house pet. 😂🍄 Imagine finding that growing behind your shed. I’d be charging it rent. frontiersin.org/news/2026/10…

A UK charity challenged people to do 1,000 little acts of kindness. They managed 1,651. Making someone a brew, checking on a mate, helping an elderly relative. Nothing groundbreaking. Just people being decent. ❤️ bheta.co.uk/news/rainy-day-t…

A missing German Shepherd walked into a Florida police station. Officers joked he was applying to join the K9 unit. No vacancies, so they sent him home. Imagine your dog going missing and coming back unemployed. 😂 Might send Phoebe out to earn her keep! 🤔 petrescuereport.com/2026/los…

Forget Paris Fashion Week. Over 3,000 sausage dogs took over the Champs-Élysées for a charity parade. Thousands of tiny legs and questionable outfits. This is the sort of world news I want every morning. 😂🇫🇷 paradepets.com/pet-news/dach…

Apparently @X has relocated my account to Nigeria. News to me, considering I’m sitting in London. Someone’s already shared this claiming my account is fake. I’ve asked @Support to correct it, but how can a platform publish inaccurate information and leave users to deal with the reputational damage?

BREAKING: King’s Cross have let me out on day release. I’ve made it as far as Newcastle. Nobody seems to have noticed I’m missing yet. If anyone asks, I’m conducting a very important cross-border investigation into Greggs and the availability of decent gravy. 😂

I sometimes wonder if social media has made us angrier or just given our anger somewhere to go. We see a headline, form an opinion and start arguing with strangers before we’ve even read the article. When did being first to react become more important than actually understanding something?
