It started 4 years ago with a @GylesB1 tweet, which I replied to. @sukylady3 liked my reply, followed me, and I followed her. Then we got talking. Then we met. Then we fell in love, and on Thursday we’re getting married. Thanks Gyles, and thanks Twitter.

Watching Rick Stein and he’s talking hairy crabs. And I’m finding it funnier than I should.

This is lovely. And gives me hope.

Lovely unscripted moment this morning in the Welsh Parliament as a brilliant young choir from Ysgol Treganna in Cardiff - singing Safwn yn y Bwlch in rehearsal - bump into the Prime Minister (watch their reaction at the end 🎶)

Started the week with another blood test, so it seems only fair to have a latte and bacon roll afterwards.

Barry has a new bed. That he’s completely ignored as he’d rather sleep in a corrugated cardboard bowl.

Down the pub. Dad has a brass ensemble in who are playing popular songs. And very good they are too.
