I don’t want to be cynical or pessimistic, but it’s difficult in such gloomy times. Can I find a way to tap into my playful side?

What does a new widow do on NYE? She listens to @BBCRadio2, opens a bottle and toasts her amazing husband. Courageous, wise, strong, creative and never dull. They didn’t call him the Pirate for nothing. Above all - the most devoted loving husband. Pls raise a 🥂to Johnnie Walker

Really enjoyed the @bbcshowstours "With Great Pleasure at Christmas with Jo Brand" I even got to speak to Jo herself but I forgot to take a selfie 🤦♂️. The band @policedoghogan were amazing with the live music. @alandaviescomic and @Isysuttie were great too.
