Just made a coffee so strong I can see WiFi.

Quentin Wilson told me not to buy a TVR. I wish I’d listened to him.

I’m very sad to hear the news that one of the all-time great automotive journalists & broadcasters, Quentin Willson, has died, aged 68. He was clever, engaging & friendly, & we’ll not see his like again. Here he is on #TopGear in ’98. #RIPQuentinWillson https://t.co/84WG4GPlg8

I don’t think Johannes can ever win because he’s too good against the amateurs.

Do the high notes. Dare you.

Stunned at how well the dancer is doing in the dancing show.

You can have a Star Bar for breakfast. It’s allowed. I don’t know why we don’t do it more.

I am in Durham of all places.

Tomorrow I am heading north on a road trip. Proper north. Midge north.

Taskmaster is the Sugarbabes of comedy. If nobody’s asked you yet, it might be time for a rethink.

AFFORD the house of your dreams by simply hanging an upside-down Union Jack halfway up a nearby lamppost. @TwopTwips

Strictly has conned us into thinking average dancers with a soundalike music track is good telly. It was the bit we groaned at on Top of The Pops.

I no longer trust shoes without a commando sole.

I’m drying my hiking boots by the log burner and eating a toffee apple. I’m going to have a hot bath with a gin & ginger, slather myself in cocoa butter then watch Traitors in an oversized dressing gown. Anyone who says aging sucks is probably doing parkruns and drinking matcha.

I bought some Kerrygold cinnamon and maple butter today, and some crumpets. Friday nights in your 50s are pretty special.

All trainers are awful. This is Big Shoe reminding me that I should be wearing Crocs and Ecco.

Seeing a lot of VPN adverts this week.

The next village is having a party. Music, ale etc. There will be some ‘younger siblings’ born in 9 months.

I watched the second series of The Gold and I think it was better than the first. By combining real-life plot points into single characters they created space for a bit more arty stuff. You should watch it. #film25

I think, on balance, I prefer chilly evenings in front of the log burner.
