@RevRichardColes Reminds me of the time we were just about to start our 1st year RE exam when an almighty clap of thunder shook the building. Gary Wardle shouted, “I’m trying my best.” Forty + years later, still makes me smile.

@SnotSurgeon Almost 30 years ago, when first married, I was debating laminate or real wood for the kitchen unit doors. Salesman said he’d come back when my husband was home as he’d be writing the cheque. I got the real wood for the price of laminate.

@Theresa_Chapple @SusanMichie Right at the very beginning, when we were told about the loss of sense of smell, I worried about the impact of Covid on our brains. My late father lost his sense of smell about thirty years before his Parkinson’s was diagnosed.

@Guy_Garvey @MikeTiffy53 My MP, wish she wasn’t, is OK with it. Part of her response to my email: “Rwanda has a credible track record of hosting refugees…” Surely, when “credible” is the most positive adjective you can come up with, you know it’s not good.

@mrnickharvey About 23 years ago a stranger stopped his car and knocked on my in-laws’ door. He was holding my very young son whom he had seen heading out of the front door, on his own, towards a very busy road.
