  1. My eyes are like poached eggs. Must sleep. Night x
  2. @ian_rivers Again you did me the honour of a #FF. You are so lovely! I never wake up to it in time to get involved. Promise next week xxx
  3. @Brendan_Surrey Just returned from the Library. May not wake tomorrow. Thought exchange between you and HWMBO was civilised xxx
  4. I'm off to strim and listen to R4. Try to stay off t' royalty. It saps the intellect something chronic :o)
  5. @leblaq That's what I meant about 'dense'! :o)))) Who but an idiot wouldn't have seen you meant 'good' not 'food'. I'm having a dense day. x
  6. Yes @HenriettaGuest! Picking lost causes carefully is sound advice but so difficult to achieve the necessary detachment. I'm off to strim.
  7. @nickinoxford Well obviously! You are above all a beautiful soul :o) xx
  8. guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/…
  9. @HenriettaGuest But it's hard to disobey your instinct if you're as sentimentally foolish as I am, you'd agree.
  10. @leblaq Hoist with my own pétard. Food thing? Today is a dense day :S
  11. @Brendan_Surrey You are a subtle clever sweetheart, I've heard it said :o) xx
  12. Some sense out there guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/…
  13. @HenriettaGuest Now you've made me cry for those left untended :o(
  14. @Brendan_Surrey Send the link to me. Stop with the cédilles :o( Funny thing, I stubbornly cling to the idea of fixing you two. Weird!
  15. @leblaq They rise like a miasma, from innumerable sources, overwhelming my senses. Have you noticed this slight tendency to exaggerate? :o)
  16. @HRWright What a letdown. All that combative ire wasted! :o(
  17. Today I feel embattled, but am happy that I have the sword of righteousness in my hand #abolishthemonarchy
  18. @justinbieber @AlexKRidley There's a sense in which it already is :/
  19. @HRWright Policing speech is but a vain attempt to police thought. #abolishthemonarchy So it's said. Now must come the unfollow! :o)
