If you add Sting's bank balance to mine, I'm not skint any more.

My thoughts too.

I’ve not liked her from the beginning. Her ego! Reminds me of smug, arrogant older women in my life!

Jessie is just the best - so much care for Reece #Traitors

#DuvetKnowItsChristmas is also a great hashtag to check out on Christmas Eve/Day for some smiles. Some unlikely and fun sleeping places for people visiting others at Christmas. Here's one of my favourites from last year.

Your annual reminder that if you want someone to chat or have a laugh with over the Christmas period there will be lots of folk on the #JoinIn and #DuvetKnowItsChristmas threads. 🎄

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

This time of year is fucking hard. The holidays are a fertile ground for dark thoughts. Loneliness can drown you, even when you're surrounded by people. Take care of yourself. If you feel like you're drowning in darkness, please talk to someone. Friend, family, stranger. Anyone.

You deserve love.

Ah really! Thank you.

I’m 66 & can’t believe I’ve only just discovered it. x

Happy Winter Solstice ❄️

Make sure to get outside today, make use of every bit of daylight we have and when the night comes, know that tomorrow will be that little bit lighter 🙌🏻

Kate Winslet is talking to @laurenlaverne.bsky.social on this morning's #DesertIslandDiscs! 10am on Radio 4

Door 21 of Shedvent: the Winter King, in his crown of green oak and mistletoe and red holly berries; here to welcome you to his hall. He hands you a bottle the size of your thumb, closed with an acorn stopper. "Here, on the heels of the longest night, is a gift of light: use it well. And shine..."

I love summer but the winter solstice is my favourite day

The lowest point of the year, but knowing tomorrow the days will be on the turn

This quote from Camus is not necessarily optimism or denial. But rather joy as an act of resistance in a world that seems dark & cold

Aren't you glad they released the E████ ███?

As a retired teacher I never banned his books… but I sure as hell never recommended them, or had them in my classroom, or read them to a class.

@lisaholdsworth.bsky.social watching MM - only just discovered it. Love the time taken to tell a tale, the fairly gruesome happenings & the killer explaining their motivation at the end. This ep you wrote… Red In Tooth & Claw. Got some stellar actors in. Seems a lot of actors cut their teeth on MM.

I know who my winner is if I want to dance their dance & if I get tears. Got both. Kaz & Carlos were worthy winners. And I love that Carlos said he wanted to be a better dancer & person because of Kaz.

A glitter-ball party here - we all want Karen & Carlos to win! She has improved & excelled the most. And Carlos is so sweet… saying that Kaz makes him a better dancer. #SCD #Strictly

Right, she may have played for Birmingham City (and sadly not Aston Villa) but can you all vote for Karen Carney this evening on #strictly.

Not least because she has the most beautiful Brummie accent, and she is an absolute star and deserves to win outright.

Who brings a tear?
Who makes me want to do their dance?
That’s my winner.
Kaz!
And Carlos. #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing #SCD
