After freezing my bits off at the start of the @OfficialBigHalf and getting home afterwards, it was a pleasure wrapping up in a big coat, scarf and hat this morning.
I might wear them all summer
I don’t think I’ve ever experienced wind as strong as it was today around Canada wharf
I’ll let you make your own jokes about that
Much as I enjoyed the #BigHalf, when I am Prime Minister I shall have every cobble stone in the nation ripped up and replaced with smooth, level tarmac

I’m sure both parents and teachers of school age children would embrace these extra learning opportunities

Now that our kids are grown up I would like to say that i think #worldbookday is a bit unfair
There should also be a world geography day where kids wear national costumes, a world history day where they dress as historic characters, a chemistry day where they dress as an element t.co/wszI7M5io…
#TodayILearned that the most successful British girl band who played instruments was We’ve Got a Fuzzbox and We’re Going to Use It
They were fab
#TodayILearned that Barack Obama has nearly twice as many Twitter followers as the current President
“You’re can say there’s a one-in-a-million chance, but if there are 500 million tweets a day, you’ll get 500 one-in-a-million episodes daily”

“I’ve looked it up, I’ve done 50,000 tweets and I have to say not all of them were as well judged as they could have been”
