My word of the day today is ‘rowdy’.

Yesterday I went to Gloucester,

In several showers of rain

There were plenty of puddles,

Right up to my middle,

But I’ll hopefully go there again, because it was quite nice t.co/FtX9faZmG…

It doesn’t happen very often…but there should be a word for the slightly uneasy feeling you get when a bit of code you’ve just written unexpectedly works first time

I went to a work thing today which was held at the local @odeon

It seemed odd not to be told to “turn off your mobile phones, finish your conversations and get ready….it’s about to begin”

<Rabbi Lionel Blue voice> Twitter…is a bit like life, really twitter.com/RoylePin/…

My word of the day today is ‘bliss’.

Really looking forward to this episode of @YFBSpod….and I definitely need to find a ‘Boomer Punk’ T-shirt t.co/Y1E6tHqkK…

This one will probably need to be a bit bigger than Boris' much-loved Garden Bridge

I’m sure he’s factored that in www.scotsman.com/news/poli…

Went running yesterday and I’ve got to say Storm Ciara in Salisbury was about 20% of the madness of the wind blowing around Canary Wharf during last year’s @OfficialBigHalf

My word of the day today is ‘blustery’.

‘Box sets’ now area bit like ‘albums’ used to be.

The ‘box’ has long gone, as was the ‘album’

This is what an ‘Australian-style’ trade deal means.

No access at all to the single market, but we would still be in Eurovision
