@jk_rowling I lost my Mum when I was 13.
If I reach 74 I will have lived longer than anyone in my family!
I’ve survived a cardiac arrest so I celebrate getting older, too.

@JaneyGodley Bless you - she won’t be forgotten. Although I’m not in Scotland, I will think of you all and pay my respects to your Mum tomorrow.

[Mary Keates @2009mtk]

@exitthelemming So very, very sad for the loss of your wonderful father. You and your family are very much in my thoughts - I live 5 minutes from his beloved K&A canal!

[Mary Keates @2009mtk]

@MichaelRosenYes @BookStroud Used around canals in the West!

@RealSirTomJones @PoppyLegion @BBCiPlayer Wonderful!

@JaneyGodley RIP Janey
Despite knowing it was imminent, I feel such sadness that Janey Godley has died. Never met her but her story and humour were wonderful. She “said” exactly what we were thinking. A marvellous lady and thousands of us will miss her. Condolences to her family.

@JaneyGodley Oh Janey. We will miss your witty observations, fights against arseholes and lovely smile. Your tweets have an impact. Your courage has taught us about Cancer and how tough and unpredictable it is.
I hope you go gently into that good night - bless you.

@Keir_Starmer The NHS, usually amazing, needs changes to pay/contracts. Some hospitals don’t carry on as normal at weekends - consultants & others out, nurses & junior doctors struggle & can’t get all tests. Backlog would be cut dramatically with change to contracts/sharing weekend work.

@AmazonHelp It just takes you back into the loop

[Mary Keates @2009mtk]

@AmazonUK still waiting. You deliver the wrong order and I’m spending time on your customer service going round in circles. If you deliver the wrong thing surely you should replace it with the item I actually ordered.

[Mary Keates @2009mtk]

@AmazonHelp I followed all of the prompts yet again…this is ridiculous.

[Mary Keates @2009mtk]

@AmazonUK Spent time on your poor help/customer service/complaints system.
I ordered 24 bottles of VOLVIC. The wrong water has been delivered. All I want is what I ordered. Your message is order something. Something different will be sent and we won’t give you what you paid for.

[Mary Keates @2009mtk]

@AmazonHelp I have been doing that, time and time again

[Mary Keates @2009mtk]

@AmazonHelp I followed the link and it just took me back to where I had been trying (unsuccessfully) to get help to receive what I actually ordered! We only like Volvic, the taste of so called Smart Water (what was delivered) is horrible.

[Mary Keates @2009mtk]

@AmazonHelp I have just spent an hour, going round in circles on that very site!
There is a no Returns policy and it would seem that means that I won’t get what I actually ordered.

@BBCSport SPOTY 2024?

[Mary Keates @2009mtk]

@andy_murray Thank you for…making the Olympics better, being the best ever British Tennis Player, bringing me back to watching tennis (lost interest before you began) for always giving your all and never giving up!
Andy Murray, GOAT!

#Olympics2024Paris Using the whole city as one big stadium. Having the “cauldron” suspended so it can be seen from all over the city. Venues with amazing backdrops. Innovation. This is looking great so far, Paris.
