My mother’s best friend was a gentle, humble academic. A tiny frail woman started a funeral eulogy for her with:

“I first met X when we were both in the SOE and parachuted together into Rome during it’s liberation in 1944...”

Never underestimate the history of older women... 💪

@munro_nadia Thank you!

Happy New Year 🍾🎉🍾🎉 to the very small, but very select 😂, group of people who interact with me on Twitter. I hope that 2021 is happy and healthy for you, and a helluva lot better than 2020. And thank you for making me laugh & think over this last year.

@TheGrubStreet Thank you!

Oh crikey... My hands & feet have gone blue just reading this.
Much respect to anyone who swims there today. Doesn’t necessarily mean I understand their motives though....

Morning all! On this frosty morning we're looking at water temperatures around 4°C for the Ponds and Lido. If you're hoping to kick off your new year with a swim tomorrow, be sure to take it easy!

@DillieKeane My view won’t be popular but it’s from someone as an immigrant in a country that offers virtually zero info in my mother tongue. I don’t think it’s a govt’s responsibility to give translations in multiple languages. But I hope v much that immigrant community groups will do so.

@moutet @washingtonpost I live in France. I am high-risk. I think the govt’s vaccination programme is entirely insane. Teaching people first about how important it is? Obtaining written consent 5 days before a vaccine is given? Despite <50% of the French approving of vaccination, this strategy is lethal

@Fanclubyleniab @NoSinMisZapatos I don’t understand even my first language when it’s spoken at the speed of #Ylenia!

@lindyloo25
Heard it on the grapevine, so wishing you the happiest of birthdays!

@sally_hines You might think about building a little shed for them in your garden? Line the walls with posters of middle-aged actresses to make them feel at home. And some (not all) of the poor endangered creatures like little knitted or crocheted decorative features too.

@muIderitsme I’m fervently hoping that Reg does not think ‘Mess = Nurse’s Job’. If so, they could usefully be marked for life by the nursing staff!
I am hoping that, like thousands of docs before them, they have received no training whatsoever in the management of bedside pumps & monitors...

@amy_everett_ 😘
I swear your dog has more toys than I had my entire childhood 😂

I suspect the answer to this is “Yesterday. But nobody told me...”

A Riddle:
If today is a Sunday and Boxing Day was a Saturday and you are in Tier 4, then what day is bin day?

The other animals in Golders Hill Park Zoo got some special treats too this Christmas. Here are the Lemurs enjoying their animal friendly 'chocolates' 😋

[Alex Tulip @AlexTulip6]

@WyldeTiger They tasted great didn’t they! But the oral & finger burns - ouch 😳

I was reading about the Collège de France. “The Collège is considered to be France's most prestigious research establishment. Professors....... are chosen by the professors themselves........ in science and the humanities”.
Wiki links to 80 faculty.
*Three* are women...🤷‍♀️

@sapphiccardigan @thewisdomtooth Is that your wedding dress? 🙂

@sassistheword Saw this in a shop in London UK. Gold plate & Swarowski crystals disability scooter. A snip at $60,000!

[Alex Tulip @AlexTulip6]

@MancJules Looks more like a 1st century Ken*ucky Fried Chicken joint 🐓😂

[Alex Tulip @AlexTulip6]

It’s Boxing Day. I do love Christmas, but I want the decorations down today please. Over many years, ❤️ & I have had to come to compromise. All put away January 1st, just the crèche remains to Twelfth Night. Anyone else likes to move on now & put your home back to normal?

[Alex Tulip @AlexTulip6]

@sioncorn Yes - I can understand the risk!
