.@KenyaAirways I’m still waiting for a refund for two cancelled flights in early November, one of which was cancelled in October and one with no prior warning on the day of flying. You have not responded via email, WhatsApp or telephone. Help?

Have tried to explain the concept of a “man look” to my boyfriend many times…

My wife called and asked me to get the chicken thighs out of the freezer. I told her we don’t have any chicken thighs in the freezer so she said she’d check when she gets home- your thoughts and prayers are appreciated

As we head towards the weekend, wise words from former Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin.

On being presented with a pile of red boxes with a note saying “the Secretary of State may wish to look at these over the weekend”, Bevin wrote in reply “a kindly thought, but erroneous”.

I had a french professor who once said if you just did something like going to the supermarket and experienced it fully without the goggles of habit and catégories you would go crazy with pure sense and joy. I think about it all the time. In a way this is all for him.

Honoured to call on the DG of the ACB. @ChizumaMartha is leading ACB in a principled fight against corruption serving the Malawian people and her President. Her work is vital to the confidence of the donor community in continuing to invest in Malawi. #Malawi @UKinMalawi 💪🏾⚖️🇲🇼

Every time I tell people how much I love to knit, they seem so surprised! But it truly has become one of my most meaningful (and fun) pastimes. For me, knitting is a release. It lets my hands lead the way as my mind trails behind. #TheLightWeCarry

Guys Malawi does not have a thriving night life and thus I have watched a lot of TV this year - tell me what I might have missed on Netflix and Prime that I should be watching! 📺

Happy St Andrew's Day to Scots in the UK and across @FCDO's network. We may not have any haggis, square sausage or Tunnock's Teacakes here in Malawi, but at least we can fly the Saltire at the British High Commission! #StAndrewsDay

@KenyaAirways I still haven’t had any kind of official acknowledgement of my cancelled flight from Lilongwe to London on 5/11/22 - when will this be sent? I need written confirmation of the cancellation for a refund.

@propcharles @puppymoth This is my brother’s 😂

@diplojenny @RoryStewartUK @RestIsPolitics I often think this! The world would be a better place if we were more comfortable admitting that we didn’t know the answer

[Jenny Hayhurst 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @diplojenny]

So refreshing to hear @RoryStewartUK on @RestIsPolitics say ‘I haven’t thought about enough about this issue to have anything interesting to say’. Please can we/men make this attitude a thing at all times and in all conversations.

@RoboKelzor @NoContextBrits My mum shares my initials which makes this excuse even more common lmao

[Beccy Speedie @BeccySpeedie]

To add to my flight woes my plane arrived three and a half hours ago and me and about three dozen other folk are still waiting for our bags @flyethiopian cheers!
