Briefly visiting X to say to @GingerJohnson_ how much I've enjoyed your Celebrity Masterchef journey. Loved your cooking and your wonderful laugh.

I haven't posted here for such a long time, but I'm moved to do it now because @BBC have cancelled #BetweenTheCovers . This programme has been such a gem in a schedule crammed with hours of quizzing, dancing and cooking and I am so sad to lose it. I know many will feel the same.

@WainBright @LindaThompsonLT @CityWineryNYC It's a wonderful album and that track makes me cry. So beautifully sung.

I know @jamieoliver is a bit marmite for some folk, but his recipes work and aren't set in stone, so people build confidence in their cooking. Anyway, I made his bean & fennel gratin tonight and it was bloody delicious. Cheers @Channel4 #jamiewhattoeatthisweek

Great to see @_OliviaBlake re-elected with an increased vote-share here in Sheffield Hallam! The constituency should also be proud of the very high turnout, bucking the trend seen elsewhere. Excellent campaign that worked tirelessly. 🌹

Congratulations to @Abtisam_Mohamed who will make a terrific MP for Sheffield Central, and what a result for @_OliviaBlake in Sheffield Hallam. Well done both!

[Brenda Steel @BrendaSteel]

There was a queue at my local polling station when it opened at 7am, many people excitedly saying Last Day of the Tories! Good luck Abtisam, and good luck @_OliviaBlake in Sheff Hallam #ToriesOut

@bbcstudios @InsideNo9_ @ReeceShearsmith @SP1nightonly @BBCiPlayer Been rewatching from series 1 and now find myself automatically searching for hares in the background of everything else on TV. Am I alone in this? Should I be seeking professional help?
