Living in sunny Sussex by the sea I keep the ends of the day apart by being a cyber-PA and transcriber.

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 And here is a rainbow over our neighbour's pitch last night.

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 Thanks for all your early mornings, Petroc. You've made life so much easier to navigate first thing. Best wishes from a damp campsite in Brittany.

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 About 40 years ago, a neighbour of ours performed a monologue in the village show, with the refrain, ' All I wanted was a bunch of daffodils, tied up with raffia, out of a bucket." I've hunted for the script, but never found it.

@smithrichard @RevRichardColes Full of spices and teas and other such delights inside. Definitely a grocer.

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@AngelaRedman3 @RevRichardColes Inside is full of spices, rice, teas, infusions... It's definitely a grocer, not just green.

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@RevRichardColes I was in there only that morning! I used to live up the road, but now visit the area only for the dentist. I stock up when I go. The shopping list for next time has started already!

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 I've just had to go and listen to Dudley Moore do the Ballad of Gangster Joe (ostensibly by Weill and Brecht).

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@carolkav81 I'm glad you're here. Please stay.

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@ruthiehelen3 @PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 Unfortunately had me racing for the off switch. Loathe that piece with a passion. Managed to time the on switch with the back announcement, so we'll count that as a win.

@RevRichardColes A Canon I worked for years ago had a very tatty cloak which needed significant work to it. A member of his flock was a costumier for TV period dramas. That cloak had the make-over of its life, and was the envy of the Deanery.

@NaomiLWood @BBCRadio3 I gave up on Saturday breakfast when Martin Handley stopped doing it. His replacement was someone apparently kicked off 6 Music. The latest incarnation seems incapable of reading a script with any aplomb. Would you believe we've migrated to Tony Blackburn on R2?!

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@waitrose Thank you!

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@waitrose Can you tell me when the big Macsweens haggis will be in store, please. My local shop said 31Jan, which is after Burns Night.

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@PetrocTrelawny @BBCRadio3 @BBCSingers So lovely to hear Fine Arts Brass. The trombone player, Simon Hogg, was my windband tutor at music centre back in the '80s.
At one point the members were Bryan, Richard, Andy, Stephen and Simon.

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@Kavey I had one made from my own photo, and that was £36, about 5 years ago. But £39 for someone else's pic? That's steep. Too steep.

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@BElleinbrighton @Bronagh_Lidd @SBurke_Adams @SussexTW @SussexIncidents It is -- well, Little Horsted-- but it was travelling on the wrong carriageway for a while because of not being able to easily negotiate some of the smaller roundabouts.

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@SussexTW @SussexIncidents

Door open and working out how to negotiate Brian the Snail, it appears.

1440: just sticking his nose out of Cuilfail Tunnel.

[Sussex Traffic Watch @SussexTW]

Abnormal Loads update currently A27/A26 towards the cuilfail tunnel in Lewes

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@Bronagh_Lidd @SBurke_Adams @SussexTW @SussexIncidents It's turning round -- at least, the body remains still, while the locos on either end swap direction -- and will then head for the A27 westbound carriageway.

[Jenny Clarke @DottedCrotchet]

@mejh80081355Arg @SussexTW It's because the abnormal load is going to be travelling eastbound on the westbound carriageway for a while.
