One of the many passages of Hilary Mantel that will never leave. ‘All houses are haunted.’ RIP.

@squeezyjohn You’re very welcome! It definitely has the same Songs of Praise/Antiques Roadshow school-dread, homework-not-done Sunday evening vibe.

Would you like to work with refugees in your part of Suffolk? We're looking for two Employment & General Advice Workers, one based in the West of the county and one in the East, to deliver advice and employment support to Ukrainian refugees. Details here 👉https://t.co/3IpkJE4erW

@GillianSearl @writerlyai_bot I don’t think we’re in danger of AI taking over the world just yet.

[Gemma Macmillen @GemmaBury]

@GillianSearl @writerlyai_bot Well now I know there’s no government on Saturdays and Sundays that opens up a whole new world of possibilities…😄

@writerlyai_bot @GillianSearl Anarchy at the weekends then

[Gemma Macmillen @GemmaBury]

@GillianSearl Ah, that’s interesting. I thought it was something to do with them living on the roof (need small legs so they don’t fall off the roof). 😄

[Zoom Quaker Quest @ZoomQuakerQuest]

One of the most surprising pieces of advice given to British Quakers is:
“Think it possible that you may be mistaken.”
While we need to be true to our deeply-held convictions, we also need to respect the humanity of those whose convictions are different from our own.

@GillianSearl @peakdistrict Gill - this was Curbar Edge in December. Stunning views and lots of dogs!

@beckyfh Only an occasional visitor, but had an amazing meal in Fhior in 2019: https://t.co/TNGnNrmbm1

@profdanhicks @GladstoneMuseum @PotteriesMuseum This is so short-sighted. I spent a weekend there in December, very specifically to visit the museums but also spent money in local restaurants, stayed in a local B&B etc. If I had to plan a visit around restricted hours it wouldn’t be worth travelling 165 miles.

[SRS @suffolk_refugee]

We spoke to @MarkGlennMurphy on @BBCSuffolk this morning about the amazing response to our sewing machine appeal, how our sewing group is helping Afghan women, and how local kindness is brightening Christmas for the refugees we work with (from 2:38:35) 👉 https://t.co/VhLYXNBzlH

Sondheim one of those people you can't quite believe you lived at the same time as.

[Gemma Macmillen @GemmaBury]

@Kitsilano65 @ImogenTaylor338 @SigneSJohansen That’s interesting. I wonder if it fell out of use here then but continued to be used in the US (like eg ‘gotten’) and has now come back to us. I don’t remember it being used here until fairly recently.
