Gardening, swimming outdoors, triathlon. That’s about the length of me.

@jowhiley just checking whether it’s Mon or Thurs next week for the traditional start to Christmas? Christmas starts with “When the Thames froze” @smithandburrows

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@jowhiley @smithandburrows @BBCRadio2 The Christmas lights are on, the fire glowing in the grate. Here we go.

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@jowhiley evening. Just checking we’re on for the traditional start to Christmas tonight. If you know you know.

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@jowhiley I’m just checking you’ve got the usual ‘start to Christmas’ record ready for Monday evening’s show?

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@Grant_Colgate I was there last year and thought much the same.

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@jowhiley strong finish today with Into my Arms. Stunning. That song always stops me in my tracks.

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@CommonFarm1 Very tempted here too. I turned the heating on instead.

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@CommonFarm1 I had the same thought today when I woke up to rain. St. Swithin's day if thou dost rain, for forty days it will remain. St. Swithin's day if thou be fair, for forty days 'twill rain nae mair

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@CommonFarm1 Welcome back!!

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@Grant_Colgate Grant, you talk a lot of sense a lot of the time. Just not on this matter. S&V crisps are the best - when considering regular crisps and all that. Different ball game if we go down the wormhole of frazzles, nik naks, monster munch etc.

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@TheFlowerFarmer I do exactly the same thing, but on my phone, or a pad of paper. Need to go to bed knowing what I have planned for tomorrow!

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@sarajcox Bored at school one day, aged 14 or so. By that age I really should have known better. I took the bulb out of a lamp and stuck my finger in to see what would happen. Naturally, I was thrown halfway across the room and I’ve had a very healthy respect for electricity ever since!

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@simonsuter Good to know. I always have to boil for ages so may just follow your advice and add less water this time from the onset.

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

It’s that time of year again.

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@Grant_Colgate Btw - I grew up in a house called Morningwood (the wood put on the fire in the morning to reignite it - to clarify for those whose minds might be elsewhere!). When we moved, the new owners renamed it as Morningside.

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@Grant_Colgate Just pop a bit of morning wood on it in the morning and job done!

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@bt_uk appalling service. Elderly parents live in the country with no mobile reception. You replaced their phone lines so land line is now via Wi-Fi. Mobiles calls when attached to Wi-Fi are appalling when upstairs yet you refuse to provide boosters. Age prejudice?

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@suebeesley You wouldn’t believe the timing. When going to bed last night I began to feel a bit off and I checked my resting HR. Yep, elevated compared to normal. And today I wake up with a cold!

[Jamie Paterson @JamiePaters]

@suebeesley Yep, I do. I wear a Garmin watch and when I start to feel under the weather I look at the previous couple of days of resting heart rate figures. If it’s up against my norm I know I’m coming down with something, and i get on the vitamin C etc. hope you continue to get better.

@RoylePin Someone else that does shower drinks. I’m a big fan of a shower beer myself. But weirdly, only on holiday.
