First time in a hot air balloon and it was just magnificent. He always takes the best photos..

[Antony Phillipson @AJPhillipson]

What a way to start the day!! Dawn breaking in the Magaliesberg, and a hot air balloon ride with @Julesp71. Amazing experience with Bill Harrow’s Original Balloon Safari
🎈💯🇿🇦🙌🏼🎈

@LizzyWalker1 That's amazing, Lizzy! Crazy, but amazing! 😃

[Julie Phillipson @Julesp71]

@colinleeman @SophieEB You are way too cool. Haven't seen Saltburn yet, which has propelled this to the top of the charts again, but our 20 year old described it as good but "disturbing", which has me intrigued.

[Julie Phillipson @Julesp71]

@GrasshopperGeo MY completed puzzle. Helped by our 2 sons. Loved it.

@HMRCcustomers please can you send me a link to download and print an SA100 form for 22/23 to save having to call and have one sent to me as I am resident overseas. I have printed subsidiary pages but can't find SA100.

[Julie Phillipson @Julesp71]

Of course the lucky ones, us included, have generators, inverters and/or solar power to at least keep the lights on. Millions in this country have nothing.

[Ros Atkins @BBCRosAtkins]

There are daily power cuts in South Africa. It's a story that shows that systems have breaking points. And that those moments are often the culmination of decisions going back years. Here's 7 mins on why SA can't keep the lights on.

@British_Airways I did this, they emailed saying they couldn't see that I had paid for a seat, I replied with a screenshot of my receipt (I booked it later) and I have heard nothing since. Do I have to start a new claim? Reference is 230419-000741

[Julie Phillipson @Julesp71]

@British_Airways On 22/2 I paid for an aisle seat for my 16-year-old son travelling on his own on 15/4 from CPT to LHR. At the gate he was moved to a window seat on the back row of a section to let a parent and child sit together. How do I get a refund?

[Julie Phillipson @Julesp71]

@BuliG @AJPhillipson @omtimka @ukinsouthafrica @HarrisonDaxNash It was wonderful to see you again, and a fantastic celebration, I have to agree!

[Antony Phillipson @AJPhillipson]

Back with for more “Rock’n’Roll street food” at the wonderful Urban Playground in Maitland. Fabulous food - white bait, pot stickers, spring rolls followed by the peking duck pancakes…really funky place.

[Julie Phillipson @Julesp71]

I so want to listen to this playlist when it's finished.

[Jennifer Gunter @DrJenGunter]

Making a playlist “Ladies of the 80s” songs from the 80s, sung by a woman, that would make you down your drink and head to the dance floor. What should I have?

[Julie Phillipson @Julesp71]

@AJPhillipson Not forgetting an ice cream from The Village Hub at Scarborough...

[Julie Phillipson @Julesp71]

@colinjgibbs @AJPhillipson It is! You need to get yourselves here tout de suite!

[Julie Phillipson @Julesp71]

@colinleeman @CTCycleTour @ukinsouthafrica Well done, Colin! I'm very impressed. Hope you have a nice easy week ahead...
