Decent knitter, average pianist, likes cheese, wine and lindy hop. All views are my own.

@LEEDAVI36635259 @DavidFisherFolk This is rubbish! It can take a while to get a reply but if there's WiFi you could try an email to samaritans, or they have a live webchat which is open until 10pm, not the same as a phonecall but maybe better than nothing x

Hey @BrewDog, I like your beer a lot, and the food at @BrewDogBirm is bloody great, but two of your beers have exploded in the last week, I'd rather put it in my face than have to clean it up from all over the kitchen

I haven't shared any knitting for a while, but I thought this one was worth an honourable mention, and you all know how I feel about #Halloween! #pumpkin #twitterknitter

I think we made the most of the Eden Project @TheEdenSessions #nineinchnails

I'm not leaving the charity sector of course, too many things to do, and I'll do them all wearing my Docs. (Still have the pair from my first day on the street!)

After over a decade, I'm taking a little break from full time #fundraising. From street fundraising for @Shelter to Head of Development at @BCMG, it's been quite the ride! Thank you to every, single donor I have met along the way, however much you could give.

[Elaine Griffin @KnitNerdCo]

Having a little operation today, glad they know where to put the needles! #face Maybe my 32 years of crying from one eye are coming to an end!

[Elaine Griffin @KnitNerdCo]

@JackRobertson27 Nope. Did not need to see that.

[Elaine Griffin @KnitNerdCo]

@Dru_Step Halloween bank holiday please, with specific fancy dress rules.

[Elaine Griffin @KnitNerdCo]

@Goodfooddrink @michaelcaines @HarboursideRF @PorthlevenFest Looks delicious!

[Elaine Griffin @KnitNerdCo]

@VicHancockFell Hi Vic! I've just been having a nose on your website - over 10 years in the charity sector and I'd love to help out some small organisations if I can!

We are devastated to learn that Sir Harrison Birtwistle has passed away. Our thoughts are with his family. https://t.co/bZEqHVFiEN

Strong play from Susie. I like it.

Word of the day is 'maw-worm' (19th century): one who insists that they have done nothing wrong, despite evidence to the contrary.
