Logged into Twitter for my one tweet of the year to thank @Nigella_Lawson for her Italian Christmas Cake Recipe & say, it was once again, absolutely delicious! (cocktail stick the right to indicate the non chocolate bit for me sissy). Hope everyone had a gentle Christmas x

I despair.

Here's the wonderful Bee, holding two bags which we will be giving away on our shop anniversary weekend.
A party bag full of bookshop goodies - including a £5 book token - to the first hundred customers , and a handsome jute bag to the first 30 customers to spend £30 or more.

Unbelievable hypocrisy or just inexcusable ignorance?

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

Anti-vaxxers and lockdown sceptics trying to storm the @BBC at studios they no longer use over a lockdown that has already finished.

These dangerous boneheads really need to learn to do their research.

When people of colour talk about racism, please take the time to consider the courage it takes to do so.

Consider the imbalances of power that exist when those conversations are happening. Please do not abuse that power by shutting down the discussion. (1/5)

@katemojo1 This is outrageous. I was rapped over my knuckles when I was young for doing a painting 'wrong' Now I am a successful painter. There is hope. Don't give up. Your work s great.

[Eagle Bookshop @eaglebookshop]

Caught red-handed! This is what a graffiti artist looks like, running away from their work... Except we have here the Banksy of shop window artists as well as the most up-litting of all writers - the marvelous @ruthmariehogan
More pics + Madame Burova pre-order link to follow.

Is there a mould they use to make people like this?

"British people are pretty awkward on trains with strangers anyway, let alone the big bald bloke doing cross-stitch on the train."

‘Manbroiderer’ Jamie @MrXStitch started sewing 15 years ago to pass the time on a long-haul flight.

Ambitious musical productions were a great feature in the regimental life of the Artists Rifles. Each year they produced a Christmas show written and staged by members of the unit with a cast of over forty members. Regarded by many as the best entertainments in the T.A.

While I appreciate this lockdown is bad news for a lot of people, it feels particularly harsh on those of us who are forced to share a house with Boris Johnson.

[Artists Rifles @artistsrifles]

Today sees the completion of a 10-month project to scan all the Artists Rifles publications between 1916-1958. This is now fully searchable. At some stage we hope to make much of this accessible to the public via a portal on our website - watch this space.

I had 5 sheep on their backs yesterday 😱 so thought I would show this video again. Please if you see a sheep like this it's important to roll them or the birds will eat them alive. They may be very wobbly at first so keep an eye on them Thankyou.

@WellReadBlkGrl To the many people like you who have given so much over this year - the rest of us owe everything. I’m sorry the recklessness of others is increasing your load and I share your anger.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Let’s be clear: if you make under $400,000 a year, you won’t pay a penny more in taxes under a Biden-Harris administration.
