Busy start to #LT22UK - some great stands here, but this one edges it for me @TheAccessGroup. Is the Sun over the yardarm yet? 🤔 See you later!!

Hell’s bells, it’s miserable again, isn’t it? Here, have a picture of my best friend on Christmas Day. 😊#keepsmiling

I’m setting off to sail on ‘The Sea of Fertility’ tetralogy by the extraordinary and extravagantly talented author Yukio Mishima. (三島 由紀夫の豊饒の海). I hope I’m finally ready to get the most from this 😅 #LoveJapan

“The number of times I have been mistaken for a doctor is quite amusing”. Thing 2 doing his placement in a London hospital. He might be a 6’ 2” budding medic, kick-boxer and model, but he’s still my little boy 😊

We’ve lived together for 12 years but tonight she seems a bit different....full moon on Halloween? 🤔 #HappyHalloween

Autumn break at #LynchLodge in Alwalton. If you look carefully, you may see a ghost in the porch signing the logbook..... 👻 (filter free) @LandmarkTrust

Does *this* bring back any memories @JETAAUK? Kumamoto Jets 1993. Couple of faces missing from this though. So many great memories to revisit as I digitise my old photos! 😊❤️🇯🇵

Glad I’m getting early practice on these for @MusicGHS and @RGSGuildford joint choir in 2020. Forgotten how tricky esp the Carmina Burana is! 😱. Looking forward to Peter and Grayson’s expert coaching after Christmas - dona eis requiem #LatinJoke 😁

25 years ago today, very lucky to eat ちゃんこ鍋 with these lovely guys - 小錦 and 武蔵丸 - at a sumo exhibition match. Also met Chad (曙) - all 6' 8" of him! Ah, life was much simpler then! @KonishikisWORLD #musashimaru

PS - I'm the one in the middle :)

A good day. Where’s Gwen? 🐕

The dance continues - #KillingEve series 2, BBC1 June 8th. I had to be persuaded to watch the first series, now I can’t wait for the next 😊

Read the whole thread. What insight and observation. And laugh out loud funny too. 😁

I spent a good chunk of the evening attempting to clean some of my late parents things out of the shed. That's traumatic innit?
Now I know why I put it off for 12 years.
Maybe I could've been working on that with the therapist, instead of the bloke from the skip hire company?

This is from the fork steerer tube. This symbol, the frame number and the handlebars date the bike to about 1937. Is that enough now, or were you asking about the book idea? 🤔😂

[Matt Johnson @TheRealMattJ]

Bit of a tease for you @DuncanJ98406485 and @tim_jameson. Months of research, hundreds of emails and dozens of interviews for my new book. I mean, I really should write it all up. Maybe. 🚴🏻‍♂️

“This pasta is delicious, just a little Chewie.” Has to be really, in memory of @TheWookieeRoars #StarWarsDay

“It’s Pi Jim, but not as we know it”. The transition paths of pi - isn’t maths beautiful? Happy #PiDay2019

Sitting in a sushi bar in London, two elegant silver-haired women discuss food.
No 1: “Do you remember that lovely lunch?”
No 2: “The Turkish place?”
No 1: “Yes - the lamb wrap”

I smile, and sing quietly in my head “Wham! bam! I am! a man!” and wish @MirandaKeeling was here.
