No Bimble today for logistical weather-related reasons. Take care folks and I'll see you next week. Don't forget it's bookclub @thrivecambridge next Friday! https://t.co/pyg7NCXzzQ and we're reading She and Her Cat by Makoto Shinkai and Naruki Nagakawa https://t.co/jgZTnZxG3F

BBC News have a piece on me today and have been astonishingly generous in the use of my pictures!

Honestly, just lock it all down for January. Pay everyone to stay home, it’s our money anyway. Call it “lockdown to help shutdown” or something, because the UK only responds to stupid rhyming shit. It’s cold, nobody likes January, we’re all broke anyway, lock us in and pay up.

@bookishcambs The market has been so so busy and impossible to be socially distant in, so it makes total sense, but it's sad for the traders. Do you know if any other stallholders have websites? Yours is excellent, btw 😊 There are also a few here: https://t.co/9GPekLMr5n

We got Disney plus yesterday night and today I have mostly been binging Hamilton. OH MY GOD.

This deal MAY be better than no deal ( I’m still trying to understand implications) BUT it is a terrible deal compared to the one we were had or told we would have. Don’t be fooled through relief.We were either lied to or our negotiators were abysmal.

A long read so let me provide a few highlights

Which is the whitest comedy? Wall to wall.

@rodillagrande I've got crisps. I don't care anyway. I've never felt sadder than I do this Christmas. Guess I'll have to suck it up for the children.

[Alice Tranah @alitraloon]

This whole thread makes me so sad i can't bear it. Merry Christmas to everyone who was born in the eu but doesn't qualify for anything other than a worthless British passport. I love feeling slapped in the face by smug people at Christmas.

[Otto English @Otto_English]

Fun fact: If you have an Irish passport and live in Britain, you now have more rights here and across Europe than a British passport holder. The UK Government has literally made its own people second class citizens in their own country.

@rodillagrande Plus the wall-to-wall booze and food can lead to fatigue, I've heard

“In the night the snow came. She awoke on Christmas morning in that unmistakeable light, coming up from the earth and shining between her curtains.”

It's #ChristmasEve and for the 90000000th day in row it feels like there is nothing to look forward to. Yet I am helplessly wishing my children and my loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I will look after them if I can. Stay close everyone.

Rather enjoying Repair Shop now

My mood currently counting down the seconds and watching repair shop for the first time ever so I don't miss the start of #BBCGhosts COME ON
