One last story for Christmas - in which Paddington meets @lucypgeridoc and his ailing Aunt receives some good advice. https://t.co/8ETcZMtIMP

@MattersCounty Why county cricket matters - more, perhaps, than even I realised.

A few words on…I’m sorry, what was I saying, oh yes…on attending to our inattention.

The Hormuz Strait’s a waterway for oil tankers but,
The U.S. says it’s open whilst Iran says it is shut.
And so it seems the only way to know who’s telling lies is,
By filling up your car with fuel and noting what the price is!

For many years, those big billed birds,
Found in St James Park,
Alas, they could not reproduce,
It seemed they’d lost the spark.
But now they’ve come together,
And succeeded in their plan,
To prove that whilst some pelican’t,
There’s some that pelican!

FOR THOSE ALREADY TIRED OF THE WORLD CUP

Late night football is a game
Of two halves it is said,
Which means one’s played whilst you’re awake,
The other whilst you’re in bed.

Some thoughts having watched ‘Sam and Ade go birding’ https://t.co/pO0Sxzl8uZ

[Peter Aird @barneyhound]

This week I listened to ‘Everything’s fake and nobody cares’, watched ‘Sam and Ade go birding’ and saw how Ade likes robins, and learnt of a school whose tagline is disturbingly ‘Excellence is only the beginning’.

I’d only recommend two of the three.

@SomersetCCC announced that Brian has not been seen for some time. But as hopes for his return remain, here, with apologies to W.H. Auden, is my tribute to everyone favourite feline friend.

Today I did something pointless. And all the more so perhaps, given how cold it was, and with the grey skies overhead constantly threatening rain…

To bomb Venezuela? You’d have to be Caracas!

So make friends - not war.
