@PippaCrerar They all seem totally intent on proving that it is in fact possible to kick yourself in the balls.

@PhilGoode7 Phil! How’s things? You still in Belfast?

Your reminder of what can go wrong in animal sculpture week on @PotteryThrow 🤣

Email from work that it’s Cybersecurity Month. Already?! It feels like yesterday that the kids were leaping out of bed to open last year’s cybersecurity presents. Mid you, the supermarkets have been full of anti-virus software for weeks…

@ruskin147 Hi Rory, this is Basil. We got him about two weeks before the first lockdown. It's taken that time to get him happy at home although he still won't go in the car or through any strange doorway. Happy to tell you the full story.

Saw the new @TNLUK lottery ad. Central message of which seems to be that you have to buy a ticket every week for 40 years before you win.🤷‍♂️

@sewateruk Still nothing on your own website Service Updates page about lack of water in TN2 or when service will be resumed. Or bottled water for vulnerable people in this heat. And somehow @DaveHintonwater still has a job.

I wrote a thing - about guitars, pottery and inventing ancient civilisations. https://t.co/1tdYick8Fc

So seeing as I'm a writer and a potter it seems to make sense to write about pots (and other stuff). https://t.co/wF8nwo25SH

Me and mum watch @PotteryThrow together each week so really there was only one option for this years mother's day card... Derek's ferret

[Derek Harbinson @derekharbinson]

@Shrimpella_ @PotteryThrow That’s amazing! (And happy Mother’s Day to your mum) ❤️

[The Great Pottery Throw Down @PotteryThrow]

We miss all the potters already! #potterythrowdown

[Derek Harbinson @derekharbinson]

@boneo87 Thanks Chris - you’re rocking that orange. Love it!

[Derek Harbinson @derekharbinson]

My sister got me this very awesome birthday card (next week) that features a ferret-based surprise! 🤣

[Derek Harbinson @derekharbinson]

@DDarkstylus Could be less!

Had my favourite bit of Twitter feedback on my Throwdown appearance made into a t-shirt.
