Thank you @ExplorerCoffees for prompt hand delivery to Fareham during your move. First cup this morning, delicious. Keen to support local, veteran-owned businesses!

The Consultants of Dorset hospital have written a letter to @SteveBarclay

They strike tomorrow

This letter is incredible

I challenge anyone to refute a single point in it

Worth a read for you too @wesstreeting

I found a child’s violin in the back of a Zipcar in south London yesterday. The customer care people didn’t seem all that concerned so I took it home. I would love to reunite it with its owner if I can. The name tag says Isobel Lopez. Can Twitter help? Please share! #lostviolin

@RedLunaPixie Happy New Year - are you going to be anywhere near Pompey in 2023?

[Don Payne @dongle14]

@RedLunaPixie Happy birthday and Solstice to you!

[Don Payne @dongle14]

@RedLunaPixie @davidwrightuk Good luck! Reminds me of the old Billy Connolly joke - “what do you call 5000 banjos thrown into the Clyde?” “A start.”

If you were the Irish guy on crutches who works in *biochem?* in Stevenage who was on the Peterborough train from Finsbury Park this morning it was lovely to meet you and I should’ve asked for your name and number so I could live out my Christmas miracle romance moment hahahelp
