Happy pub day @MoTheComedian! Such a joy to get to work on #ThatMomentWhen - a real labour of love that's chock full of '90s nostalgia, heartwarming tales and, of course, laughs. Gonna have to get a couple cans in tonight to celebrate!🍻

A beautiful morning for a swim in the @WestReservoir today! What a difference a few degrees make - covered 1km in skins and it was just cold enough to get the good tingle✨ The 400m course is gorge. Thanks to the staff for keeping us all safe and smiling #openwaterswimming

I'm so excited to tell you that this summer I will be swimming the English Channel (!) on a relay team for the wonderful @AspireCharity. All donations are greatly appreciated and can help change the life of someone living with a spinal cord injury https://t.co/r7gAScCeZI 🎉🏊‍♀️💪

Listening to an Ella Fitzgerald playlist and she's telling me someday soon we all will be together, if the fates allow 😭 I was not prepaaared, Ella 😭😭

@IanCallaway352 @SerpsSwimClub @Deal_Town What a beautiful morning on the water! Thanks for sharing. I wish I lived close enough to get out there that early!

[Jess Anderson @EditorJess]

Am looking for wild swimming spots in the south-east that are still open and, importantly, safe (ie, other swimmers around). Anyone have any tips? #wildswimming #coldwaterswimming

Just finished my cold read of this wonderful memoir. It follows a woman's life-changing experience working for an animal sanctuary in Bolivia, in particular with a scared and broken puma named Wayra. It is beautiful and sad and will transport you to the jungle. Pubs June 2021.

As a non-single person I also appreciate Nicola's newsletter! It's all about loving yourself first and not looking for someone to 'complete' you, which I think we can all get behind. Give it a read if you haven't already!

[Jess Anderson @EditorJess]

And let's not forget the dogs! Welcome, Champ and Major❤️ I've heard you're very good boys

[Galley Beggar Press @GalleyBeggars]

This is amazing. Listen to the joy.

Feeling teary and so, so proud. Cheers to a corner turned 🍾 We did it! 😭 #BidenHarris

[Jess Anderson @EditorJess]

Picturing the staffers behind the scenes calling dibs to not be the one to make Trump face the music. It's all so very Veep.

[VANITY FAIR @VanityFair]

Trump has signaled to allies that the Secret Service will have to drag him from the White House kicking and screaming https://t.co/hGxPyyAHNs

Ughhhh I just remembered he's going to get a presidential library

[Anna Mazzola - is not here @Anna_Mazz]

What are the odds on Melania and all the fake Melanias having already made off in a massive Cadillac, hair streaming in the wind, trunk packed with champagne, leaving a trail of crushed Christmas decorations in their wake?

[Jess Anderson @EditorJess]

I'm so happy and relieved tonight but honestly, deep down, terrified for how far this selective view of the facts will go into the future.
But for now I will tamp it down, have another glass of wine, and optimistically toast this blue wave 🤞🍷

Imagine how Democrats would be feeling this week were the tables turned. The last two days would've been agonizing, seeing the writing on the wall as we inched towards a conclusion.

[Jess Anderson @EditorJess]

It's the same reason they fall for the kinds of conspiracy theories that excuse that their weapon of choice was used to gun down schoolchildren. Years of picking and choosing their version of the truth has led us to this point.
