Off to Blue Sky I went. Bye bye here.

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@louisemcsharry I actually think the entertainment section with Aoife was my fave one yet. Happy accident 😊

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@pennymerelle Who watches the watchers? Yes. Yes this could be something wonderful indeed.

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@pennymerelle Like making it a bit of a David Attenborough experience?

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@FeckinLife 100 times this.

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@HanrattyDave And also Ash apparently

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is 'sequacity' (17th century): the readiness to follow a person or cause without applying any independent judgement.

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@lousetooney Maybe there’s finally a reason to spend a grand per mb or whatever the inflight internet costs these days. Or naps.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is 'overmused' (17th century): wearied by too much thinking.

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@sophiegrenham Turn up the headphones and drift away?

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘ramfeezled’ (18th century): feeling worn out, used up, and particularly enfeebled.

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@sophiegrenham Gift yourself like 15mins of something lovely and possibly unimportant. Regardless of what’s going on and what you have to do, give yourself a lil power nap or a lil dance session and just divorce that 15mins from the rest of the day. (Trying to resist saying “and buy a cake?”)

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a strutting braggart who likes to bully others but is quick to take offence.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘shaffle’ (19th century): to futz about and dither instead of getting on with the important stuff; to fiddle while Rome burns.

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@lousetooney At least she’s a Guardian reader. Aunty Hannah will be happy.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘bloviate’ (19th century): to speechify or sound off on subjects the bloviator probably knows very little about.

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@louisemcsharry This. Is. ‘Murica!

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@arnettwill Have ye considered a Smartless live show in Ireland? You can catch a local guest, yourself and Jason can get a load of golf in and Sean can go check out all the Star Wars and Game of Thrones experiences. Pretty win win, right? 👍

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@HanrattyDave Ah, ok, fairplay, it’s now the only thing in my top picks section. I was questioning why the same 4 gigs were there for about 2 months, so, I’m glad the yoke isn’t fully broken. Though I am questioning parts of its functionality. And also why I’m posting this.

[Frank E Whelan @FWhelanWrites]

@HanrattyDave This is now an effective test of Song Kick. Not only did I have a bit of a nostalgic listening binge two weeks ago, I also did a “wonder if they’ve any random gigs coming up?” search. Hmmm…
