As part of the excellent #FestivalofLibraries this week I'll be chatting to Christopher Eccleston at Stockport Library - my old alma mater - about his brilliant, storied career and how he's been supported and inspired by libraries. https://t.co/7AAWZo3DWY

On Monday I'll be in conversation with the legend that is @DoonMacKichan about her memoir Lady Parts, a hilarious, brilliant and absolutely infuriating examination of the cultural limitations placed on women through the lens of showbiz #comedy #feminism https://t.co/pxchiynUQz

@shaunwkeaveny Alright mate no need to show off

Last week I heard @laurenlaverne say, 'Fail we may, sail we must' in response to some minor techy issues on @BBC6Music and it's got into my bones. Never heard it before. The right aphorism at the right time can be such a gift ⛵️

@NinaWarhurst @MFT_SaintMarys @MFTnhs Pleased to see her TV career has got off to a flying start! 🐧

@missicing I have my own blessed mantra;

Disposable
Contact
Lenses

[katie popperwell @ktpop]

This level of planning is giving me a nervo. It doesn't feel like long ago that I showed up with absolutely nothing and my pal handed me a sparkly cape and off we went. That year I slept in a tipi, a van and a caravan, none of which belonged to me.
