@SamRobMash5 @sarajcox I hear you! I can’t go into a pub / bar / restaurant ‘first’ even with someone behind me. And yet I hold a respectable, sociable job role and will discuss challenging parenting matters with teachers etc!

[Lucy Melton @lucyvmelton]

@sarajcox Make instant gravy. It’s always lumpy. I can make the real deal just fine, I’m fact I’m proud of my long-form gravy, but Bisto just isn’t my forte!

@LauraPAuthor @NotRollergirl I have the same issue when books cover baby loss. I wish there was a way to check if something specific / a trigger is mentioned, just if you feel like today’s not the day to be reminded.

[Lucy Melton @lucyvmelton]

I think I might be a baby elephant…

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

Baby elephants will sometimes throw temper tantrums when tired or frustrated.

Did you know that if you sneeze and fart at the same time...

Your body takes a screenshot.

Every time you watch, focus on a different one among the 8 children. Hilarious😂

Hi @eon_next please can you reply to my query here, as my email and WhatsApp have gone ignored for days and days? When I move to the Next Flex tariff on 1st Nov can I pay for it with a variable monthly direct debit (pay for exactly what I’ve used)?

[Lucy Melton @lucyvmelton]

@BexBookaholic This is one of the reasons I generally read on my Kindle. No off-putting cover to look at and compete privacy so nobody can judge me based on what I’m reading. I know I shouldn’t care what others think but I do.

[Lucy Melton @lucyvmelton]

@LauraPAuthor Yay, amazing! You’ve inspired me to have another try at C25K!

[Lucy Melton @lucyvmelton]

OMG I’m crying! Usher is what broke me, then it just kept giving 😂😂

@RosieThorn14 Thank you for putting into words what I was struggling to describe! Agree entirely!

It turns out I’m becoming an old painting, I also have craquelure. I am fiiiiiiiine with that, what great company to be in!

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

Here are 25 highly specific things you've noticed before, but which you didn't know also have very specific names.

Starting with "craquelure" - those fine cracks and lines that appear on old paintings.

Went roller skating on Friday evening. Haven’t actually skated for probably about 5 years (and never competently). We had to evacuate the building (fire alarm) ON SKATES. Have you ever tried going down an outside fire escape ramp on rollerblades? 😳😳😳

[Lucy Melton @lucyvmelton]

Hey #BookTwitter are there any good grown up(ish) audiobooks without swearing in? I’ve chosen what I thought were safe bets, including My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell, but even that had some. I want to be able to listen with my 7yo in the room.

[Lucy Melton @lucyvmelton]

@AsdaServiceTeam Done as requested.

[Lucy Melton @lucyvmelton]

.@asda despite calling and complaining previously, I am still being disturbed regularly by your drivers trying to deliver someone else’s food to my house. 9am Sunday & 8.45am today. This must be addressed. Tempted to accept it & donate to a food bank next time…

[Lucy Melton @lucyvmelton]

Yayyyyy!!!
