@valhumphreys51 @DrRJWebb Depending on his reading age, those may be too young for him. My three read them at junior school.

@kiityc As a non-knitter I posted this on my Facebook at the weekend and a number of my friends have bought it (and one has already knitted it!)

@bertsbooks A tough choice

[Bert’s Books @bertsbooks]

Giveaway!

I’m giving one lucky person the chance to pick one shelf of books from our Bertvent bookcase.

Follow and repost by midday on Saturday 27th and I’ll pick someone at random! Which shelf will you choose?

(UK only)

@parthaskar Happy birthday!

[FormerMusgroveParkChaplain 💙 @park_chaplain]

@maxxin_alll_J Scone would be closest though the taste and texture is slightly different.

@OrthopodReg @DrLKVaughan @marksandspencer @PimmsGB @Coles @Fortnums I'm pleased to report that Christmas has now been saved in Brisbane as @Coles have had new stock of Outrageously Chocolatey Biscuits :-)

@OrthopodReg @DrLKVaughan @marksandspencer @PimmsGB @Coles @Fortnums My daughter in Brisbane was very excited - but everything has been sold out every time she has been recently.

@oldenoughtosay I resorted to tights under trousers or dungarees for both boy and girls as toddlers in the winter.

@KarlSettle @SimonCalder Canada was very pleasant in October and significantly cheaper than things were in the USA last year. We too won't be returning to the USA for the foreseeable future.

@kiityc @Milajoy 35 years and counting.

@valhumphreys51 @pauline_a_d @SwailesRuth @BBCr4today There was a screening trial in Nottingham in the 1990s. A friend was in it, had stage 1 cancer detected, though asymptomatic, and the family regretted it as she went straight into aggressive treatment which ruined her quality of life and she still died within a few years.

@TheSnoozeDoctor I just live with mine being right for only half the year.

Today’s lunch #Montréal #holiday Would anyone like to guess the cost for this plus bread, soup, dessert and coffee?

@valhumphreys51 @LittlePersonDoc There certainly used to be lots of good small bistros in Montmartre - and watching the artists in the Place du Tertre is fun. If you need a break from walking, I suggest a boat trip on the Seine. For a weekend I'd stick to the city rather than Versailles.

@valhumphreys51 @TheSnoozeDoctor @RCoANews It's really good isn't it?

[FormerMusgroveParkChaplain 💙 @park_chaplain]

@TheSnoozeDoctor @RCoANews @valhumphreys51 Very clear - though there's a typo on the loss of consciousness part of rare risks of the spinal document 'How many? Out of every 20,000 people (one thousand people)' - should be 'twenty thousand people'.

@Chonkubine @valhumphreys51 My fear is that, at least in the US, infant mortality will rise as vaccine use becomes later/more limited and then autism rates will fall - and that will be attributed to vaccine/paracetamol use rather than the mortality rate increase.

@TamaraLockwoo11 @valhumphreys51 @DrLKVaughan I lost a filling eating an Emirates meal - it has rather prejudiced my view of them.
