I got four correct answers on University Challenge

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

Great, now I want sheep https://t.co/VkVZYFfD0B (I'm not going to get sheep (yet))

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

Hmm yes I should do more ultramarathons

[Rachel Hewitt @drrachelhewitt]

I'm writing about the folkloric idea that a woman who wants to run long distances must be a witch. Hares were thought to be shape-shifting female runners in witchy disguise.

I'm quite taken by these images of witch-hares, dreaming of running long distances and behaving badly.

Achievement!

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

This is so gross.

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

If you come to the UK illegally:

➡️ You can’t claim asylum

➡️ You can’t benefit from our modern slavery protections

➡️ You can’t make spurious human rights claims

➡️ You can’t stay

Reunited with Lulu. Last night we snugged in a blanket and she purred, but now she has grown weary of me.

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

Another top tier feeling is the semi-feral barn cat coming in for snuggs. When she purrs she sounds like a bird; trills and coos.

#Duolingo365 A mi me gusta hablo un poco de espanol, y next year maybe yo viajo Espana. Mi gato tiene un sandwich de carne.

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

She doesn't know it yet but my mum is getting knives, or at least a sharpener.

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

My sole takeaway from Pepsi, Where's My Jet? so far is that I should attempt some kind of stunt so that in 30 years Netflix/whatever will pay for me to visit Antarctica (whatever's left of it).

@subtextcoward Best news I've heard all day!

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

I know I've said it before, but it's a nice memory for me so I'll say it again: I served Terry Nutkins in a motorway service station a bunch of times. I'd give him a large cappuccino for the price of a small. A lovely man.

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

🇪🇸🇪🇸

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

@subtextcoward Yeah!

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

Cats don't usually like me so I am feeling #blessed to have been chosen even though she keeps licking the insides of my elbows (?!)

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

Top tier feeling: stroking a dog who is so excited to see you that the whole dog is wagging

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

Garden update: bee house, tomatoes

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

@RandoGirl42 I feel like going to a police station is quite old fashioned but wasn't sure! I'll try a Facebook group. Cheers!

[Frances Taylor @penny_face]

I found someone's purse on the ground in the middle of nowhere, what is the correct protocol? Police station tomorrow? (I took the purse and left a note on a signpost with my phone number on so they could text me??)
