Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Just caught up on tonight’s episode of uk traitors. Cannot wait to hear the questions Harriet will ask the traitors. Fiona -what a rocket 🚀 made me laugh so much & absolutely brilliant on Traitors Uncloaked, I think Ed Gamble just loves her. He should take her on one of his comedy tours. #traitors

I thought it might be nice to give away my last 2 signed hardbacks of my novel 1983, with two lovely linocut hares by my mum.

The book's been called "Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut and Sue Townsend”.

Dexter my 15 1/2 year old cat is fair enjoying the fact that his servant is off on annual leave. He is milking it since he had to go to the vet yesterday to get his claw clipped as claw went into his paw pad. On antibiotics and pain relief, he a wee champ and the vet nurses ♥️ him. #catsofbluesky

Maybe the fact that I’ve had a few glasses of red wine before this, is accurately describing how I’m feeling right now. 😂

#thetraitors cannot believe it finished there 😂 I bet we will need to wait till next week. My bets are on Fiona, Harriet or Ellie for secret traitor. Definitely do not think it’s a male .

#thetraitors great twist to series 4 of the traitors. I don’t have a clue who the secret traitor is. Claudia Winkelman is brilliant. Her witticisms are top notch.

Happy New Year to all when it comes. Especially thinking of those whom are no longer with us, we will remember the good times & keep them alive in our hearts and minds.
I’m now off to bed after binge watching Netflix drama Beast in Me which was superb, accompanied by some red wine. Sleep beckons 😴

Whilst this is a rip-roaring read, the author is clearly bonkers. Every one of these apparently self-evidently incomprehensible sentences is perfectly reasonable...

Some students came to sing carols from the local Filipino church choir, at the nursing home my mum is a resident in, today. It was lovely seeing many of the residents singing. For a wee while we could just forget about dementia and appreciate the joy of music and being in each other’s company.

Tommy Robinson got pushed over by Ty Mitchell, a muslim beating him in a muslim country where Robinson was begging for money.
Then they deported Robinson because the locals were enraged by his presence.
What a shame 🤣

Cannot believe that it is 37 years ago that the Lockerbie disaster happened. Seeing the news of the remembrance events on the news last few days reminded of the time I visited the Lockerbie memorial and spoke to families whom had lost family there.

There's a lot of talk of acceptance working with people with chronic conditions. Let's remember- this is easy to say for the person without the condition!
A big component of acceptance is grieving- a painful process, & with bumps in the road.
Let's not push acceptance like people can 'just do it'.

New term/condition came across recently. Polymorphic psychosis-never heard of it in 30 years as a mental health nurse. Time to get reading.
