We at LDV Towers have been full of love and admiration for both Mary and Ian as they dealt with his last illness. Mary writes so movingly about the excellent palliative care Ian had in the last few days of his life - and in a hospital setting too. Everyone should have such good care.

First proper miserable commute of the Winter. Pouring rain, cold, first train cancelled, next one 3 carriages rather than 6, now having to wait in freezing cold for a bus for too long. I feel like I was born to Winter in more temperate climes.

So what do we think is going to happen in #celebritytraitors tonight? Alan is, I think, screwed but I hope Cat pulls it off. She has played a great game and I have not, nor will I ever, forgive the others for Stephen Fry going. The Faithfuls are in a strong position but they have bungled before.
