"Robert help"...
Most of TikTok seems trapped on deathly EverstTok, but I've somehow got stuck on MarcusTheWormTok and while I'm not mad about it I don't know the lore. Anyway, this is all I see right now:

Watched the video of someone making the school dinner classic, Cornflakes Tart, and the first comment underneath about English eating habits made me laugh. The immediate reply under that one has absolutely broken me though.

Our village has a monthly film night and January was Brian and Charles, partly because it was shot locally. Not a genre I’d normally seek but it was lovely; weird but heartwarming. And North Wales looks stunning.

A useful thing about TikTok's 'thoughts?' bubble is that Solo's permanent lack of them is revealed for all to see

I joined the Daily Post (aka North Wales Live) in 2013 and this branded mug has been a prized possession ever since. Today it developed a crack and has to be retired from coffee duties. No way is it being thrown out though.

Told my neighbour I was not the slightest bit crafty, and she said "challenge accepted".
The wreath was (a bit) easier to make than the star but it's safe to say crafting is not my thing.

We survived Storm Darragh although yesterday we were totally cut off by floods and fallen trees. There's still no electricity or mobile signal so after a day of reading by torch and cooking on a log burner, decamping to town was necessary. Looks like Llandudno has been battered too

If the sun is out, he's going in his pool. Doesn't matter if there's frost on the ground.

Walked a solid half mile non-stop this morning, my longest walk for 11 weeks. It was a glorious morning for it. Never ignore a niggle in your back, it's no joke (or quick solution) trying to fix it. #running

Lots of writing and screen work today, but I did manage to take the boys out in the snow. They're big fans.

This morning was spent at Oxford's Worcester College - what a beautiful (if labyrinthine) place.

I thought this type of ad had gone away but today I keep seeing variations of it all over the Mail's mobile site. (The scribbling is me, because I'm not sharing her face). There's no way to report it either.

We had an 8hr (pre-warned) power cut today, which also meant no mobile signal or internet. I’m also ill so… flasks were filled, the fire was lit, I read SK’s Holly (did not expect the way it unfolded either), and taught the shell game to the spaniels.
