What’s purple, wrinkled and dangerous?
An electric prune

This was a Christmas cracker joke when I was about 10, and o still remember it 47 years later 😏

Hello, I’m Lehcär, a pop up wardrobe

Beautiful… 🎶 this took me right back to the Moscow of my student days. Thank you for reminding us that not all Russians are warmongers. Wishing Valentina a speedy recovery ❤️

Needed this today 😊

Currently loving this…

I’m sorry you lost (though I love Caitlin Moran). But I wanted to say how much I appreciated this morning’s Ask Philippa (Sun 24th). Such a needed piece right now. Thank you.

The Rest is History, with Tom Holland (the historian, not actor!) and Dominic Sandbrook. Informative, challenging, entertaining. Single episodes and short series. Is helping plug gaps in my knowledge in an accessible way.

Butter, milk and a very old jar of my Dad’s green tomato chutney. I can’t bring myself to eat it as he died later the same year and he wrote the label by hand. To be fair, it’s probably inedible now..

You look fabulous!
