Sofa bed with huge, suspicious yoga pillow. I have, however, unplugged the baby monitor as I’m not making *that* mistake again this year. #DuvetKnowItsChristmas @rhodri.biz

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year:

A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

I've stuck randomly generated conspiracies onto Matt from the Telegraph's cartoons to create "Tinfoil Matt"

(Not AI, me writing templates, the good old fashioned way to do these things with a strong degree of authorship.)

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

Once I asked a nurse why they say “just a little scratch” for an injection, bc it doesn’t feel like a scratch. A beat, and then she said quietly “we’re trained not to say just a little prick.”

There will be many deserved tributes to the late Chris Rea but I will always think of the naming of this stroppy bird from Hertfordshire, and smile www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/news/hertfor...

When I worked at Royal Mail as part of the induction they showed us the section of the sorting office dedicated to working out vague/badly addressed post. One letter was addressed as a set of cryptic crossword clues and got to its destination.
