I wonder if Susie Dent has secretly moved to New Zealand. Her latest words of the day are spot on for here. 'fandandering', an old adjective from Northumberland meaning lazy and good-for-nothing. 'quiddling': attending to trivial tasks as a way of avoiding the important ones.

At the time of writing, our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital.
