If anyone thinks 10 years in prison is ‘enough,’ go and ask the mother who buried her child after a missile strike. Ask the father whose little one was taken across a border and never returned✍️ Yuliia Bond wp.me/p8Mk4U-19k5

Did you hear the one about the gay comic, the dual race actor, the black historian and the alpha male rugby player? They lied to each other in a game then just had a great big cuddle and became friends for life. #CelebrityTraitors

Useful reminder from Peter Kellner on the problems we refuse to acknowledge are getting better, and the politics of hopelessness that this breeds

Another beautiful wintery walk with the lovely idiot dog, this time in the Garw Valley. Crisp, clear and cleansing #valleyslife #cymru

We're roasting a duck for dinner, which means it's time for my favourite cooking instruction courtesy of Fanny Cradock: "Rub salt into the skin as if into the face of your worst enemy" #cookingistherapy

A few potential words of the day:

Joblijock: a disturber of domestic peace (small children, cantankerous uncles, etc).

Yule-hole: the furthest notch in your belt that you need to resort to at Christmas.

Confelicity: joy in other people’s happiness.

Merry Christmas.

There were probably more sensible options for an afternoon walk - especially given the weather, and current lurgy - but few more scenic. Lucky to have this ten minutes from the door #penybontarogwr #bridgend
