Happy Christmas Eve - which of course sees the release of my annual Christmas Ghost Story. Wherever you are spending Christmas we wish you a wonderfully happy - and slightly spooky one. buzzsprout.com/1568020/episo…
What happened to the ‘comic’ in #ComicRelief? Oh look - these are all the people who have died in the last 40 years!

So, watching #TopOfThePops on BBC4, and who should pop up? It appears Patrick wasn’t just a Scout Leader! #BBCGhosts #Ghosts @JimHowick @benwillbond

Perfect night for @Nigella_Lawson’s lemony tomato cous-cous with salmon. Flaked it through as it’s far too hot in the south west of France for formality! (Hit 45 degrees today in Lagrasse 😳🥵)

The slashes clearly represent the cuts the government have made over the years. #NHS75
On hold for over 10mins now. I’m assuming you’re not answering calls either, @InPostUK ?
@InPostUK I was expecting a parcel between 29/06 and 03/07. It hasn’t arrived. I’ve messaged you through your website (twice) and not had a reply. This is needed by Wednesday at the latest. It was posted on 27/06.
Looking at your Tweets here, this sadly seems quite common 🙄
