Lewis Hamilton says women are the most beautiful things on the planet and therefore should be grid girls. I think giraffes are the most beautiful things on the planet and my campaign for grid giraffes starts here. #gridgiraffes #f1

Further proof, if it were needed, that you can get away with anything if you're wearing hi-vis.

They're just flying by to check Jarvis brought his Relish.
A real #Glastonbury moment ✈️ The Red Arrows flew over the festival during Pulp's song Common People.

Armed forces minister Luke Pollard doing a sterling job of pronouncing it "nucular" repeatedly on @BBCBreakfast this morning.

There's plenty wrong in the world today, but I'm baffled by the idea you can look at it and conclude the things that need fixing are working from home and treating others equally.

Learnt today that you can type any nonsense into Google followed by "meaning", and AI will assume you're searching a well-known human phrase and frantically come up with what it thinks it could mean.

I don't want to be *that* person, but I am, so here we are. It's BETWIXTMAS. It's taken from the word 'betwixt', meaning between. It has nothing to do with chocolate-covered biscuits. Sadly.

I do love living in Harrogate but I've just seen an advert for a Christmas event lasting 45 minutes that would cost £57 for a family of four and you can bloody bet it'll sell out.

My son, who has recently been sleeping until after 6.30am for the first time in his life, has of course chosen today to get up an hour early. Clock change tonight is going to be a car crash. Still, it's been a while since I saw 4.43am, so that's something to look forward to.

I’ve been sitting on this news for a while. I love being an author but I feel it’s time for a change. So…I’ve decided to become a film star! It’s something I’ve wanted to do since being a little girl and I’m so excited for my new venture! I hope you all enjoy my new film 🙏

Just had a look at the schedule for the @HarrogateFest Raworths Literary Festival and basically if you need me in October, you'll find me there. Incredible line-up. #Harrogate #literature #culture

I still do not understand what I did with all my free time before children.

One day, in years to come, we'll have to explain all this (*gestures generally at the world*) to our grandchildren for their history essays.
