Tom’s voice really irritates me: he’ll probably be offered a presenting job once he leaves the tent. Yannis, and Gary are lovely. The rest of the women, I’m sad to say, are meh. #GBBO

West Country widow. Trying to keep the ranting down and the positive energy up. LDBH = late dearly beloved husband. KoLer. Bloom County. I don’t follow back if all you do is repost. I like original content.
Not sure I’ve really warmed to any of the contestants. Moe and the doctor seem the most interesting, though the Polish woman has promise. #GBBO
How many vowels could you get into the word “bake”? Because Hammond managed about 9. Are we doomed to have TV presenters on every channel incapable of speaking English properly? #GBBO
“Fineroony”. One is going to tire of her VERY quickly. #GBBO
It’s going to be a warm and humid night (in London, but not for the rest of you yokels) weather forecasters mean when they talk about warmth. #BBCWeather
I doubt the King ever thought he'd be grateful to Piers Morgan, but if one lie in the book exists, maybe others do. #BBCpm
Earl Spencer and Piers Morgan deserve each other. #SleazeDoubled #bbcpm
#Robomower working again after a prolonged sulk on its part and a further attempt to mow gravel. 🙄
This mild weather is all very well, but I am getting eaten to death by midges.
I wish C4 would agree to join iPlayer. It might mean I can locate a programme without 13 dozen frustrating steps.
Good to see solidarity among the White House Press Pool. It's a pity that the media over here is so divided. #BBCPM
Floorers playing some bangin’ tunes on the radio. And occasionally singing along. They have asked (belatedly) if the noise is OK.
Christmas online grocery shopping dates are available. Ugh.
Call My Bluff, with lovely, lovely Patrick Campbell and bonus, Paul Eddington, is on BBC3 tonight.
Prawn stir-fry with noodles tonight, because I’m feeling lazy and want something quick and simple.
Bill Nighy. Does anyone know why he’s not Sir Bill Nighy? Or Sir William, if he would prefer that. Or a Duke…
I have caught up a bit with #TheGreatPotteryShowdown. Delighted for Richard Herring, whom I once met and who struck me on that very brief acquaintance (hi and goodbye) as an exceedingly nice man.
Mark Carney: “I would now like to inform you that the teleprompter has ceased to function. Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy.”
Lib Dems will be a firewall against Nigel Farage, Davey says

Trump’s “control over Greenland signed and sealed”. No such thing, of course. He lied.
Paid for the new electric fire; paid the roofer; still awaiting the decorator’s invoice. Feeling slightly broke. 💸🤑
Doomscrolling, as yer do in the middle of the night, and came across a video clip of David Bowie and David Gilmour performing Comfortably Numb. Don’t ever diss doomscrolling.
Gnocchi for supper, with local ham, my home-grown beef tomatoes, Cornish Fetish cheese, Devon Haytor cheese, and local buffalo mozzarella. #KeepingItLocal
