Oh, I should have included decimalisation - a really big deal for me as my mum was a sub-postmistress. And the strikes: candles and eating tea cooked over a calor gas stove.

I caught the end of it, just before Strictly, but I'll definitely be watching. Hamza's joy and wonder are infectious - we need more like him!

From the picture it looks like this is IN MICE, but a cautious WOW from me.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Yes, I occasionally get odd looks, but if people question me, they tend to understand. Mind you, it doesn't seem to encourage them to mask 🤦‍♀️

What five events defined your childhood?
Neighbours being shown on BBC- even a weird kid like me could join in class talk

Live Aid

Freddie’s death & tribute concert

Watching When the Wind Blows in RE. Sheer terror for weeks.

Fall of Berlin Wall - slight relief from
thought of above.

It's dreadful, isn't it? I very rarely see another person masking - unless it's my daughter, who wants to protect me.

Agreed. Once again, the vagaries of the British voting public come into question. But I'm definitely voting for her next week, barring anything terrible.

Well, unless she does anything terrible, I'm voting for Balvinder next week!

Thank everyone. It wouldn't be the same without you. Have a great week x

I found I was holding my breath during spellbinding and moving dance from Kai and Nancy to that lovely piece from Lang Lang. #Strictly
