My (admittedly limited) understanding of police ranks makes me unsurprised that Amanda is about as perceptive as a house brick. DCI is management innit. Probably investigated more HR disputes than actual crimes. #Traitors

Like every reality show I’ve ever watched I’m bored of the premise of The Traitors now. Any “dramatic revelation” and I’m as underwhelmed as Pam.

Bethels is a genuine find. Debut FC century in an away Ashes series is quite the confidence builder.

Today was my first day in a decade as a main scale member of staff and not a senior manager. Decided that leadership roles are not for me and I wanted to enjoy teaching again.

I’ve had a hacking cough all Christmas and I’ve been coughing so much I have strained all my stomach and chest muscles. Every new cough is agony. I’ve taken to wearing a back brace on backwards to immobilise me as much as possible. Didn’t see this coming when I was in my 20s.

Pantomime very, very rude. Loved it. Salisbury Playhouse Pantomime up there with the best. No C list celebrities, just great sets and costumes, and plenty of digs at neighbouring towns.

Three innings of cricket in one day. Time to burn more bails (or sack the groundskeeper) because that was the death of test cricket (again). #TheAshes

I know it’s nostalgia rather than a literal truth, but I feel like Christmas television as a child was wall to wall event TV. Now there’s literally nothing I would tune in for.
