Bloody hell. At my local Belgian beer bar. Thought I'd try something new. Boon Kriek Mariage Parfait. A naturally tart and sour beer. It was ยฃ11 for a 300ml bottle and I only found out both facts after buying it! Apparently it needs to mature in the bottle for 5 yrs, so I am not enjoying it... ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Wow! Last year Mrs L was thinking about buying herself the Tropic advent calendar but was put off by the price tag of ยฃ149. This year? ยฃ299. Seriously. These companies are taking the piss.

This needs a bit of help. ๐Ÿ™ I've just added my name to the call for the UK to join the European Union by 2036. A stronger economy, more jobs, greater security, and a louder voice in the world. Add your name: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/join_eu_by_2...

Finally given in and switched to an electric vehicle. Don't know what all the fuss is about, it's a cold, windy, uncomfortable ride and the acceleration is rubbish!

Trump may not have won the Nobel Peace Prize, but he should be awarded this NOPEL peace prize... Narcissistic Orange Paedo Egomaniacal Loser

Can you imagine the derisory coverage and outright mockery if any other party with single-digit MPs decided to "declare a General Election" and go on a bus tour? Yet when this outlandish nonsense comes from Farage, it is treated as somehow brilliant. "Subscribe to continue..." No thanks. I'm good.

Brace yourselves. I have found the most annoying thing on the Internet. Behold: fridge styling. Frankly I think we might as well let our AI overlords finish us off.

Morning Yesterday I refilled the ink in my EcoTank printer... I last filled it 6.5 years ago! I bought 4 original ink bottles for ยฃ28. Pretty good value!

Busy day. On about 3 hours sleep I was up and tidying/cleaning up post-party. 10k steps done before midday. Then packing all the crockery and glassware away into storage until next year. Shattered! ๐Ÿซฉ

Today I shall be mostly looking after approx 100 ladies at a charity event, pouring fizz and taking photographs - not at the same time!

Ordered an item off eBay, agreed to pay for next day delivery - it's going to have taken an entire week by the time it arrives. #parcelfarce

The gentle kiss of dawn. I haven't left the house since my surgery on Tuesday. This morning I persuaded my husband who was of course delighted to be woken up at 04.30am to drive me up to a lane nearby Glastonbury Tor ๐Ÿ˜‚. The colour in the sky was just beautiful to see and it was so good for my soul.

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

John le Carrรฉ described Boris Johnson as a "mob orator" who fired up people with nostalgia and with anger. He said "What really scares me about nostalgia is that it's become a political weapon. Creating a nostalgia for an England that never existed, and selling it as something we could return to"
