#Paris, this has been a huge disappointment. What a rubbish #OpeningCeremony. And just to ask, did they hoist the #OlympicFlag upside down??

Wordle 943 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩. I’ve played #Wordle nearly 500 times and mostly started with the same word all that time. Yesterday it was _the_ word. What do I do now? Change my start??

By wonderful fortune, have briefly become the proud owners of the two best #cheese in the world, ⁦@VillageMaid⁩ #Waterloo and #Wigmore. Suspect the ownership will be fleeting…

Some curious pricing seen in @Asda Castle Lane, #Bournemouth, this weekend. Was this deliberate, or an honest mistake? @AsdaServiceTeam

There are 45 billion lithium-ion batteries in circulation globally at the moment (according to Kevin Howlette speaking at #IWMA conference). Wow.

I’ll be delivering the International Keynote presentation this afternoon at the Irish Waste Management Association’s conference in Dublin. My subject is the #CircularEconomy and #ClimateChange, and how #LCA can help explore the interactions. #IWMA

Umm, so the #WorldCupFinal started at 3pm, not 7pm? Have I missed anything?

Our #cheeseboard last night comprised four of the best cheeses in the world, yet all British. Big thanks to: @VillageMaid for #Wigmore & #Waterloo; @RosaryGoats for ash-coated log; & @YummyStilton for #Beauvale

I did the weekly shop at Castlepoint today in #Bournemouth. I wanted #British #asparagus. @asda & @sainsburys only had Peruvian. @marksandspencer boasted they get all theirs from one #British farm. Sold out. That’s rubbish, all of you! Off to @sopleyfarm 2moro. @DorsetFoodDrink

I was one of over a third of a million people jabbed yesterday. Quite amazing when you think about it. A small but positive step towards beating #COVID19. Apparently, the vaccine I received is the one that makes you even more handsome...
2 months ago I posted a #parcel to my Mum, using #DPD. They #lost it, found it, and now seem to have lost it again. I can talk to no-one. I can chat on-line to nice but ultimately useless staff. Like insurance, you only find how bad they are when things go wrong :-( @dpd_support
Lovely dinner tonight, followed by a wonderful #cheese board of #local fare: @RosaryGoats, #Winslade from @hampshirecheese and #CoastalCheddar from @FordFarmCheese. Thank-you, all!
Well, that the first time I’ve ever seen @SladesPark skate park absolutely empty. The only soul there is my black miniature #poodle Mishka. Can you see him? It’s his 7th birthday today!
