A good day for both of my footie teams, each winning 2-0. @CrayValleyPM @WestHam. Alas, I’m having a dry January, so will toast them both tonight with a Diet Coke. Come on you Millers! #COYM. Come on you Irons! #COYI.

The words of this superb song, taken from the Book of Ecclesiastes, and turned into magic by ‘The Byrds’, seems most appropriate today. #DavidCrosby

I had Covid 16 months ago & still have absolutely no taste or smell. Does anyone have any sensible suggestions? I’ve tried a few homeopathic remedies, to no avail. I had the first two Covid injections & the booster, the last really knocked me for six. I won’t be having anymore.

Acknowledging they wouldn’t have the historic cash flow previously available in the past, were they to win power, is far bigger a story than many realise. Is it Kier’s ‘Clause 4’ moment? Fiscal responsibility will be a big factor in deciding our next govt.

Just paid my respects to my late wife’s uncle & old friend Harry, at his funeral. Aged 93, he was a boy soldier veteran of WW2 & later Palestine, Malaya, Korea & Nigeria. He was undoubtedly, one of the last remaining West African Frontier Force veterans. A true gentleman. #RIP

My Twitter Interaction Circle generated by http://TwitterCircle.com - A few faces that I didn’t expect to see, and a few missing that I thought I would’ve seen - My immediate thought was how different this is to what it would’ve been a year ago.

Two days into the New Year and paintings, a silk wall hanging and mirrors have been hung on the wall - Hardly an achievement you might think, until I confess that it’s been a year since the builders left.

The campaign medals of Othman, most probably a Zanzibari Muslim. A long serving Seedie in the Royal Navy, he fought in Egypt, three East African campaigns & the Boer War. Sadly, history nowadays largely ignores the service of such men, who don’t fit today’s political narrative.

‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ is such a sweet film, yet, I await sight of the Child Catcher, who remains, in my mind, the scariest film baddie of all time. Even at 53 years old, the thought of him still frightens the life out of me - A quite superb portrayal by Sir Robert Helpmann.

I’ve not lost my touch. A quick complimentary umbrella repair for my old friend & client @PgarrittyPaul. Best of luck at Cheltenham tomorrow - And don’t forget my friends at @InceUmbrellas, if you’re a bookie looking for a new ‘mush’. #bookmakersumbrellas

My lessons from 2022:
1. Avoid people consumed by their own ambition, and, if need be, walk away from them - Even when it creates more questions than answers.
2. When opportunity knocks, recognise it, and grab it with both hands.

A repeat today on TV that I’m really looking forward to today - The magnificent film ‘Zulu’, albeit with some artistic licence, bizarrely to the detriment of Henry Hook VC. It was Michael Caine’s breakthrough, with a superb cast.

By far, the funniest thing in my household this Christmas has been our Alexa still being completely unable to comprehend my wife’s Ulster accent. It’s been a constant source of amusement - Some of the computer generated responses have been better than the usual repeats on TV.

Just had one of those weird coincidence moments - I bought this pair of #WW1 medals on eBay to my family name, some years back & put them away. Having come across them again, after some quick research, it turns out that he was my Grandfather’s cousin Fred. I’m lost for words.

Another superb episode of the #repairshop. The nicest programme on TV. Would someone kindly pass me a tissue? I’ve got something in my eye.

A most lovely Christmas Royal message. The country is in safe hands. #GodSaveTheKing
