The half a billion pounds the Tories have spent on the Rwanda scheme so far would have covered last year's cuts to adult social care. Twice over.

And don't forget to tune in to the People's Podcast, out very soon, where Jenny Eclair and I are talking about Ep 4 (and also microdosing mushrooms, whether I'm AI and if Jenny should replace me as the statshead after I make an EGREGIOUS ERROR)

Whoop!!!

Done

This weeks @roomportraitclub challenge on insta!

Bargain alert number 2 - Sainsbury’s are selling large cut soft cotton bretton sweatshirts for £14 - normally I’d buy a 16 if I wanted a baggy fit - but the 14 is plenty big enough for me

codger perk alert, the N Portrait gallery offers half price tix on Mondays (over 60's) for their 'pay to enter' exhibitions, the permanant collection is wonderful and free, but the half price tix on Mons mean £8pp for the special shows- other galleries please take note

All the cool local kids need to get down to a couple of art shows held in a two derelict houses 139 and 137 Copeland Road- only today and tomorrow- I loved it - it felt exciting and like the 80s again

Tried a pot tulip ‘lasagna’ with bulbs from Sarah Raven- first lot of fat creamy numbers came out beautifully and have now died back - the orange ones refuse to fully open and have been in this state for two weeks or more? Also will Lino ink ever dry on a wooden panel - thank you

New bumper ep- judith and Jenny pull off the cheap lunch in posh place trick -Judith has overstretched, Jenny has been doing a lot of ‘tray work’ and the famous flapjack recipe is up on the notice board ( @olderandwiderpodcast on insta) podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/old…

This, this someone step in - this is so cool and would be such an amazing thing to do/ he’s right there are no theatre concessions for pensioners and it’s a shame - oh god everything in this country is so mean and miserable- this bloke is ace

The madness of this gvt - article suggests they seem to think that there can suddenly be some magic help ( therapists both mental and physical) who will get people fit for work - there is so little mental health help in this country, as for any therapy - most have to wait or pay

Anyway / I went swimming - with the silver swim mob - swimming with the codgers, what’s not to like? #over60perks

Every time I’m in a chemist’s - people being told items on their prescription are not available - this country is becoming tragic - and it’s dirty

The brilliance of this is as ridiculous as it is, you still have to check

This by has ‘massive hit’ all over it - really nicely read too ( Joanne Frogget) v much recommended #thelistofsuspiciousthings
