No rest for the wicked!.. I’ve had once a week Nora on the phone in a panic. Her over weight kitty “Dulcia vitality” has got stuck going out the cat flap. She’s making a terrible racket and all Norah can see is a furry pencil sharpener. I’ve sent Everard round with my WD40..

Well I’m home alone for tea tonight as Everard goes to his sausage club on a Monday. He’s hoping to tempt the members with his Cumberland ring tonight. I did try it years ago before I became a veggie but it was all gristle & skin. Everard’s always gone for a cheap sausage..

Glory be, what a face Dermot O’Leary is pulling on @thismorning with @AlisonHammond Looks like one of them has passed wind according to Roger Mycock, who’s just popped round for a Mellow Birds. Quick, Everard - pass me the Glade Vanilla Bean… Pchit, pchit, pchit… 💨

I say @romankemp look at your wriggly feet on the go during your podcast… Everard was all agog! 😳 and asks if they have their own insta account? 🤔 Best wishes to you!

Oooo I’m like a spent rag in this heat. I’ve just been outside to check my borders, I could cry. All of the pansies are wilting although Everard’s red hot poker is still erect…

I’ve had Roger Mycock here today, wearing the skimpiest pair of canary yellow shorts & some Poundland flip-flops. If I’d heard them coming down my front entry I’d have pretended I was out. He’d been baking & brought me a sausage roll. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry..

Well I'm all agog, look at
@Peston's barnet. Everard says he must've taken his curler out but forgot to comb it through. Gladys Uppard next door will be all hot n bothered, after a stiff Emva Cream one night she confessed she'd love to run her fingers through his locks. Fancy.

Poor Fred. I bet he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I once spotted my neighbour, Gladys Uppard pegging out 2 of her wigs on the washing line. She’d tried to disguise them by attaching 2 plastic dolls from Poundland but I knew the truth.. the dolls were tiny in comparison!😆

Coronation Street - written by John Stevenson (23rd April 1979). Fred's new hairpiece doesn't go unnoticed.

Well I don’t know whether I’m coming or going! Here I am stood in my galley kitchen with a wet rag in my hand & I’ve no idea what I came in here for. Everard is in the lean-to with his pal Lancôme Bird choreographing their new Eurovision ribbon dance. Apparently it’s too secret..

When times were difficult and life was stressful, Larry would keep us all entertained. The world needs more like him.
And actually Isla wasn't too bad either.

Ooo I don’t know whether to laugh or cry! I was just going to have a couple of my lemon puff biscuits with my mellow Birds ☕️ and then this popped up on my feed. That 👅 tongue, reminds me of something else. Can’t think what..

Gd morning! What a lovely, gay day. Everard’s gone out for a walk in the woods with his pal Lancôme Bird & Gladys Uppard, next door, has been out pruning her overgrown bush on her frontage in her pink housecoat! I’m making myself a coffee and may dunk a chocolate finger! Hey ho

Glory be! Everard is all agog watching @radioleary and @AlisonHammond doing their shoulder rolls to ABC.. “Laz, d’you think if I did those movements with my shoulders people would find me alluring at the gentleman’s disco?..” I told him no. They’d think you were Thomas The tank

Awe, you are kind to think of me at this sad time. Yes I raised a glass tonight and toasted dear Dame Evadne and Hilda, now reunited at last! I shall always think of them both whenever I have a stiff one in future. You’ve given me a moist cheek! #Emvacream #HingeAndBracket ❤️

Oh dear I seem to have upset this person with my tweet, they clearly prefer to exist in a world devoid of humour. Everard, quick pour me a large Emva Cream…I don’t know whether to laugh or cry! 😂

That's actually Sir Karl Jenkins, a renowned Welsh composer. His music compositions were used during the Coronation. You Conspiracy Theorists sure were working overtime yesterday AND today. Must be nice to have all that extra time to make up wild crap.
