Hello @Morrisons . Booked a food delivery for my housebound, disabled, elderly dad, he got a call this morning to say its cancelled. I managed to sort a redelivery for tonight by calling you but that’s now been cancelled again. The only slot I can get now is Thursday. Do better.

Word fact of the day: ‘penguin’ is one of the few words in the dictionary of Welsh origin: it comes from ‘pen gwyn’, ‘white head’.
(And a reminder that penguins were also once known affectionately as ‘arsefeet’.)

Booked a last minute holiday to Malaga (city) and planning to also stay in #Ronda for a few days. Anyone got any tips? We’re not planning on hiring a car - wouldn’t mind a decent day trip to one of the parks or similar.

I love darts and snooker and curling and at the moment I’m loving #WorldIndoorBowls (yes really!). Big up @gordonsian for some of the best sports commentary I’ve heard in a long time too.

Not sure how true this is, but many years ago my mum/dad told me my first words were 'Whocar'.
True or not, I loved it then, and still love it now.
Happy 60th birthday Doctor Who 🎈

Can we stop talking about how ‘that industry’ is broken and allowed/allows RB and others to abuse power.
It’s men. In any industry.
Were you lot not watching the World Cup?!!!

Brilliant interview with @FayeGaskin on @bbc5live by @HelenSkelton. Sat in my parked car and it’s too good to turn the radio off … what an amazing ambassador for rugby league and women’s sport. Deserves plenty 🍺 after yesterdays match!

Nurses from Ghana who had never seen snow before danced for joy in Belfast this week as wintry flakes fell. ❄️❄️
Adwoa Aninkore said: “I felt like a child. Inside, I had that childlike feeling of joy. I was excited because I have only seen snow on the TV" 🥹

It’s taken me about 15 years but I’ve finally finished Peter Ackroyd’s brilliant book, #London.
Reckon I’ll just start it again it’s that good.

Anyone in my Twittersphere been to #Faro city in Portugal?
Planning a week in June and short list is Almeria (Andalusia), Porto and Faro.
I like good food, places of peace, nature and am not a fan of mega touristy spots!
