Just thought I'd remind the world that I'm actually a seamstress with over 20 years experience (yes I'm that old) .No job too small

Replying to @jan_murray
Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy. One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what?? The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you. Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

Suffragette figures/game pieces used in the 1909 'Pank-a-Squith' board game. Depending on what square your suffragette figure falls on, you follow instructions such as: ‘Dodges the police, move ahead two squares' #womensart

Less than 24 hours to go before I do my first ever talk about @browns_chester Yes I am nervous but hopefully my passion for the subject will come through and any mistakes will be forgiven. I've no idea if anyone is coming, apart from 3 friends. I'm doing it anyway!

Next Saturday as part of @heritagechester I'll be presenting a talk about my favourite building. Tickets are free. It will be in Picturehouse. I'll be chatting about the history, the architecture and why did we all get lost when we shopping there.

Hey @BBCNews , got a story for you! About 11 reform new councillors have stepped down or been expelled already! It will cost a lot to elect new ones. How about running that as a story, just for a smidgen of impartiality?

All over England today, hundreds of new councillors with remits that cover potholes, bins and adult social care are going to be meeting to figure out how to stop the boats.

“Helga, you will bring to me at once the painting of The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies by Van Klomp—the original, not one of the many forgeries.”

So this is happening! Come along and hear me waffle on about my favourite building. Have I done any public speaking before? No I am terrified? Yes But I'm sure you all know how passionate I am about the Browns building, so hopefully it will be an interesting talk. And it's free!
