I'm staying here, getting things done and entertaining.

Here are some of my favourite 3BT posts for the week.

• James at Outré steals a kiss.
• Genevieve recalls a film her father loved.
• Kelly notices a warm red glow.
• Lynn's waiter doesn't know what margarine is.
• Louisa notes two pleasing sounds.
• Carolyn's days are getting longer.
• Witney shares some holiday snaps.
• Merope plays favourites on the bird table.
• Cherry Red appreciates her job with benefits.
• Kat salutes tenacious city cyclists.
• Happy Frog and I has a strong local arts scene.

And the 3BT podcast is up.

1. A snap decision to stay at home, rather than going out into the stormy morning.

2. The washing is mostly done when Nick gets home. "I should leave you in charge more often," he says.


3. The new wife's worst nightmare. My husband's boss comes round for dinner unexpectedly. Actually, Charlotte calls to say she's in town, and we tell them: "Come now, there's enough supper for two more."
