National Gardening Week starts on Monday and the focus this year is giving advice to new and inexperienced gardeners. I've put together a list of links to help beginners create their own haven.

Pedro Pascal, an actual good person, has a message for JK Rowling and every neo-nazi cunt who has allied with her.

An image of Pedro Pascal with his quote regarding his trans sister and other trans people superimposed over the image, which says: "I can't think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people, who want nothing from you except the right to exist."

ON TRIAL - not me, these powerful STIGA SC100e pruning shears. Apologies for the lack of make-up and messy hair but you get to see how these loppers work, enabling me to tackle jobs I thought were beyond me! Thanks to STIGA and Rabbit Attack PR.

This is the fabulously tiled Centurion bar at Newcastle Central Station - a lost gem for decades! (Look it up.) I always wondered how they cleaned those tiles - that poor guy has the longest hoover extension I've ever seen!

Sitting under the clock at the Central Station on a nippy but sunny first day of spring. It never fails to amaze me that so much history is at my feet here - on top of Hadrian's Wall with the castle at the end of the platform. London bound for big wool show tomorrow!

Next stage completed. Top pattern cut out in old blue sheet with freeform crochet suns laid on top in oranges, reds and yellows. The rest will be filled with lacy freeform shapes shading gradually from almost black to sunset lilacs and peaches to a black silhouette landscape at the bottom.

For the first time in my life, Newcastle United have won a trophy. We don't know what to do with ourselves! We're never going to get a fella out tomorrow to fix our knackered dishwasher. In fact, tomorrow should just be declared a Bank Holiday on Tyneside. No one's going to put in a shift.
