@_Michael_Marden I was extremely generous in defeat to Josh Widdicome on R4 this morning purely in the hope of getting on Parenting Hell to talk about being children's Laureate in dark times. Just FYI.

Got my throat blessed with a pair of candles this morning. When I was a kid people queued for this like they queue for the new iPhone now.
It is the Feast of St Blaise, patron of sore throats. He was a physician cum vet in Asia Minor in the 4th C and was martyred by being torn to pieces with iron combs so he’s also patron of knitting. If you go to church today you can get your throat blessed with Candlemas candles.
