There's something about the autumn that finds me
constantly tweeting along to the TV.
It probably looks like I’ve nothing better
to do with my time, though in a way, it’s a time-saver, as it indirectly gives me a bit of a break from finding things
to discuss here; I’ll often abandon my usual prose-based blogs, in favour of a summary
of my Twitter ramblings on whichever show was on that night; it’s not my fault that University Challenge,
Strictly Come Dancing and The Great British Bake Off all air at once.
Tonight’s Bake Off was a pastry-case
in point. See below for what came to mind whilst watching this evening's show.
At the risk of a spoiler, it was a shame to see Rav go. Did you also know that
Bruce Willis was dead in Sixth Sense? When it comes to spoiling people’s fun, I’m the best.
