As some of you already know, I spend an awful lot of time on Twitter. Inspired by Stoptober, I thought I'd see if I could do without my addiction for a month, missing out on all the lavatory humour, outrage and Trump-baiting. Initially, I thought I'd just do it for myself, to prove that I could, but then I thought I could drum up a few shekels for a cause close to my heart. Teckels is one of our local animal sanctuaries, and they're blooming marvellous, so I thought they'd be the ideal recipients of whatever loose change you can offer.
