1/. I often chat to Gus who sells chestnuts on the Heath, but I only recently heard his story

In 2007, he & his wife Inez, got news most people only ever dream of

A TV company made them a multi-million pound offer to use their trademark ‘Golden Balls’.
2/. Golden Balls was the nickname Inez had given Gus when they'd met & he'd been a keen footballer

They used the name for their clothes shop/product line

When @victoriabeckham revealed David had the same nickname they contacted the Beckhams to checked there were no legal issues
3/. They licensed the name "Golden Balls" to Endemol to use in the Jasper Carrott-fronted ITV game show

By 2007, the show as was more popular than Deal Or No Deal

It had just been recommissioned & was about to be sold around the globe

Gus & Inez were going to be very wealthy.

“Today, the work begins.” @WhiteHouse

“On the shore, I watched the sails unfurl, flap then billow, & felt my heart billow too. ‘May the wind always be at your back’ I said, & my soft words were carried away on the salty, sea breeze.” (Emerson Warner).
2/. “When day comes we ask ourselves where can we find light in this never-ending shade?”

@TheAmandaGorman’s powerful #InaugurationDay  poem captioned in 3 parts by @janesamikim

3/. “The loss we carry a sea we must wade. We’ve braved the belly of the beast. We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace. In the norms and notions of what just is isn’t always justice. And yet, the dawn is ours before we knew it. Somehow we do it.”

"If you see me – shivering & dumbed with loss – stand by me. Because grief needs a witness.”

Today, people in the USA will come together in a moment of collective grief for the 400,000 souls lost to #COVID19 there

#CovidMemorialDay is a day for all of us

Grief is the collateral damage of love. The deeper the love, the more painful the grief

Shakespeare warns
“Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers o’er-fraught heart & bids it break”

#COVIDMemorialDay is a day to put words to our sorrow
covidmemorialday.org.uk/2020/12/20/cov…
One doesn’t truly recover from loss

If you are lucky, you will heal from loss

But never completely

Unless we process our grief it can turn into anger or depression

We've seen a lot of that over the last year

#CovidMemorialDay is a moment to remember

A moment to grieve.

PRESS RELEASE for #CovidMemorialDay USA covidmemorialday.org.uk/2020/12/20/cov…
"To live in this world you must be able to do three things:

To love what is mortal

To hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it

And, when the time comes to let it go. To let it go."

Sue McAlpine reads ‘In Black Water Woods’ for #CovidMemorialDay.

Can anyone on Twitter tell me what this is? Thanks
Thanks for the responses!

It seems it's either a plant (oak gall or cedar apple) or a fungus (orange mycena or wolf's milk)

Apparently, they're collected & used to create a hair dye for Donald Trump

It shows what you can see when you look close enough 👇
“For millennia the pods floated in space like spores, propelled by solar winds, occasionally landing on inhabited planets where they would replace the dominant species by spawning emotionless, stony-eyed replicas...” (Invasion of the Body Snatchers)

Still lack of checks at airports. We know about Brazilian & S.African variants so why not close off the air corridors?

Victoria Aitkins: “Travel measures take a little bit of time...There’s a delicate balancing act btw controlling the virus & the economy”
Ystdy, @YvetteCooperMP asked the PM what the govt are doing to stop new S.African variant spreading in the UK.

Why have people been able to travel from SA to UK for last 4wks without being tested & can go on public transport.

@BorisJohnson didn’t know!
“Oh god!”

Questioned about his govt’s repeated inexplicable failures to try & control #COVID19 at airports & lack of action to protect the UK from a new Brazilian variant of #coronavirus @BorisJohnson appeared to mutter “oh god” under his breath.
