No spoilers! A riveting semi-final this evening and 3 brilliant finalists for next week. So much talent, audience engagement, and sheer joy in performing. @PetrocTrelawny seemed as bowled over as we all were.

Knit yourself an authentic Polperro or St Ives Double Twist Guernsey this winter following the knitting patterns in Mary White’s fascinating book about ‘Cornish Guernseys and Knit Frocks’.

Good morning to Hannah French and @BBCRadio3 Breakfasters. Enjoying the programme and hoping everyone’s OK. Dry and calm here for now, though we’ll have to see what the day brings.

Thoughts from Monty Don this evening about the good that gardening can do for us (and him), and gratitude from us for all that he’s given us over the years. #GardenersWorld

This year’s hollyhock stems have been cut down but the “nursery” for next year looks promising. #Hollyhocks #GardenersWorld

A wet blustery day but @BBCRadio3 has brought delights, and we’ve certainly fared better than Cornwall and elsewhere - sympathy to all those affected. Greetings to @PetrocTrelawny and #InTune listeners. A bit too early for a Friday aperitif but enjoying the music and chat.
