I am as in touch with my inner six-year-old as the next person, but I nevertheless rejoiced when I thought you had moved on from Kim-Joy bakes (G2, 16 January) but no, she is back and offering us lemon tarts decorated with emoji. Honestly, it’s fine; I am happy to eat cake without a face.

• My daughter and I were surprised to see Kim-Joy’s column interrupted by David Atherton’s “fit food” (G2, 9 January). His flapjacks could definitely be improved by icing cute faces on them ;-).

• Refilling is nothing new (Asda store to offer big brands in bring-your-own refill containers, 16 January). In Burgundy in the 1980s I remember being able to refill empty bottles from a barrel of local wine at a rural supermarket.

• I’ll be smoking a Big Ben bong to dull the pain of being a citizen of the second most stupid country in the world (Downing St kills off the Brexit bells, 17 January).

• A mere 77-year-old making a piffling 15lb of marmalade (Letters, 17 January), I accidently sliced into my finger, and as I am on blood thinners and was alone in the house, I did have doubts whether I might not get to the end of the process, or the process might outlive me.

• I can’t compete in the marmalade-making stakes, but do wonder how much might fit into a 35mm film canister.
