Two days ago I got the Purina cat food with just chicken not chicken and salmon. So, my cats went on a hunger strike and wouldn’t allow me to sleep at night. This morning at 5am I went back to the store to get the “right” variety. I will not be making that mistake again. #cats #blog

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

Drove 17 y/o and friends to a house party last night. Once they were all buckled up I announced "party bus, activated!" Told this morning never to speak again in a mum taxi situation. I will speak again.

Happy 80th birthday to the fab Tim Curry, pictured with Rocky Horror creator, Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff & Patricia Quinn as Magenta. I once interviewed O'Brien who said that Frank n' Furter was a reflection of his own diverse sexuality. For moderns who like absolutes -sometimes there aren't any.

Huckleberry would like you to see his belly.

8PM me at the restaurant: “Coffee and baklava while I wait out the downpour? Genius!” 2AM me, wide awake: “Idiot.”

It’s always weird realising that people will pay more for a blank Moleskine notebook than for a novel.

It is spattered on the window frame Tiny mole hills of black mould It blooms joyously across the plaster Nestles where it meets the wood We've tried to scour it off Fine mists of corrosive chemicals It remains, patient Proudly marking Each dark breath we take #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

Sprung from the ground Arms flung wide Sheathed in green velvet Only you know what resilience is Stretching,splayed, reaching for the sea-blue sky Dividing yourself again and again But finding strength in the domination of space I blink and you are imprinted on my eyelids. I ache to hold you.

Sat by the fountains A cherry blossom blizzard Flies over my head #haiku

The earth is in bloom A puzzle of light Singing birds battle away They smell the dark grass The flood of spring dew #poetry

The sun on my back. Sends waves of warmth down my spine. Incredible bliss. #haiku

Happy Christmas Eve Eve #catsofbluesky #cats

Have finally realised that instead of having an Americano with milk, I can have a cappuccino and enjoy it more.
