I just walked past next door’s toddler who was totally blacked up and must have looked a bit shocked. ‘Ah,’ his mum explained, ‘He went to the face painting at the farm and asked to be a bat.’

Looking forward to Trump accepting this like the adult he is.

The lady opposite me on the train was reading this. To be fair she was only on the first chapter.

This morning, I burnt the toast, then noticed the birds had vandalised the garden again, then the bin men missed my bin (having emptied all the others on the street), then my printer produced 15 pages of gibberish due to an out-of-date driver. I don’t BELIEEEEVE it.

Apropos of nothing at all, if you've never seen this (or even if you have), it is one of the funniest things ever enacted, and I've never been so heartsore or gloomy that it can't lift my spirits. Please enjoy this as a gift.

Is it me, or does Kemi Badenoch do nothing but moan?

Old lady in Morrisons: How much? I’m not paying that! How much? I’m not paying that! How much? I’m not paying that! How much? I’m not paying that! How much? I’m not paying that! Exasperated son: Mum - it’s the COST OF LIVING.

Whatever you do,

A colleague didn’t recognise me in my glasses so I tried to joke “I’m Clark Kent” but accidentally declared “I’m Ken Clarke”

I do enjoy The Parisian Agency on Netflix and was therefore thrilled to make this cameo appearance.

I know he wasn’t perfect, but I was a big fan of Andy as a broadcaster and was thrilled when I once walked into B12 in BBC BH and he was sitting in the corner and suddenly said: ‘I know that voice. Are you Ian Peacock?’ I’d been too shy to say hello. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
