ET TU, PADDINGTON?

I've got a horrible dry throat that could be the start of something or could be a nothing, and I hate that I don't know which way it'll go

You know, he's a little aggy, but he's my best boy

It's such a horribly nice day and I wasn't prepared for it

I have zero desire to go to Mount Everest ever in my life, but this is potentially really cool edition.cnn.com/2025/04/20/t...

The videos I've seen from the US of ICE kidnapping and arresting random people are so horribly distressing. I genuinely think proposing to copy that model, *while it is happening very publicly* should automatically disqualify you from any sort of career where you make decisions affecting the public.

I'm in an Organising Mood which means I make plans, book and pay for them, set up calendar invites and get excited about the fun that we'll have in the future So far: - sauna (again) - ghost hunt - Wake the Tiger - some Christmas thing - board games

I wrote about PTSD, anxiety, depression - and how I sought help from a drug with a bad reputation edition.cnn.com/2025/09/28/h...

Would I be bonkers if I decided to go to Finland during winter, as a person who has SAD and hates winter I'm just thinking - I am getting into the sauna life and so maybe it would be bearable with saunas? Otherwise open to reasonable winter destinations

I've reached an age where, whenever I see teenagers, I either feel sympathy (it's a difficult time of life, and no one prepares or helps you, and some of us barely survived it) or eyes-rolling annoyance (no one cares about your utterly tedious conversation)

Passing through Spitalfields market which I never do so I thought ooh I'll get food Got overwhelmed by crowds and too much choice Decided to go to Gail's 😬

I really hate WhatsApp trying to make me use stickers. Seemingly it starts prompting you when you write a longer message. Someone has died, I was sending a note of condolence, and WhatsApp decided that what was needed to elevate the message was a sloth sticker. Thanks. Wtf.

I have an excellent new format for naming things

Forgot buses go both ways so enthusiastically jumped on the correct bus - going the wrong way.

CNN has had a few projects nominated for the Lovie Awards, which is really great! Our conclave explainer, from earlier in the year, was excellent IMO - vote for it here vote.lovieawards.com/PublicVoting...

Enjoyed this and might get the book tbh www.ft.com/content/a428...

Really fascinating look at redesigning everyday things for women, from guitars to crash dummies. And my favourite line from the piece: "Women are not just smaller versions of men." edition.cnn.com/interactive/...

I almost moved to Dubai in 2011, forever grateful that I did not because it seems to have been a happy accident that I didn't. (I went back a few years later and absolutely hated it and continue to hate it)

I keep getting adverts for The Horne Section's tour and it's freaking me out seeing Alex sing. Alex doesn't sing!

I do sometimes wonder if I should have considered the drawn out mental anguish and general annoyance that leaving my stuff in storage would have caused me. Oh well, I guess!

Oscar on set

“It was heartbreaking to watch,” said Watson. “Even if you’re not a mother, seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.”… “Stuff was everywhere…people’s birth certificates, and papers thrown all over. Water was leaking into the hallway. It was wicked crazy.”

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

"Israel is using food and aid as a weapon to humiliate, weaken, displace and kill Palestinians in Gaza" edition.cnn.com/2025/10/02/m...

The more I look at this the better it gets... Seriously though do people not check the artwork before they get it tattooed?

Just had a very spirited game of peekaboo with the cat during which I got increasingly more animated while he just stared at me

Wonderful photo of a true legend

Earlier I found myself idly wishing that Cardiff had carpool lanes 95% of the journeys I make are with just me in the car 🤨

I would be happier about going into the office if there was a sauna tbh www.ft.com/content/2183...

Started watching Wayward because I like Mae Martin. Feels like that was an assumption and a half.

This is (not my) cat, pawing me for attention

Just spent an hour in a sauna/hot tub/cold plunge in a forest. Recommend! Definitely not something you can do in London eh?

Posting this again in case you missed it - multiple people have got in touch and told me it's well-written and interesting, and maybe you'll like it too? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/h...

I was fully expecting some hate emails so this is nice to wake up to

Just finished Midnight Mass for the second time. Cried so much at the end, again. The one thing I would change is there are too many unnecessary monologues, or monologues that could have been one minute rather than ten. Otherwise, perfect, 10/10

I mention my dad in this, and I was really worried about him reading it, but he just said it was wonderful and he's proud of me so I think I am just gonna go and cry for a bit 🥹🥹

I am pro building housing so I should feel good about this but as someone who unfortunately spends a lot of time in Enfield, I don't think the infrastructure is there and I have this feeling that they'll cock it up in ways that I couldn't even begin to guess

I don't know exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm not finding it today

My personal essay is out! Extremely grateful to my editors on this piece, they were incredibly understanding and supportive and I couldn't have asked for better. I hope it helps people even if it only makes them feel less alone ❤️ www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/h...

I've had my stuff in storage for less than a year in Queens and they've raised prices twice now, which feels a bit like they just want the unit back. Unfortunately for me, international shipping is insanely expensive 😐

Me: ooh it's the weekend! I don't have any alarms! I can lie in and catch up on missed sleep! My brain: 7am it is

A new CNN poll has identified five distinct types of independents, with big implications for American politics... edition.cnn.com/interactive/...

Just heard the kpop demon hunters song in Greggs, so I guess it has cut through. The only reason I know it is 5yo alternates between dancing and singing along to that with You Give Love A Bad Name (the latter being my fault)

Buying an American sofa remains one of the worst experiences of my life and the thing I most regret So good luck with this, friends

I am doing some important research

A couple of weeks ago, our reporter Ivana got in touch with an idea about visualising the timing of air raid sirens in Kyiv, and how Russian tactics have seemingly changed... I went through a couple of other ideas before settling on visualising the whole year so far in this way.
