The Bum

Just finished watching Bridget Jones’s Diary (again). On comparing the screen kiss techniques of both Darcy and Clever, I think Clever nudges it.

It would appear, yet again, that I did not win the Bath Omaze House.

Dawn has left the building, leaving behind her a trail of cake crumbs, tea bags and two Sunday Times bestsellers…

I’m a Bluebird! And I can’t wait to join them.

Where is my mystery uncle and my flat in Kings Cross?!

I do love this view.

I’m still so sad about this. For me The Vivienne was up there with Lily Savage and Dame Edna. I hope they have a welcomed her to the heavens with arms and legs wide open.

Every year I think “Yeah, I’d LOVE to go on #TheTraitors”. And then they run up a hill or row across a loch and realise that actually I’d be better off on Tipping Point.

Prepping Christmas dinner in my small, poorly designed kitchen and reminding myself to enjoy this moment because next year I’ll be doing it in the Omaze Bath house… #manifesting

In the 80s, when I wasn’t desperate to be Madonna, I wanted to be Annie Lennox.

Something for the festive holidays… #booksky 📚

It’s been 40 years since I fell in love for the first time… #LastChristmasAt40

Vito bursting out of his trousers because he’s dancing with a fifty year old is the hope I need right now. #Strictly

Something (coming soon) for the weekend!

Something for the weekend. Booksky 📚

Current view.

Surprise Black Friday delivery.

I think it’s important to recognise that ‘working-class women of a certain age’ also think Gregg Wallace is a tool too.

Spending all my Dignitas savings on Black Friday deals.

Finally, I can start watching Masterchef.

My own personal weather girl. #catsofbluesky

I am so proud of my beautiful, talented and award-winning friend @samarthemjap.bsky.social #futurebook @thebookseller.bsky.social

Somebody smelt the roast chicken. #catsofbluesky

Something for the weekend. #booksky 📚💙

He would have beaten Jake Paul :(

I’m sorry but 15% is not a Black Friday Deal.

Just recorded a special interview with the phenomenal Nicolette McKenzie to go at the end of the audiobook of ‘Murder on the Marlow Belle’. It was such a thrill for me to put a face to the voice after all these years.

New hero just dropped

Tears for Sarah while watching Girls Aloud, thinking of my best friend Julie and cursing the breast cancer that took them both. Check your boobs tonight ladies. 🎀

I bloody love The Pet Shop Boys #Strictly

Over 60? Writer? This is for you

My feed is full of cats, books and no Betfred ads!

Something for the weekend! #booksky 💙📚

It’s officially blanket season.

I guess I’ll just start as I mean to go on. #catsofbluesky
