What’s everyone having for dinner? I’m v delighted to say I don’t know as I’m GOING OUT, OUT. Prob pizza or Japanese.

A barman just asked me how my day was going and I had no answer.

Friday the 13th. Once again a great day to go see what that noise in the basement is. Have that care free sex. Assume the person in the mask is a friend messing around. Hell it’s only twenty years tonight since the strange murders it’d be fun to check out the abandoned house. You’re only young once.

Words to gladden my heart on the radio "we removed the conifers and planted deciduous trees instead". I bloody hate conifer plantations.

Gutted about Liza Tarbuck not doing her Sat eve show anymore. It’s a cliché, but she’s irreplaceable. The care she took over her eclectic playlist... I’ll miss having music from The Ink Spots, Marvin Gaye and Talking Heads all in one show. Plus, she was bloody funny.

took duck livers out of the freezer this morning for a quick dinner tonight. Home only to find its beef shin. FML.

It’s only today I’ve heard that the new Ayatollah didn’t only lose his dad, but his mother, wife and “numerous other relatives”. This guy is going to be found dead or in a bunker, can’t see him negotiating.

G’wan Sam. Justice for Elisabeth!

What’s everyone having for dinner? I’m suddenly incredibly tired so it’s cheese on toast and a pile of stem broccoli, heavy on the garlic and lemon zest. No booze but I DO have a sour cherry magnum for pudding. Frabjus day!!

“Yeah, Sylvia—my set too. … And in the middle of Laverne and Shirley.”

Listening to Inside Health about vaccine hesitancy, using Hackney as an example. Only 58% of 5yr olds there are fully vaccinated. The reasons why are complicated but also fundamentally foolish and misinformed. If you fancy feeling exasperated & despairing, here you go: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Stepped out of the shower, suddenly starving. But zero kitchen mojo.

“Wait a minute! Isn’t anyone here a real sheep?”

I had no idea the Jackson Sisters version was a cover!

My annoyance at Liza Tarbuck still being on holiday is tempered by the face that Shaun Keaveny has played this absolute banger. open.spotify.com/track/7cnurY...

What’s everyone having for dinner? I’m having the mixed bean chilli I rejected on Friday. Adding a bit of pork mince because it’s knocking about. Extra green pepper for fibre And stem broccoli on the side. Quick shallot pickle. No avocado as it’s gone off 😖 But I have wine! Pink Lady apple.

Not to sound glib but have we considred the possibility that Sir Tony Blair is a messy bitch who lives for drama

I think about this a lot

I need to do some boring shopping. Whyyyyy tho.

On International Women's Day let's remember the women of Barcelona 1936 who began an incipient sexual revolution against reaction but also against the attitudes of own male comrades who for all their utopian rhetoric were often as sexist as ever when home as is often the case around the world.

They should choose Netanyahu

I think I want to be Susie.

Renoir. Turner. All Pre-Raphaelites. Dickens (except in BBC adaptations). RENOIR (deserves listing twice). Hardy (god I hate him). Kill Bill. Ballet and all staged dance. David Mamet. In fact nearly all American theatre that isn’t a musical. Classical music played on a period instruments.

So, me and @curlywurlyfi.bsky.social eemt to see the Euan Uglow exhibition at Milton Keynes Gallery today. Fi’s a big fan and it’s a pretty large display, v strong on his nudes. So if you like him, def go.

You know how when you see someone off the telly the cliché is that they always seem smaller IRL? Well an exception to that is Jeremy Bowen, who is tall and positively hunky. Very powerful physical presence

Oh no. Orla Guerin is back on the airwaves.

And to their knees.

I had an extra soapy shower using exfoliating gloves. I washed my hair. I have clean sheets. So obviously this means an early night for a bad lady.

What’s everyone having for dinner? I was going to make a mixed bean chilli and have with cavolo Nero and sourdough toast for crunch. But is this really what I want? The alternative is a fish finger sandwich, but I don’t have the right bread. It’s not easy being me.

I despise flashbacks in fiction.

The worst thing about working from home is the working.

Weirdly, I need lunch recs for Milton Keynes. Anyone been there? it’s my first time and I’m weirdly excited to see it.

I know it’s classist, European snobbery to laugh but there is someone in Trump’s cabinet called Markwayne. And it’s just too Dukes of Hazzard isn’t it?

What’s everyone having for dinner? I’m cooking the other half of the Aldi steak, serving it pink, sliced and juicy over spaghetti in tomato sauce. Side of stem broccoli. No booze. Big sigh.

My first ladybird of the season! 🐞

What's everyone having for dinner? (I've been nudged by @caromthomas.bsky.social 😆) I'm having half a thick Aldi ribeye with chips and garlicky rainbow chard. Annoyed I didn't buy the mushrooms I picked up now. Bit of M&S dark milk chocolate. Finishing last night's pineapple. No booze. SADNESS.

I want to make a formal complaint about this five minute wait for a London bus.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

My pineapple was delicious but I do wish I had chocolate.

I’m bigging myself up, but this was delicious. I should use pork mince more often.

What’s everyone having for dinner? I’m having a spicy pork mince stir fry with cabbage and lots of ginger. Served over white rice. Might have a glass of wine. Fresh pineapple for afters.

"Elite human capital"

Is Netanyahu on Mounjaro?

In grave need of cake. And possibly a v fancy tea.

New & nice in Puerto Vallarta.

But wait…there are more al fresca spaces, out early before the day begins

I went to a comedy night for the first time in about 20 years (The Bill Murray in Islington) and I really enjoyed it despite half the acts being really not v hilaire. The compere - Amy Annette - and James Acaster were top notch tho. A+ will go again.

Friends live 100yards from Arsenal stadium so we spent the afternoon listening to them beat Chelsea.
