There are few things better than reading a book from decades or centuries ago and recognising you have something in common with someone from the far past.

Does the Netflix algorithm know something about the Beckhams the rest of us don't?

A year ago!

Miriam Margolyes is just a warrior woman. That's the post. She said it all.

I've been baking like mad lately and that means I have treats for everyone.

This morning, Rowan looked at a photo of RFK Jr and said, with full confidence, "dada!"

Okay I'm sorry I'm not a fan of this song BUT I am a fan of the Tony and Christopher fancams people are making with it.

They cancelled the train this morning so my lovely quiet morning bus was overtaken by train people.

"No, we're done playing with that now, aren't we?" Rowan:

I've seen at least two people that I know *for a fact* have not read Hamlet saying "I bet Taylor Swift hasn't even read Hamlet". STOLEN VALOUR.

luke skywalker - - farmer - lives on a windswept island in the atlantic - emotionally damaged by religion - starts fights in pubs, big head on him - irish.

When I read stories like this I wish I could reach across space and time to hug that poor little boy.

The fire is lit for the first time since March.

After one listen: it falls off a cliff for me after track 4. But it might be a grower!

Remembered this and it's set me off.

I'm listening to this podcast about a 2014 reality show where a bunch of American women were duped into competing to date 'Prince Harry' (actually a lookalike).

I am very tickled by the fact that Rowan's toy washing powder has instructions on the box. Who's that for? He can't read!

😭😭

I love that of all the big cats, tigers got the most orange cat. Just enormous dummies. They're perfect.

"It's very important to stop and smell the flowers before you destroy everything"

Tuesday is the 10 year anniversary of the day me and Darragh first met. We're both taking the day off work and going to the coffee shop where we met for lunch. 🥹

Me, hammered, in the back of a taxi at 3am even though I said I'd get the last bus home.

This poor baby was failed by so many people.

When you find out your ex from 10 years ago still has your nicest hoodie.

Lolol I'll contribute to a minute of sad trombone noises.

Somebody come to my house and explain to my husband that washing a spider down the drain doesn't count as "getting rid" of it. There is a WHOLE SONG designed to warn us about this.

A tribute to my little Katya. 🐈‍⬛😻

I got a 12 minute accidental voice note from my mother that's just her going about her business.

In the past 5 years, there has been a 500% uptick in crime novels with titles like "The Serial Killer's Cookbook for Wives" and I don't have time to investigate why but maybe you do.

Hateful loser.

I have no time at all for the royals but I don't like when people are mean about Kate Middleton.

Me on the 4th of September.

I'm not going to say it looks good but I am going to say it looks worth the price of admission.

You’d miss when he might have been dead all the same

My sister has been in Indonesia for 2 weeks and she's getting back this weekend and I think I've done a good job of not letting her know how much my OCD brain worried about her being so far away.

It's on repeat from now until December... 🧣🍂🥰

I took the morning off work for an appointment and they forgot me and left me waiting for ✨an hour✨ and then eventually did the appointment which took 5 minutes and now I'm heading to work late and crying rage tears because my first response to being furious is to cry. 🥰

I'm teaching Rowan to put rubbish in the bin. He put a chocolate wrapper in for me this evening and got a round of applause. You could see his little brain putting things together and then he ran and got The Gruffalo and threw that in the bin along with his shoes 😂

You couldn't make Trigger Happy TV today. Not because of woke. It's simply that most of the audience wouldn't understand that the loud guy with the big phone was doing something bad.

I am SPEECHLESS.

Look: I know it wasn't today and we're all disappointed, but it will happen.

My baby is really not a baby anymore.

The only non-Michael D president I'll accept is Bosco.

If I had a time machine I would go back to 2010 and tell past me "they make a big budget TV adaptation of Harry Potter with a phenomenal cast but by the time it happens you'll hate JK Rowling too much to even think about it" and then watch past me implode.

What is everyone reading? Give me some recommendations.
