Tom Stoppard has died. He was an extraordinary playwright. When he was good, he was untouchable. I love that his last play, Leopoldstadt, may be his greatest play. There was no one like him and only fools tried to mimic his wit, his intelligence, his playfulness.

Saw a pearly queen doing her shopping in Waitrose.

Look at the sky!

I’ve got to go to the shops and I don’t like going to the shops or parking or anything about this.

I don’t like Theo and I don’t like Becky. #corrie

I’ve been to see Blue Moon and it was great. 🍿

Once again wondering about a Velvetiser that I neither need, nor have space for.

The worst packaging in the world is rice cake packaging, and that is a true fact.

I’m doing a thing / having a midlife crisis… wegottickets.com/event/683908/

I’m having a £4.50 cappuccino at the V&A. Robbing bastards.

I’ve come to see Kurt Cobain’s cardigan.

Home from parents’ evening. School trip tomorrow. Not my best planning.

Bayern Munich look like they’ve got Santa beards.

I wonder what the Waitrose little treats are.

I went to see American Psycho yesterday, and have just had the best night’s sleep in weeks. 💤

Greggs in Leicester Square has been swankified. You can clickify and collectify.

I’ve been to the Gilbert & George exhibition today.

56,000 at the football, so no pie for me.

I’m on my way to the Young Vic and last timeish I was there I stood next to Bunk off of The Wire at the bar. Hope he’s there tonight.

It’s good that Cadbury have added a Flake to their Heroes, but it’s madness that they’ve removed the Eclair, and not the stupid Crème Egg one.

Just been to have my crown fitted 👑 🦷 👑

On my way back from Manchester. 🚂

On my way to Manchester. No longer to see The Lovely Eggs, but instead to bring grapes to my friend and her brand new hip. 🥚

Got a great Too Good To Go bag from Greggs. 👍

I’m at the new Space Exhibit at the Science Museum. Much like the old space exhibit, but new #MERCH

Looking forward to Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, later.

I love the new Lemonheads album so much. 🍋 > 🪿 🪿

I’ve got four Corries to catch up on. 📺

Many thanks to Lily Allen for writing a catchy hate track called Madeline on her new album. Love and light.

I know we are all tired, but me especially.

Had a shocker on Wordle today.

Lucky enough to see Kathy Burke in conversation this evening. Brilliant. ♥️

Among everything else fascinating about the Louvre heist, it's delightful it took place at 9.30am. Most of us, if planning a massive jewel theft, would be setting an alarm for the middle of the night. The French remind us you can have a decent night's sleep and THEN do it.

Recently, I have seen The Smashing Machine and Dead of Winter and the fighting one wasn’t really up my street, but the Emma Thompson one was probably my favourite film so far this year ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ A surprise to everyone.

Queued for half an hour to see two costumes and a wand at the BFI today, but it was free and I like chatting anyway.

Loved the Wayne Thiebaud American Still Life exhibition this morning.

I assume I haven’t got Hayu. 📺

It is the weekend.

Well I am quite fancy.

I’m going to see that wrestling film later.

Kate Garraway cosplaying Supergran. #traitors

@samdeane.bsky.social I have a new thimbleful of Bader and I’m going to embrace it.

I’ve been bowling with my colleagues. I didn’t win.

Albert is trialling some new product.

Albert is trialling some new product.

I am at the football and it’s lovely and sunny. I’m waiting for the twenty second window where my hot chocolate is the right temperature.

I wonder when I’ll manage to stop listening to Geese, 🪿 🪿 🪿 the band I inventing liking.

"We should find who did this"

I’ve ordered Evan Dando’s Rumours of My Demise and I cannot wait.

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚 #amindofmyown
