Chaos on the Leeds to London trains this afternoon because someone's been hit on the line outside Doncaster. Grateful for the impromptu First Class upgrade I bought this morning as I can get a seat but even in 1st there's people standing in a vestibule on this East Midlands train at Sheffield.

Gonna be a bit vulnerable on main. If you or anyone you know is going to see Rosalía at the O2 Arena on Tuesday, hit me up. It's going to be my first time at the O2 and I get a bit of anxiety in arenas after being at the Manchester arena attack and I'm going by myself. 💙

James just asked me - George Fouracres or Paddy Young?

That British pork sketch had me in pieces. Fouracres absolutely losing it made it a million times more funny. #SNLUK

My hometown of Southport catching strays tonight #SNLUK

Aimee Lou Wood referencing and doing the Kim Cattrall scatting video had me screaming at the TV #SNLUK

On a whim/because James briefly suggested it one time during a conversation on holiday, I shaved down my facial hair shorter and left my moustache longer. I think I like it? 🥸

Waiting for my bus home in the sunshine whilst Into You by Ariana Grande plays in my headphones and I feel like I could run through a brick wall

The forecast dramatically improved for today compared to what it looked like a week ago when we were packing - but I managed to fit in a cheeky little swim at Playa de la Concha in San Sebastián this afternoon! 🏊‍♂️💙

Sábado en San Sebastián

Pisco Sours, pintxos and basque cheesecake by the sea. 💙

Final stop on our Spanish adventure - San Sebastian! My job is beach.

Ciudad numero dos - ¡Bilbao!

We went to a Georgian restaurant in Madrid because why the fuck not, right? It was some of the best food I've ever had. Cheese bread, dumplings, duck meatballs, poussin in garlic sauce.

Starting day 2 of the holiday off with some healthy choices for breakfast #cleaneating x

Madrid! ☀️

Tomorrow we're off on our holiday to Madrid, Bilbao and San Sebastian. My AS Level Spanish has ebbed away a bit but I've been listening to a lot of Rosalía. Basically I'd now struggle to ask for directions but could tell you to "sprinkle brown sugar on my coffin" perfectly.

Watching the DadSwap sketch next to my actual dad was an experience #snlUK

Not Catholic. Not even raised Catholic. Nan was brought up Catholic, and despite her passing away about 16 years ago I still choose to not do any meat on Good Friday. I think I just enjoy a cheeky little food ritual every now and again.

I'm at a Starbucks to do some writing and their music is bad and loud so I'm rocking the Loop earplugs AND white noise playing out of noise cancelling headphones over the top combo. It's lovely.

I absolutely adored Project Hail Mary when I read it last year. I am in the cinema, sat and ready. I have high hopes!

When we were in Edinburgh I very tragically tripped and fell into the taproom/bottle shop of my favourite brewery, Vault City, who make incredible sours. Here are the girls.

Cheeky little homemade pizza because it's Friday

This is still free to watch for the next couple of days and I can't recommend it enough. Absolutely loved it.

Had a genuinely lovely day yesterday in Manchester with friends, capped off by seeing Kesha absolutely blow the roof off Aviva Studios. And no hangover today!! 🎉

We have written to Wes Streeting over the fact that his decision to pause the trial seems to have been based entirely on a letter whose author has now been recused due to bias.

Had a lovely day supporting at an event put on by a colleague and being shoved onto the stage multiple times to be a professional rent-a-gob

She's been out for drinks on a school night, in London. X

I just saw my dog's boyfriend, a yellow labrador called Gary. Gary is so pure and excited about any and all attention that he tolerates Bailey trying to dry hump him everytime they see each other.

You, in another decade

Yes I've got an audiobook and a non-fiction read on the go but I still haven't picked a new fiction book to start. The indecision of being a mood reader who doesn't always know what he's in the mood for is so annoying istg

I’m excited too!

Disproportionately excited to be making @nigella.bsky.social's Fish Finger Bhorta for the first time. I've used red onions rather than her stipulated "regular onions" (which I guess means white ones?) and I'm using this green chilli sauce in lieu of fresh red chillis.

Had the day off work today and spent the morning at a coffee shop plotting an outline for a novel I've had percolating around my brain for a year or so. If nothing else, it felt nice to flex some creative muscles I haven't used for a little while.

Other half just sent me a mortified voice note - he was a queue in the Post Office his Apple Watch decided to start playing music out loud and just blasted out "IT'S BRITNEY, BITCH" while he was surrounded by people

Right but everyone knows Tame Impala is one bloke so can they be an international group?? #brits

I'm seeing Rosalía at the O2 in May and now I'm even more hyped. #brits

ROSALÍA. Singing operatic German. In Manchester. On ITV. Werk.

Finally caught the final episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and what an utter fucking delight this show has been. I loved the Dunk and Egg novellas but this elevated the source material in a way that screen adaptations rarely do. Masterful.

being at the age where everyone you know is having children

Bailey and I are having a wild Saturday night

My niece turned 6 today and they've gone to Legoland. The chips at Legoland ARE SHAPED LIKE LEGO BRICKS.

Got a craving for Australian stuff so ordered some Passiona, a bottle of lemon lime and bitters cordial and a bar of probably the greatest chocolate I've ever had which tastes like Guylian seashells. Sugar coma incoming.

Possibly related to my last two posts, I got up off the sofa where I've been cuddling the dog after drinking two cocktails featuring "Roy measures" and I'm wrecked, guys

Happy Valentines Day, y'all
