Went out to a restaurant this evening and the name of the waitress was Shakira, and let me tell you, her chips did _not_ lie.
(I didn’t actually have the chips, I had new potatoes, but I didn’t want to let the truth get in the way of a “hilarious” joke.)

It would be nice if this made a difference, but as the sort of person who doesn’t take their backpack off as a matter of course clearly lacks any awareness of the space around them, they’re unlikely to even notice the notice, let alone pay attention to it.

The Roses are being absolutely destroyed out there. Really can’t see them pulling back from this, but hopefully they’ll at least be able to regain some pride and make the scoreline a bit more respectable in the second half. #SparChallenge #netball

I bought some Biscoff crème eggs because they were reduced, but swiftly discovered why they were reduced as they are absolutely rank. Do not make the same mistakes I have!

Good to see an NYT crossword clue that, along with their unshakeable Rita Ora obsession, is right in my wheelhouse.

I’ve just watched the new Naked Gun film and it’s genuinely very good! I have also had a couple of drinks so the two things might be related.

Not a strong first half for England, but it was a strong comeback. If they can keep that energy going for the next half then they stand a chance, but I fear they’ll lose momentum and South Africa are going to take the test before the first quarter is done. #SparChallenge #netball

Unlike Thursday, today I have managed to understand the 24 hour clock correctly and have tuned in in time to actually watch the England/South Africa netball test live. Big brain stuff from me! #netball

Pleased to see it’s been confirmed that Clueless is culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant. Not that there was ever any doubt, mind.
"Clueless" and "The Karate Kid" are among 25 films selected to join the National Film Registry this year.

In the space of five days I’m now going to be seeing Wet Leg with English Teacher supporting, My Chemical Romance, the Super Furry Animals with the Beta Band supporting, and Garbage. I genuinely don’t think I’m going to be able to cope with such a constant stream of amazingness

This morning I need to simultaneously try and get tickets for both Garbage and Saint Etienne for what will - likely - be their last ever gigs. I’m sure this is going to end well.

Well that was a night of sleep that basically didn’t happen. I look forward to spending today tired, grumpy and being irrationally irked by even the most minor of inconveniences.

Well, I am an absolute idiot and misread the 16:00 start time as 6PM and so have just tuned in to discover I’ve missed the entirety of the England vs South Africa netball match. Grr! I now hope it was a rubbish game and I didn’t miss out on anything exciting.

Sainsbury’s are attempting to get on the romantic baked goods train, but I’m not sure that telling the recipient that they’re directly comparable to a muffin is an ideal sentiment.
