My son’s friend made me a card when he found out I was pregnant and honestly I couldn’t be more chuffed - more cards should feature a pit of doom.

I met up with a friend at the weekend and it came up in conversation that a few years ago our mutual friend from school (who also happens to be my boyfriend in my dreams at night) got in touch. He is happily married with a kid - so in my dream last night I met his wife and child at an exhibition.

I’m assuming that, of the people who make it to the castle in Scotland, only some will return, in some kind of crossover show with #TheTraitors #TheArchers

Big thanks to the news on BBC Radio 2 for spoiling the outcome of The Traitors for me.

Having your ex psych up your child with fireworks on bonfire night and then deliver them back to you so you can wind them down for bed seems like a bad deal to me. #TheArchers

The dull dreams continue #LastNightIDreamt that I was helping in a waiting area at some kind of University-based airport. I stored my own luggage and walked about with a hi-vis vest and reset tv monitors that were not working etc. I realised I couldn’t find my bag, and started hunting for it.

#LastNightIDreamt that my parents organised a party for me - lovely meal in a restaurant, invited JK Rowling (bits awks), arranged a slightly terrifying helicopter ride, bought me a new phone and had Lauren Laverne there to D.J. Good effort.

My child has been invited to an aerial gymnastics party and is very excited to have a go on the ‘aerial raccoon’. An excellent #eggcorn for aerial cocoon.

#LastNightIDreamt a dull dream that I was being driven perilously on a country road by my dad when we spotted a barn converted into a pub. We popped in and it was more of an artisan coffee shop, my dad ordered and sat down and I realised he hadn’t ordered for me so I asked for an iced coffee.

Highs and lows of parenting in a day:
High: child quietly states while planting bulbs in the garden ‘ this is fun! Especially because I get to do it with my mummy’
Low: mopping the bathroom floor and cleaning the bath (!) after a child’s wee wee malfunction 😬

Felt like sharing one of my favourite postcrossing cards (Xmas 2016). I wonder what Danny is up to these days?

I’ve recently been adding lime to my tonic water and am now wondering if a lot of what I’ve always loved about tequila is actually just lime… nah, surely not.

Today’s screening of the 2016 jungle book has reminded me that it’s ’Man’s Red Flower’ and not ‘Man’s Red Flour’, which I assumed throughout my childhood, human that I am.

I use old sampler books to inspire my fairly haphazard cross stitch cards. This one by Jo Verso from 1989 shows a family sampler with a range of hobbies and interests, including what looks like a cigarette and a cigar.

Turns out that baking a cake and six cupcakes and stuff party bags with sweets is a sure fire way to fall off the healthy eating wagon, and even when the party is a distant memory you’re left craving haribo and cake with thick butter icing.

I was thinking earlier about how I used to go out of my way to make things extra challenging at school and uni - I did a detailed project on Horse & Hound in media studies, purely because I loved the film Notting Hill. To their credit they sent me a stack of magazines for free.

I bought a weekend paper because I’d quite like to stare at my phone less in front of my son. It’s not wont me over yet. I’m surprised to find that it contains the tv listings for 8 channels, with a double spread for each day.

When your friend ‘saves’ her Red Devil apples for you and a select group of friends and they are delish but you do wonder if you will survive the night.
