Sending out seasonal greetings on this, the last Sunday before Christmas & the winter Solstice. Embrace the light and the lengthening days. Take comfort in the small miraculous things that come your way. Celebrate kindness, pay it the attention it deserves xxx

This book is truly fascinating - I’m not sure yet who is my favourite #saint and their method of martyrdom. From being griddled to death (St Lawrence) to a spear in the neck (St Agnes), there are some viciously creative deaths in here.

Loved the #LexiconofLove last night #ABC. I stupidly took just one photo of an empty stage! I apologise to my fellow concert goers for my singing and dancing.

I’ve had a twitching right eye for a month now. The lower lid. It’s driving me mad - feels like everyone can see it. Its deranged …. 😉. I realise that’s why someone winked at me last week, as he thought I was winking at him.
Any cures welcomed.

I stepped off the pavement on shitty corporate Bond Street W1 , and a lime biker was whizzing towards me. He put the brakes on, smiled and gave me a wink. A wink. Not been winked at for years. 😉

#FridayFail question for a friend: What’s worst - being told you’re being made redundant or being told you might be made redundant? I think my optimism about new starts upset her 😔
