By contrast her sister, Millie, only has one main nickname (Mill Mills) and, if she’s got the zoomies, Silly Billy Millie. So clearly some work to be done. May have to think outside the box here

This is Oreo, which we shorten to Ori, which became Ori Bori, then Ori Bori Boobins, and now, sometimes, just Boobins.

Looking through old photos, and I have remembered the existence of Pedro
A fairly wonky looking doll. It has one eye half-shut and looks ... frowny

Bought these magnets for the kids. Just needed to tell people really
Two fridge magnets. One is of a man (the amazing Jim Howick) with the words HI, I’M A SHOUTY MAN printed on the bottom. The other is a speech bubble. The text inside says ‘I’m seriously considering not coming to the next aftercution’

Son: MUM. You have GOT to come and look at this baby
A packet of nappies on a shelf. The packet is all crinkly so the baby looks very strange

I challenge you to use the bathroom under this level of scrutiny

There’s something about a shabby chair in the corner of a rammed secondhand bookshop

Cross your fingers, toes, etc for me
A screenshot of an email that says: 'Thank you for applying for tickets to Strictly Come Dancing - Christmas Special. Please see below for a summary of your ticket application.' At the bottom it says 'Please note this email contains details of your application only. It does not guarantee you will receive tickets'

I only ever pass on important cultural information to my American friends @tiersinrain.com
A discord message (from me) which says ‘For context Daniel, this is the former Economic Secretary to the Treasury of the United Kingdom, Ed Balls, doing an enthusiastic dance to Gangnam Style on Strictly’

A collection of magazine holders? Or file holders? Box files? Something from Ikea anyway. They’re white and have what look like smiling faces on them

Anyway. Saw Lapsley last night at Rough Trade in Bristol. Was incredible. (Didn't take photos of the actual thing because I could barely see anything)

Our couple selfies continue to be outstanding
A redheaded woman smiles at the camera in a dimly-lit room. Next to her, a man holding a drink has a blurry blob for a face. This is because of the phone, not the man himself

Writing about the Séance of Blake Manor today, and I actually can't wait to share my thoughts with you
A screenshot from the game The Seance of Blake Manor. It shows two men looking at each other suspiciously in a series of three frames. Underneath, text reads 'The porter shall meet us there'.
