I don’t do drama or tea and I don’t like cats - no, not even yours. I like France, colour, sun, podcasts, language, wit, cities, NYT games, #TheArchers, walking, baking, knitting, dogs, general snark. If I want your advice I’ll ask for it.

I really feel like I've properly broken up for Christmas, which is somewhat unfortunate given that I still have 3 days of work to go

So now we've done Jake Paul and Andrew Tate, can we move on to the fights between similar alphas and the gorillas/black bears they're sure they could defeat?

Amber is obviously brilliant and certainly doesn't deserve the hate she's apparently been getting, but I can't warm to her if I'm honest #strictly

The news is nothing but entitled white men abusing their privilege. I would say wake me up when it changes but I probably won't live that long

Listening to a PG Wodehouse audiobook and it's like your first glass of champagne after a long spell of fizzy water

I lasted approx 30 minutes on Threads when it first came out but it seems to me it's the worst of Twitter AND Instagram combined, ie a portal to hell

Why do I still have copies of pay slips from 14 years ago? This does not seem to be a sensible use of digital resources

Welcome to my parents’ house. USE A DAMN COASTER
Welcome to my parents’ house. Just put a jumper on
Welcome to my parents' houses. At my dad's there's a cupboard full of disposable BBQs, and many VHS tapes in cases which look like leather-bound books. At my mum's house every flat surface has a candle on it and there's between 5 and 8 of everything in the fridge. The heating is on. Always. x
