Aww, thank you. You may enjoy this throwback, then.

Otherwise, it's an interesting mix as usual, because I share an account with my husband. Less ragtime than usual because he's been on a Tim Minchin kick, as you can see. Hadestown and Wise Guys are me, though.

I feel like it's probably quite an achievement to be in the tip 0.08% of listeners for a band as big as the Beatles but that's what happens when you have a kid with a special interest. Bearing in mind, this doesn't include the time she spent listening to them on her Yoto.

I am both embarrassed at how much I wang on about my kids (but they are excellent humans and I'm proud of them!) and pleased at how many positive adjectives I use. Feels like a good sign.

I'm having a bit of a difficult time at the moment but while Mr Zoe put the kids to bed, I had a peaceful browse of the supermarket to get Nikolaus treats, and also picked up this for myself. Things feel a tiny bit better now.

I've always said I don't want to do anything with standup beyond a hobby. But then you go see a gig and, like the witches in Macbeth, a voice in your head goes, "Yeah but what if you got to come out on stage through a giant inflatable funfair with demonic effigies of your face on it?"

On the other hand, these lyrics can absolutely fuck off. If you and your kin aren't involved, I don't want to know.

New doormat, who dis?
Incidentally, when we moved in, I had to throw out the one that was here because it had the word WELCOME on it. Cos while I am an atheist who doesn't believe in supernatural spirits of any kind, I'm also not stupid enough to issue an automatic invitation to vampires and fae.
