Sitting in the sun, writing poetry, despairing.

Well. Does anyone remember if was actually Labour who won the election? Jeremy Hunt seems extremely pleased with Starmer and Streeting and that cannot be a good thing.

OMG! Nicola Walker was the singer in the frightful folk duo in the first FWAAF wedding. Only just noticed this.

Both of my babies are poorly! One is post op and the other has flu. Send ... Ribena.

It's the anniversary of Thomas Becket's assassination. So here's a bit of eel history to go with your Becket! After his death, the church at Wymondham Abbey was rededicated to include Becket's name. And it was sustained by an annual rent of 2,000 eels from the village of Hilgay. 🗃️🧪

It's once again time for my annual Christmas tradition of sharing this, the worst short story ever written. It is DREADFUL. I love it so much! Happy Christmas everybody! www.stylist.co.uk/books/christ...

It has been quite the year, so as a distraction from all that here are my WTF TV news moments from 2024 ✨

NEW RECORD: 2024 is the first year in history when wind, solar and hydropower generated more electricity than fossil fuels in the UK.

Today I am both leaving the house *and* have put some makeup on. Today is a good day.

I first test-rode the Bo more than a year ago, and then twice again in the last month. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the e-scooter of the future.

It would be great if absolutely everybody can help this story go viral, and get higher-level media attention, to contribute to the social and legal utter annihilation of every cop, judge, and politician involved.
