Officially, I became a British citizen when I swore the oath. But on a separate level, I became a British citizen today when I found a FOX in my bloody HOUSE.

Pet grief is awful. I’m not making a novel observation here, but man. I want my cat back.

Running on very little sleep today, I signed off an email “all beast.”

I can’t emphasise enough what a blockheaded and ignorant position this is.

When the rail replacement coach is the superior part of your train journey, you know you’re on Chiltern Rail.

Yesterday I saw a production of Titus Andronicus that was so bloody that the first 2 rows of the theatre were supplied with splash tarps. This is really what I’m looking for in my theatre experience, I have to say.

Italy was robbed. The results are highly…questionable. Good for Austria, though!

Currently conducting an experiment in how little I can sleep and how many hours I can remain surgically glued to my desk chair. Watch this space for exciting updates.

Right. Italy to win Eurovision. Called it. Done.

Did any who voted Labour think that this was what they were signing on for? Because this is…pretty bad.

I was walking up Clapham High Street today and some lady blasted me with her can of deodorant that she was just…applying while chatting to someone over a plate of brunch.

Not sure what it says about my mental state that this latest Last of Us episode has me homesick for Seattle.

If I am ever in a position to make a large grant to an organisation, I am going to give Fitzcarraldo Editions enough money to print these books at a legible font size.

[Exeunt Citizens.]

The Papal conclave is expected to start between the 6th and 12th of May. Eurovision is between the 13th and 17th of May. Social media is about to get very confusing.

Not too impressed with the UK Supreme Court today. Trans sisters, this stinks and I’m sorry.

We see you. We stand with you.

The thing about getting up at 5:30 on days I commute is that it makes getting up at 6:45 on days I don’t commute feel unbelievably luxurious.

Watched the first episode of Black Mirror. While I was reliving medical trauma, husband wondered: does the future really involve this much welding?

Vast sin-concealing chaos

I cannot emphasise enough what a bad, no good, awful idea it is to cut FDA jobs.

This week, my British passport arrived. And with that, we close a door on a decade of visas, biometrics, eye-watering fees, applications, exams, and innumerable photos taken at Snappy Snaps. Immigration: complete.

It was revealed to me today that my new workplace has a 90s playlist. I felt my bones crumble to the finest of dust as I reviewed data to the strains of Teenage Dirtbag.

Corrupt, corrupt

I think, if I were the Labour Party, I would consider…taxing the richest people in our society.

This is certainly a lot to take in (to be clear, it’s not the abolition of the health service. But it is a very big deal). www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

So Labour had all these many years to come up with a few ideas, and what they’ve got is…cutting PIP?

Spotted in Gunnersbury Park—any ideas what this is? Has a gorgeous smell reminiscent of honeysuckle.

Reminding myself that my new passport photo is about function and not aesthetics, but WOW is it bad.

I would like to suggest to Starmer that he not mess this up.
