The small luxury of a strong flat white.

Just found out that the Pope is in purgatory! Honestly thought he’d get a pass.

Alan: "Well if you must know, I've just been to see Dr Zhivago". Rigsby: "Oh. What did he say?". Rising Damp reruns have rendered my husband a guffawing mess. It's the little things these days innit.

If a roundly secular country like the UK is going this nuts for the Pope’s death, I’d hate to be living in an observant Catholic country. Why does the BBC think we want this level of coverage?

Oh no, The Today Programme is Doing Culture. (Turner’s anniversary)

Well, my lovely weekend has ended with being defrauded by Hong Kong gamers buying various local (to them) outlets. Luckily Barclays found these purchases suspicious 🤣 Sorted now, but annoying.

Right now me is DELIGHTED that last week me hoovered, mopped and changed my sheets, for just this moment. Bathroom is sparkling and I even wiped down my fridge. All I have to do is have a bath and make a G&T.

Absolutely torrid train journey. New St station is closed so two lots of passengers squeezed onto Moor St trains. People sitting in the aisle and the air temperature hotter than fire. And the bloody train manager droning on about valid tickets at every stop.

Just read two separate posts where the author has written ‘RIP Pope Francis, the first pope I have truly liked.’ And each time I can’t help thinking ‘Hoi, mate. Copernicus called, and it turns out the universe doesn’t revolve around you.’

Rude Health’s oat milk is total kack and any cafe using it in coffee hates people. Specifically me.

Didn’t realise the pope was quite that old.

Delighted to say weather has been far better than forecast.

I’m in Shropshire and we are having lamb kleftiko, lemon roast potatoes and a classic Greek salad. Followed by a v Frenchy chocolate mousse cake. 7 for lunch and the sun is hot in the sky. #happy

Celebrating an all timer

Have talked about neurodiversity, Paris v London, being single, book clubs, Phillip Pullman’s The Subtle Knife, Canine Niece’s latest haircut and posh crisps. Have drunk plenty of wine and now I’m tucked up in the world’s best spare bed.

I’m near Bicester and god but the countryside round here is dull.

I’ve packed ibuprofen instead of anti-histamines.
