A new poem. Who will be the first to tell me that I've spelled awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom wrong? Should it be hyphenated??

We watched Maestro. How very sweet to see Lenny in action again. And if the wardrobe people don't win multiple awards, then something is very wrong. Every Lenny look is entirely perfect.

Roseanne was trending yesterday and I hoped it was this Rosanne, on account of that performance of hers with Kristoffersson. Sadly, it was the other Roseanne. What a mighty song this is. What a doll Rosanne Cash is.

We watched The Witches of Eastwick last night. Can't believe I haven't read the 📖. Updike is my main squeeze. Apparently, the director called Cher after her audition to say that, at 40yrs, she was too old & not sexy enough for the role. Good lord, she even looked🔥🔥in those greige pants.

We're having one of our regular Diana Dors things. We watched that great Arena documentary about Dors yesterday. It's on Youtube. PJ Proby & Billie Davis appear. What a weird & racy time in British society that was, when cads had names like Dandy Kim.

Tommy Steele's birthday today.
What a trouper. I only just read the tale Bill Kenwright told about Elvis meeting Tommy in London before heading to Germany. Could it be true??

We just watched Cabaret.
Liza out-Garlanded Garland, didn't she? On 🔥 in every single scene.
Also, I think she was bra-less for the whole movie. There's something to be admired in that.
Also, do you reckon she owns this dress? And do you think she would lend it to me? 💜

Who started the trend for the Rock Star Skinny Scarf?
Was it Ronnie Lane, David Essex, Keith Richards? It has become such sartorial shorthand.

I should know by now not to trust Mary Berry. I just made her self-saucing lemon pudding and it emerged from the oven as some sort of very sloppy citrus soufflé*
I'm sticking with Nigel from now on.

I cooked fried avocado (shallow fried in breadcrumbs) for dinner this week, with cornbread & black beans. Ronny said:" This is the best meal I've ever had. It's like something you'd get at the fair". 😅🤭😍

The Ed marches out as I put the phone down.
"Personal calls are forbidden. Who was that?" 😡
Me:"Bill Bailey"

While working my first 🗞 job the editor took a shine to me and he got freaky/obsessive. He would get the News Ed to listen in on my conversations & report back to him with any salient details - in particular, was I dating someone? One day I was doing a ☎️ interview and I was laughing a lot. 1/1
