Well, this evening it was finally cold enough for me to fire up the central heating for the first time since the spring. Only for 45mins mind you as I just needed the chill taken off. I'm perfectly warm now at 15.5°C in the house!

Sunday is baking day and as I've been craving pineapple upside down cake for a week, that is what I've made. 😋

I'm at Gatwick about to get on my first flight since 2017! In fact, I haven't been out of the country since 2012 and neither of the two trips that year were by air. 🫣

OMG! My stupid cat just jumped from the arm of the sofa to the footstool and missed! Funniest thing I've seen in days. She's lucky she makes up in beauty what she lacks in grace and elegance.

People in one of the houses that back on to mine are having a loud singalong in their garden. Someone is playing guitar; some of them are trying for harmonies; it's incredibly annoying.

Dear. God. They are now singing Any Dream Will Do. 😬

My family group chat is a long line of messages that say 'COYS'. 😂

I am sitting with next door's kids - age 6 and 4 - while their dad takes one of their cats to the vet and let me tell you, modern kids TV is something else.

Can someone explain to me why I thought it was such a great idea to take my dentist up on his 'how about 8:30am on Sunday?' appointment the day the clocks have gone forward? Mind you, I did laugh when he suggested 6am, so at least I wasn't that reckless!

So, Much Ado About Nothing at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane is a blast. Nothing can make the plot anything other than absurd, but the disco delight of this production cuts that back enough to make it bearable. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I have laryngitis and am sounding weirdly like Fenella Fielding. At present I can barely get above a whisper so am unable to talk to anyone, which is not ideal.

Just made my 45th blood donation so 5 more before I get my gold award. 🥇

And they are going to start using the church a short walk from me, so hopefully no more bus journeys to get to the donor centre. 👍🏻

Guess which play I am seeing today?

Lettie very much approves of my new heated blanket. 👌

I do indeed! I am going to the matinee on 2nd January and very much looking forward to it. x

I am pretty sure that this is the Tesco at the top of my road. 😂

In today's episode of how is Jaq such an idiot, I managed to stab myself in the foot when I dropped a sharp knife while cutting cheese.

JFC So much for taking my laptop into the garden for some relaxing noodling. Someone is cutting a big tree down in one of the gardens that backs on to mine and it is NOISY.

I can hear the kids next door trying to teach their alexa to speak bengali. 😂

YES! It's ON. Get the Tory fuckers OUT.

I'm going away for a few days - first overnight trip since I got the cats - and the cats KNOW something is up. They are hovering around me while I wait for my fellow roadtrippers, pawing at my packed bag and are generally suspicious. And yes, I feel very guilty about leaving them for 4 nights!

This evening I am seeing Operation Mincemeat for the fourth time - the first was at Southwark Playhouse on a rainy summer evening in 2021 - and am thrilled to be there the night after they won best new musical at the Oliviers. 👏

The Victoria Line has been fubah all day, yand you can hear the desperation in the driver's voice as she just asked people not to destroy the doors. I think she meant obstruct. 🤔

Nurse at the blood donor centre wondered if I was planning to enter the all England speed bleeding championships. 😂

I am knitting for the first time in ages and for the first time since the cats moved in and they are FASCINATED. 😬
