Freelance designer of books, fabric & bags. I talk about TV, old films, camp culture, tea, and making stuff. She/her.
Very pissed off to see dog-whistley TERFy propaganda littering our idyllic lido.

If you're leaving your rubbish, know that I'll make it my personal mission to remove every bit I find.

People want to swim in peace, to forget about all the shit outside the gates. Take your bitterness somewhere else.

Get some 'me time', they said.Watch Dark Shadows in the bath, they said. It's be relaxing, they said.

I like to maintain a nemesis in all important areas of my life. To be honest, one of them is probably you.

(Someone once told me it was psychopathic that I did this, and long story short they're now one of them)

I have probably seen Reservoir Dogs more than any other film, but never quite like this. (It was Zapruder's first birthday yesterday, so she thinks she's ready for grown up films now)

Our fave South London Gladiator AND River Song?!? My 8-year old has lost his damn mind. #strictly

Imagine including Lost and not Mad Men. LOST.

Was just telling my 4-year old the plot of Amadeus and his only question at the end of it was 'Are there any werewolves?', which I think we can all agree is a sensible line of enquiry

Oh no, I missed it.
This is absolutely incredible

You've inherited a movie theatre. What's your first double feature?

On Long Lost Family Davina has just told a lady that there's a second secret sister looking for the same dad, and she did not precede it with 'Fancy another one?' and I'm going to have to call the police.

This is the song that was playing on the surgeon's radio when my oldest child was finally forcibly and unwillingly evicted from my womb #liveaid

The popularity of Mick Jagger continues to baffle me. He's just uniquely dreadful to look at. #liveaid

In my head Dire Straits and Level 42 are basically the same band, and no, I'm not really interested in you explaining why I'm wrong. #liveaid

I don't want to say Madonna is past it, but my son just revealed he thought she was our local MP, Siobhan McDonagh

The 8-year old is refusing to go to bed, so I've told him all about how Brian May is married to the Rani and now we're googling 'Freddie Mercury's cats'. #liveaid

Well, this is depressing.

I've lived in Merton all my life but today is the first day that I have happened upon The Queue and ... what the hell kind of madness has possessed people? Guys, THERE ARE TENTS.

This season's heatwave essential: an absolutely massive, ridiculously colourful tote bag. Pack your picnics, blankets, books and towels and look incredible while you do so. It even has a pocket!

Ended up watching The Prodigy because I couldn't be fucked finding the TV switch, and I've actually enjoyed their set very much (while doing my needlepoint cat tapestry, because I'm well rock and roll)

Maybe it's finally not being exhausted all the time, but watching Glastonbury this year is the first since having a baby that I'm really, really gutted to not be there. And that baby (now an 8-year old) is asking if we can go next year and I'm thinking 'imagine if we did...'

Having a mini weepy breakdown thinking about how Chic at Glastonbury 2013 was one of the maddest, best nights of my life. I was about to get married, head over heels in love! I'd just been released from the onsite medical tent! I was so, insanely happy. And now... Life has gone very not-as-planned.
