⭐️ 2025/26 TOUR ⭐️ + BESTSELLING BOOK ‘Namaste Motherf*ckers’ OUT NOW! 🙏🏻 At 45, Joan Rivers told me to get into stand-up. So I did. She was 81 • Live at the Apollo • QI •
Pinned
I’m getting so many lovely messages from fellow midlife women saying they forgot they’d pre-ordered it and have bought it again; some more than once. Wondering if anyone’s ever made it onto bestseller list on back of menopause/brain fog before? Happy to be the first:

Whenever I see Jeff curled up in his nest with his pink corduroy unicorn I think we’ve got it all wrong and should all be him.

FaceTimed the wonder girl - me in London, her in Madrid - and look! Both supporting the mother brand. Like time we were reading same book and compared on FaceTime where we were. Same chapter. Same page. Same paragraph. 👯‍♂️

Today a friend of mine was round at my place having a cry. Jeff gave her each of his corduroy toys, laying them gently one after another at her feet. She was still crying. But he did a good job. Good dog, Jeff.

(Not so) little acts of microfeminism. Taking up space that is ours.

My daughter and I have not lived in the same country for 7 years now. Every time we say goodbye, we each hide cards somewhere for the other to find. Just found today’s tucked into my laptop at the airport. It’s with the usual heavy heart I’m flying in wrong direction. Te amo, hija mía.

How is it our last day already? 👯‍♂️ ❤️

Sleep’s been a bit disrupted this year - for many reasons, not all of them 56-yr-old-woman-related. Then over in Madrid for the weekend, sharing bedroom with my daughter, I sleep for 10 hours. And we wake and laugh and talk and knit. And I’ve got my baby girl back for a couple of days.

This is more like it. Madrid street crossings moving away from reference man imagery. Once the evolutionary timeline depicting primate to human includes woman, we’ll know we’re in business.

Wasn’t expecting a full moon at Heathrow…

No one tells you how fragmented life becomes in empty nest. Off to Madrid to see my girl for the first time since the summer - leaving son in Devon, dog with friends and cat with another friend at home in London. I’d like to magic us all together just for a day. Guess that’s what Christmas is for.

VIP tour guest this week - Dad! Luckiest daughter in the world. And yes - he’s still 45 and I’m in my twenties 💚🩷🙏🏻

Something I thought was a mosquito landed on my pillow last night. I grabbed the first thing that came to hand - a book of Buddhist readings - and whacked it.

Bottling this for if I have a bad day.

Meno brain fog - it’s now or never.
November 2, 2025 at 9:53 AM
Home! Happy (but letting me know I had no business leaving in the first place).

Jeff has the BEST time when I’m away. (But am still hotfooting it back from Stratford Literary Fest as can’t bear being without him another second.)

Sneaky backstage peek from last night’s show at the remarkable Pocklington Arts. Well worth the trip.
