Yes, I watched this at the weekend and she was fantastic. I usually hate to watch adaptations of books I have read, but I felt this added to and expanded upon the book.

Seems harsh. It's exactly the kind of thing my cat does like to listen to.

I have a pork chop too, but I'd really like some rice so I'm pondering cooking some rice and broccoli with ginger and garlic. Maybe sesame oil and soy sauce. Grill the chop and put it on top. This would also give me some leftover rice for breakfast, so a winner all round.

Trees in winter. Moss. Cats. Sea air. Coffee. London. The smell of roses. Tomatoes on toast. Woodland creatures.

Theatres do this as well, it's infuriating. It appears that the computers have decided we are only allowed to go out in pairs.

Street Legal. By a mile. Side one can be problematic, but side two is perfect; building to crescendo in 'Where are you tonight'. Every line a masterpiece. To be sung at volume.

Yes! Police chatter! I'd forgotten about tuning into police radios and listening to their nonsense. It's brought back happy memories of me and my Dad listening and giggling together at the sheer naughtiness of it. In Brynglas, so I must have been 9 or 10. The police never did come to arrest us ...

I forgot John Donne, which I loved and still do, and Orwell (I think Animal Farm), which I found interesting but for the language and history of ideas, not as literature.

UK, early 80s: I loved Shakespeare (Macbeth & The Tempest), Hardy (Mayor of Casterbridge), Dickens (Great Expections) & and the poetry - I remember MacNeice, Hughes and Plath but there were more. I was undecided about Wuthering Heights but love it now. Hated Lawrence and still do.

Yes. We should celebrate New Year on the Spring Equinox. Or the Autumn, I'm not fussed. But definitely an equinox and not now.

I had two aubergines and some lamb mince, so I'm, slowly, making a lazy person moussaka. I think there are greens. There is also an open bottle of white wine. No desert, but I made a cake earlier so I had afternoon tea.

I have mentioned it but he says he likes oats better than rice. Contrary.

It is the death of joy. Also. My son makes porridge with vegetable stock. Sometimes puts an egg on top. Utterly grim.

Yes ... I have a label-maker and like to test it. The stew was nice! Lots of star anise. Tasty.

I took something out of the freezer this morning. The label says 'Beef stew (Asian)'. Label not dated. Could be anything really. There is broccoli. I might have a glass of red.

I think Simon Russell Beale, although in my head Thomas Cromwell looks like Warren Clarke and no amount of Rylance will shift that image.

It was really disappointing. I've a soft spot for Mary Beale - but between her and the 20th century room, it was all instantly forgettable.
