Had my first mince pie of the year just now. I refuse to feel guilty about that.

Features like this are weird. I used to work in the food hall at M&S, but I wouldn't use that fact to presume a position of authority on what the best sandwiches ever are.

When you get invested in a TV show, series one ends on a cliffhanger, then you find out it's not getting a series 2.

Goodbye Sadie. Your flame burned short, but so bright. The mice and birds round here won't miss you at all, but we will. Sleep well.

Well, this one's gonna stay with me for ages. The most disturbing, dark, brilliant book I've read in a good while.

Wrote a story for the first time in, oh, six or seven months. I'm not saying it's good, mind you, but it's great to get back to it.

It is traditional in Iceland to give the gift of a book to be opened on Christmas Eve. Books are unwrapped and then read together. It is called Jolabokaflod (Christmas book flood). 📖 🎄

Look at the difference in covers between autobiographies by men and those by women. Look how tedious and serious the men's books are, with their grey and black colour schemes.

Each year, the Christmas decorations go up in my local Spar and they think, 'sod it, break out the Easter chocolate'. I sigh inwardly each time, curse their ridiculousness, and then buy Mini Eggs.

There's a McDonald's radio ad for Happy Meals, which talks tells you (or your kid most likely) can choose to get a Grinch toy or book with it. It ends with the words "Choice of toy or book is between book or toy." This is a weird sentence. It baffles me. What is its purpose?
