A stranger
We received a text that the power might be switched off in our area. Then the power went off, for approximately five minutes. In that time we’d gotten into bed and devoured an entire package of Sharwood’s poppadoms. So that bodes well for an apocalypse.

Is this a joke, FIFA? I may never watch football again.

Shocking, a dancer is winning #strictly.

They’ve really enjoyed watching April and Leo’s journey. April April? Contemptuous, haughty, unpleasant April? And Leo? Can anyone explain. #mafsuk

Rebecca’s mum being selfish instead of supportive of her daughter finding love and moving for it fills me with rage. #mafsuk

Help, my algorithm thinks I want an ugly blanket or a hug from a giraffe.

Deleriously happy to be back home

Last night I dreamt of failure, rejection, judgement. My favourite.

Staying with my original bully, feeling unsafe, even with a family of bodyguards.

After scrolling TikTok for hours in a menopausal haze, I attempted to start a new book. I skimmed pages, thinking “get to the point already” before realising what I was doing. This is likely happening to an entire generation of people. Not mine, I hasten to add. But a lot of us too I’m sure.

Why did no one tell me about Inside No. 9? Well thank you, because I have 9 seasons to catch up on!

Society may be collapsing but my 16yo son and his friend have been spending their lunch money this week on exotic fruits at a local market so the kids are okay (I think?)

If you’re just driving by flags on lampposts without taking them down, why?

Calling the short story genre the TikTok of literature is one of my best ideas 16yo immediately shot down.

They really gave Meghan Markle a second series.

Weapons was very good. Strange, terrifying, funny, gross - everything a horror should be.

If Canada’s national treasure says we’re fucked then we are fucked.

And Just Like That has more cringe per second than any reboot I have ever watched, but I can’t stop watching it.

“Some viewers may find this footage distressing” as the media proceeds to play the fucking footage on every conceivable platform. Ghouls.

Did you know that Jason Schwartzman was a Coppola? I’m starting to wonder if maybe I’m a Coppola. Anyway I loved The Last Showgirl.

I’m finding this new series of Race Across the World especially touching. Everyone is so lovely and open to growth.

BEDTIME

I have a tiny wee headache.

Oh dear. I hope you aren’t dying.

Sorry?

I said I hope you feel better soon.

Except that’s not what you said, is it?

It’s what I meant.

(In my defence I read an article. Or maybe it was a TikTok. People with headaches can die in their sleep ok?) (Goodnight)
