Honestly, I'm about to waste a £60 ticket for the BRILLIANT French singer Zaho de Sagazan, from 7pm at the Palladium. Please can someone take it. I can't make it. She is amazing. I'm gutted.

Slow cooker arrived. Washed. Tomorrow is the day of First Casserole. Reading the instructions, because I'm obedient. One question: I thought leaving it unattended was the whole point? There's covering your back legally, and there's being idiotic. Or both.

Waiting for a reply from my daughter to say if I have her permission to share a pic of her a) on a horse b) jumping c) dressed as Cruella de Vil. The horse was also dressed as Pongo. She got a clear round and won first prize for fancy dress. It is epic. Let's hope she says yes.

Going to put this on front of you again. The news moves on, but the problems faced by those living in Jamaica are still there.
I know many of you will already have done something to help the people of Jamaica, but if you felt like helping a specific family, this is the GoFundMe set up by my son’s girlfriend for her relatives, who find themselves in dire straits. Every bit helps, shares appreciated. gofund.me/9b5b74984

New build regime started today (you can hear about Old Build Regime when it's finally [legally] over) and BOY am I a zippy project manager. Skip hire? TICK Portaloo hire? TICK Plant hire? TICK Contacting Building Control? TICK Architect conference call? TICK

Wetsuited-up Ed surfs up to the bank of the Thames at Westminster, steps off his board, hands Keir the letter, towels himself dry and gets on with his day. Spot on. God I miss Election Ed.
I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

Last night my son told me about a secret thing he's doing this week. I don't know why it's secret, but can't tell you what it is. What I *can* say is that it involves telling a load of actors how to sing in Latin. Niche, but very cool.

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

Me, giggling like a goblin, strapping myself into the BBC Boss chair, commissioning non-celeb sitcom & sketch show after another. High concept narrative comedies by women! 100 shows with writers rooms! Tell whatever celeb blokes are doing a travel show they can make their own way back from Bordeaux!

Booked my flu jab, because I'm the exact target audience scared by today's news that the virus mutated over the summer and we're in for a bad winter of it. Paying for jab, mind. The government doesn't care *that* much.

When I don't take his polite sitting-down death stare supper hints (half an hour early and I've just about dragged him into GMT now), he walks backwards pulling silly faces wagging his tail

First time my air fryer and I have fallen out. It burned the top of my ginger cake. BUT I was going to ice it anyway so will slice the top off and nobody will ever know. Do not dob me in it.

Into the eight hour. Fourth call. This hold music could actually drive me to violence. But my call *is* important to them. So there's that.
Caught in kafkaesque loop trying to track my mother's supermarket order from 500 miles away, when she lives 1.3 miles from their shop. New driver didn't see her flat number. Apparently went in, didn't ask at front desk, went away again. 5 hours and 3 lo o o o n g calls later we are still wondering

As the cold winter months stretch out ahead, I stared at my one hob ring and tiny air fryer and had a yearning for warming casseroles. So ordered a slow cooker (I think @janjonesauthor.bsky.social said I should ages ago). I can give it to my son when I regain a kitchen so NOT A WASTE OF MONEY

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

For complicated reasons I'm not going to get into, this afternoon I had a wonderfully circular conversation, halfway through which I realised we were reënacting (oh hai The New Yorker) Grosse Pointe Blank's first Ultimart scene:
"what are you doing here?"
"what are YOU doing here?"
"I live here"
etc
