10 seconds of traffic mayhem from last week’s trip. It’s like a mad, beautiful ballet that I 100% do not understand. 🚗 🏍️ 🛺

So, let's try doing #duvetknowitschristmas here this evening? People are literally Driving Home For Christmas right now, which MIGHT JUST mean that they'll be sleeping somewhere unusual. 1/

Sent to Whamhallah at Starbucks this morning. Taking it as a good indication that I’ve been out experiencing the world and Christmas Cheer enough to hear the full roster of carols. 🎄 🎶 #whamageddon

Good morning to everyone EXCEPT the bitter jobsworth working on the Brussels Air gate this morning who made me gate-check my bag for this half-empty flight. I wish for you nothing but a string of socks with nubby toe-seams that give you blisters.

Yes, lots of people died at Pompeii and Herculaneum when Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79 - but what about the far greater number of people who survived? Where did they go?

Ooh I’ve got one.
I stayed at the Royal College of Physicians’ accommodation for an event. Travelling solo and tucked up in bed, sleeping (though not well), when at 3am the bathroom light switched on.
I did the only sensible thing and hid under the covers. It switched off again around 3:20.

First night I returned to Victoria in 2020, I went down to the harbour at midnight, fresh from the airport.
All alone, I felt a hand push my back right shoulder. There was no one for 500 metres.
I walked FAST back to my hotel.
