Nightmare. Bin collection day is a Wednesday and our non-recycling is on a two week cycle. Everything is already full. Not sure I am going to make it.

I mean Day of the Jackal is epic. A vulnerable yet ruthless assassin. A tech billionaire. A brilliant MI5 agent trying to beat the system. It’s got everything. Total fanboy.

Kaos on Netflix. Total genius. Surely. Doing for Greek myths what Baz Luhrmann did for Romeo and Juliet.

Summer reading: The Glutton by A.K Blakemore. Gripping, beautiful, disturbing. Not sure what to make of it!

A load of cows. Unexpectedly terrifying. Probably best to stay in doors from now on…
