Asda delivery yesterday, none of the fresh or chilled items in it. Morrisons this morning, very little on the shelves. Supply chain problems? The beginning of a food crisis? I'm up for a riot if it comes to it, who's joining me?

I made the terrible mistake of bodging together a playlist of my all-time favourite tracks and now it’s pretty much all I listen to. Or indeed want to. More than 7 hours of bliss & it’s darn hard to step away from it in search of pastures new.

In 1936 Tintin creator Hergé’s original multi-colour cover art for The Blue Lotus was too expensive to reproduce, so it ended up being given to his editor’s 7-yr-old son. In 2021, it was sold ~ for almost $4m (Herge Moulinsart)

I mean, I could go on about how a drunken mistake (not mine, I hasten to add) five years ago has led to me having to fork out nearly a grand this week, but what's the point?

13 hour day at work (sicknesses, maternity leave, unexpected resignation), roadworks all down the A10. Two hours to do a 25-minute trip. Get home, sit down to take my boots off - power cut. Sat here in the dark without even a cuppa. Pray for me and my non-existent children.

Caught this the other day. Hadn't seen it since was first released. It is utterly joyous.
Available for just another eight days on BBC iPlayer. Gloriously funny (proper LOLs throughout) and has Barbra Streisand ever looked more beautiful?

Got a message from the vet: it's time for Kato's annual health check. This time, could you please provide a sample of his urine?
Anybody know how to do this without losing an arm or an eye or whatever?
