So I spent the morning up early for breakfast, then running around the Olympic stadium in Athens, then getting a flight back and getting home despite the DLR being mostly closed. May have tomorrow off.

I have bought a new watch.

It's very smart.

It tells the time.

The last one stopped doing that at 5 seconds to 8:40

Why is London more horrendous than usual, other than:
1) I had too much to drink yesterday
2) I then had to penetrate the guy who has now openly admitted he wants to be my boyfriend
3) I then got no sleep

Tonight I had sex with a guy named Butch and he was anything but.

Basil, did you...

YES, I SPENT THE LAST 10 MINUTES AT WORK DOWNLOADING AND PRINTING THE NEW RAILWAYS BILL. Don't judge me.

I'm at the O2 for Benson Boone and there were far more women in the men's toilet than men. And I'm cool with it

There is also a chap in the pub sat on his own dressed as a blooded pirate.

A gentleman in the pub next to me is - very excitedly - transferring cards from his old wallet, into a new one, including some old train tickets 😍

It's also that time of the year when I don't know what weather forecasters mean by "mild". In the summer it means cooler than usual, in the winter it means warmer than usual

Golly town is hell at the minute because of the school holidays

I've had three emails today starting

"hope you had a good few days off..."

I was sick. My out of office clearly stated I was poorly.

Spent an hour working on next year's calendars only for it not to save and the computer unexpectedly shut down 😭

Today I saw my first ever postal order. They have the queen on them. The old, dead queen, not the new one.

Me mam today confirmed in front of my brother and sister, that I was her favourite.

Anyway, in usual bat-poo Basil life, something weird happened today.
Went to the local Sainsbos wearing my Everest Base Camp cap.
Check-out guy asked if I'd been so I said yes.
He said he used to live near there so I asked where.
Periche. I said I stayed there...

A couple has come into the pub. They have bought one pint between them and each keep drinking it alternately (he takes bigger swigs) and I can't tell if this is cute or cheap

I didn't think Every Brilliant Thing could improve on Lenny Henry, but honestly Minnie Driver knocked it out the park with brilliant, touching, sensitive, hilarity #EveryBrilliantThing

I don't buy coffe as I don't drink it, but if you do, buy Miranda one through her link.
What I do buy is books, and her latest is available here: www.biggreenbookshop.com/signed-copie...

Oh, and it's FAB by the way. I managed to bag a signed copy of both this and her original - Stopping To Notice😍

The statement "well, at least you've eaten today" really shouldn't be the win that it is
