Madrid! ☀️

Tomorrow we're off on our holiday to Madrid, Bilbao and San Sebastian. My AS Level Spanish has ebbed away a bit but I've been listening to a lot of Rosalía.

Basically I'd now struggle to ask for directions but could tell you to "sprinkle brown sugar on my coffin" perfectly.

Watching the DadSwap sketch next to my actual dad was an experience #snlUK

The Peepshow - The Murders at 10 Rillington Place by Kate Summerscale

Book 17 of 2026 - The Peepshow by Kate Summerscale. A fascinating true crime deep dive into a British murder case I wasn't familiar with, with a look at the misogyny, racism and brutality of British society in the 40's and 50's.

Marinated some cod in lime juice, garlic and ginger, then coated them in a spicy gram flour batter and fried them up for amritsari fish burgers. Slapped, tbqh.

Not Catholic. Not even raised Catholic. Nan was brought up Catholic, and despite her passing away about 16 years ago I still choose to not do any meat on Good Friday. I think I just enjoy a cheeky little food ritual every now and again.

I'm at a Starbucks to do some writing and their music is bad and loud so I'm rocking the Loop earplugs AND white noise playing out of noise cancelling headphones over the top combo.

It's lovely.

Possibly a perfect adaptation. Cried 3 times.

Loved it!

I absolutely adored Project Hail Mary when I read it last year. I am in the cinema, sat and ready. I have high hopes!

A row of colourful beer cans from Vault City lined up on a wooden counter top

When we were in Edinburgh I very tragically tripped and fell into the taproom/bottle shop of my favourite brewery, Vault City, who make incredible sours. Here are the girls.

A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers

Books 15 and 16 - the Monk and Robot duology by Becky Chambers. A re-read for Leeds Queer Book Club, these hit even harder the second time around. Solarpunk masterpieces.

What I Ate in One Year (and related thoughts) by Stanley Tucci

Book 14 - What I Ate in One Year. Stanley Tucci's diary of one year through the lens of food, family and travel was wonderful and lifted by his dulcet tones as an audiobook. Made me hungry.

Strange Pictures by Uketsu

Book 13 - Strange Pictures. Starts off as a series of unconnected mystery stories where drawings and pictures are central to you as the reader solving them. Slowly a creepy, connecting narrative starts to build. Could have felt flat and gimmicky but this was a lot of fun.

Friendly reminder

House of Splinters by Laura Purcell

Book 12 - House of Splinters. A prequel to a book I read a couple of years ago. Spooky Georgian thriller about probably haunted, possibly murderous lifesize freestanding wooden portraits (dummy boards/silent companions). Atmospheric and creepy.

Pizza with chicken and green peppers

Cheeky little homemade pizza because it's Friday

This is still free to watch for the next couple of days and I can't recommend it enough. Absolutely loved it.

Kesha on stage with dancers

Had a genuinely lovely day yesterday in Manchester with friends, capped off by seeing Kesha absolutely blow the roof off Aviva Studios. And no hangover today!! 🎉

We have written to Wes Streeting over the fact that his decision to pause the trial seems to have been based entirely on a letter whose author has now been recused due to bias.
