Agnes’s latest album is 31 minutes of solid gold dance-pop perfection.

This is for workout addicts, right?

Adventures in jet lag, day 2: awake since 4.45am rather than 3.45am, so that’s nice.

Woof

And it is…

Jet lag is kicking my ass. Greetings from northwest England where my body clock thinks it’s lunchtime.

BAYBEEEEE. Very ahead of the curve I know but I’ve just taken delivery of the MOST outrageous sequin blazer that will TEAR UP my work Xmas do this December.

People’s behaviour in airports and when boarding planes needs to be studied. It’s like they’ve checked their brains into the hold.

Just spent a good 6 minutes in a toilet cubicle wrestling with the thigh-high compression stockings I have to wear on longhaul flights, and god knows what the person waiting outside thought I was up to. I must’ve sounded like I was birthing a foal.

Gonna be honest with you guys. The Train to Busan sequel, Track Back to Seoul, is quite similar.

In Korea they don’t do Netflix & chill. Here they have…

Been in Korea for a few days now. This is a country deeply dependent on Middle Eastern oil. Petrol at the forecourts is still less than £1 a litre.

We are being robbed blind.

I been trying to for years…

I know I’m not supposed to fancy Harry Hole (because of his egregious personality flaws) but my god, Tobias Santelmann could absolutely sink it to the nuts and I’d be begging for more.

I do mean John Virgo, you’re right

It could be worse. I had one the other night in which I made out with snooker’s John Parrott. And yes, he js dead now.

Day one of our Seoul Food adventure. 19 hours of travel caught up with us and a lovely little 5-hour nap back at our hotel has us raring to go for Sunday night eats.

Yep we have that too! Although honestly finding old faithful Citymapper easier to navigate.

Thanks! We took your advice about e-SIMs and got ourselves T-Money cards too.

For what it’s worth thats what my husband and I pay between us on our mortgage each month. Two beds, bright, and yes it has a living room.

Move to Manchester. You won’t regret it.

One of my small pleasures when in Spain is a little helado while walking the streets — always dark chocolate paired with black cherry. Heaven itself.

Sorry Dave, the published guide (per OP) confirms that Americans can only include nuts if they are candied or otherwise masked by massive amounts of sugar.

You present to me twelve ice-cream flavours and only one involves fruit?

Where’s the cherry to cut through the chocolate? Or, hell, some mint?

At least six of these are variations on a theme. An illusion of choice.

I’ll take that… 😈

‘Pleasant’ — talk about damning with feint praise 😂

Okay fine, I accept that I am in fact furry.

We’re trying to travel light but I’m deliberately not taking hand luggage so I can bring a little overhead suitcase of new garb back…

Own goal ✅
Penalty conceded ✅
Red card ❓

Wrexham just one reckless challenge away from completing the Self Destruct checklist.

Leaving for Seoul in the morning and attempted to begin packing. Took a long look at it before making an approach and then, suddenly, refusing. I feel like a dressage horse.

Lots of love, Cal. There are some people out there who are good and kind. I hope you meet some of them soon.
