Unconvinced - can we give him measles and watch it play out
Someone ate a tulip and this time it wasn’t me
It’s tough seeing someone else live out your dream of eating bread and swimming in the canal
Why do men on social media love to say the sky is falling like they invented dread. There will always be a limit to, or the contours of the limit to globalisation. It’s man made, it’s not the universe.

I will never skip an Edith Pritchett
I will never skip a 30 gallon jambalaya video on TikTok
WHERE’S MY TOP OF THE POPS
Completely agree - This and the Witchfinder General No 9 episode are better than the originals!
Went to see Stage/Fright at the Wyndham’s last week, it has less than a month left in its run and was so incredibly satisfying as an #insideno9 nut / horror fanatic. A bounty of spooky sketches and an excellent swan song for the series.
Having a 3 and 6 year old is having to concentrate hard when your 6 year old is explaining the rules of a computer game while your three year old is screaming “MUMMY BIRDS DON’T HAVE EARS” Like he’s uncovered a government conspiracy and both conversations are equally urgent
Today Lisa Scott-Lee asked me if I knew how to get to the Circle Line. I’ll be riding this high interminably (I didn’t know the way lol)
Don’t you *ever* go to London again.
Tonight, Ben Wheatley revealed that Reece Shearsmith’s tent scene was a total surprise; one take, no one knew how he’d play it. The reactions are real. My admiration for Shearsmith has deepened… as has my fear.
A FIELD IN ENGLAND is a monochromatic masterpiece that revels in psychedelia, isolation, and bromance (fight me on it). A stellar cast with Ben Wheatley’s visionary direction. Reece Shearsmith is absolutely mesmerising.

Well if it isn’t all my “I’ll get back to you Friday at the latest”s coming home to roost
ham is onomatopoeia because that is the sound I make when I bite it
Duck cassoulet (tavern food to Americans)
She fell asleep in my hand
Kicking off half term with four cups of coffee by 9AM, an absurd amount of pastries, and a Lego free-for-all. Oh god, I’ve created a corporate strategy day.
A hand drawn postcard that says “wish you were here” depicting a beach holiday at a resort called “goblin sands”
Our house has a “Breakfast Goblin” - an early morning entity who prepares fresh fruit and cereals for the kids, leaving without witness or trace before they get downstairs. Totally unrelated, my partner was ill in bed yesterday so the breakfast goblin was on holiday, and left us this postcard
Homemade pizza with salami Napoli. My pizza stone was £20 after my £10 one exploded after 10 years. The 100% inflation rate is still worth it 🍽️
I put a spell on you.. and now, YOU’RE CAKE! 🧙🏻♀️ Chocolate fudge cake with sea salt and olive oil 🍽️
I can’t comprehend 75% of what I’m looking at but that doesn’t stop me wanting to demolish it all
