The new Twin Atlantic album is so good and sounds amazing. So proud of my pal who did all the mixing and mastering. One of the things that gives me the most joy in life is seeing my friends do brilliant things in their lives.

Nothing like waking up at 5.57am in a total panic that you haven't packed and are going to miss your flight that leaves in less than 2 hours only to realise that it was a dream and that you don't have a flight to catch.

The amount of books I buy from either the authors or someone else mentioning it on here, even when not on sale, is pretty high. I always feel overwhelmed with choice for books, so I love seeing posts like this and having the choice removed, it's just a book I think I'll like and I'll buy it now!

I just love it when there's a massive valuation at the end of Antiques Roadshow. The gasps and the lady's face tonight was excellent.

Not saying I have the ability to curse myself, but last Saturday I said to a friend I was surprised I'd not had a migraine attack after so many flights/travel, and then had one that night. And Friday I said to a colleague I'd not had a cold in ages and today I wake up all congested and shivery.

I've just discovered the movie Waiting is on Rakuten TV. I cannot stress how much anyone who's ever worked in the service industry should watch this, espeically if you ever worked in TGI Friday's or similar!

Had a horrific migraine attack yesterday night/today. Vomiting for 4 hours, vision gone, no medication working kind etc Put Sister Act on for a bit of light relief and made the very stupid decision to check how old Whoopie Goldberg was when it was released. 37. Worse than the migraine pain.

Love this discourse on a Sunday morning. It’s delicious thanks. 1. Lot of ppl saying ‘short guys are so insecure it’s weird’ and like… no it’s not weird. It’s understandable. 2. Insecurity is not in itself a moral failing, it’s a natural response in a society that tells you your body sucks. BUT

My friend sent me this picture today of a bear that seems to be getting cosy on their property a lot at the moment. Don't think it's big enough for fat bear week, but I love it very much.

I hope the people on my flight today, who refused to put their buggy in the hold causing our flight to be delayed by 45 minutes while sitting on the tarmac and making a flight attendant cry, stand on lego for the rest of the year. The entitled prick said he was being bullied! Unbelievable.

I love visiting new places and I love being a tourist, but I hate other tourists. Well, not all the other tourists, but I reckon about 80%. Why are people so ignorant of what is going on around them? Why are they stopping with no warning in the middle of the street?!

Every year on 9/11 I think not only about the terror and horror of what happened that day, but the fury and terror unleashed on many other countries as a result of it. I also also think of this photo my cousin took that day from her apartment in (I think) Brooklyn.
A photo by Helene Seligman of the twin towers after the second plane had hit. There are people playing games of tennis on courts in the foreground, unaware of what has happened.

"Deciding on a premise"? You already HAVE a premise! It's the same premise The Muppets have had since 1974! "Watch the funny sock people do silly stuff on stage, and also one, sometimes two or three, famous humans do entertaining." BOOM! You've got Disney+ content! What part of that is confusing?

I haven't read a book I really love in ages. The sort of book where you can't stop thinking about it when you finish it and you miss the characters. Tell me the last brilliant book you read, and maybe it'll be the next brilliant book I read. (I'm on holiday so needs to be available on Kobo)

We all have skin in the game. All of us. There are activities that are more dangerous and active targets, like regularly attending synagogue. I’d say openly Jewish senior politician falls under that umbrella???

Going to shul shouldn’t be an act of courage. The attacks on synagogues are real & terrifying & heartbreaking. You also don’t need to be religious to have skin in the game. You need to be publicly identified as Jewish. Miliband is a Jewish public figure. He is at as much risk as all of us.

Yeah there are conversations where someone’s Jewishness is a valid discussion. There are rare cases of people who have never before culturally or religiously self-defined as Jewish grasping at family backgrounds to excuse antisemitism. That’s a real tactic and it’s gross. Miliband isn’t doing that.

Today was REALLY good. I went on a tour of the UN in Vienna, but was the only person on the English tour so got a personalised version where I got to learn about which bits of the UN I was most interested in so got to learn about drugs and space!!

I don't know if anyone else has put this, but: The author of the original study on wolves who created the phrase 'alpha' in terms of packs of animals later stated that the study was fundamentally flawed and this only applied to captive wolves. He said the study should be withdrawn and not cited.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

The fabric seats on the tube are disgusting. They're dirty, they're stained, who knows who has pissed themselves on them. But I've never slid off my seat onto the legs of another woman because the seats are a slippery plastic and my dress creates no friction in London. So overall London > Vienna

About 9 years ago I went to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. It was amazing but I really didn't like the mummified bodies. It just felt wrong to look at them. Anyway, today I thought I'd enjoy a catacomb tour. Reader, I did not.

Every time I visit cities outside of the UK I am reminded how incredibly lucky we are that so many of our museums and galleries are free to visit. To visit Tate Britain and Tate Modern you pay £0. To visit Albertina and Albertina Modern in Vienna is €20.90/17.90 each or €29 for both, per adult.
