Rahm Emmanuel makes Hilary Clinton seem like charm personified so what’s the game here? He cannot possibly be deluded enough to think he can become president.

The small pack of pancetta cubes in the bottom of the fridge seems to have been there longer than i thought. Date is 7th May. The packaging isn’t bulging at all though. It is cured (insert jokes here) but four months is a bit long. Sniff test or bin?

It’s the lovely turquoise background of the Control Enthusiast poster. I’m in red with shoulder length wavy balayaged hair (as my husband called it ‘a rainbow of brown’). The text says Sarah Millican

By the way, if you like almonds and you’ve not been to Lidl for a while it might be time to pop in. I don’t know if they’re in all stores and for how long but their almond turnovers are gorgeous. Apologies for your cholesterol and hba1c.

My show Bobby Dazzler (2023) is on Channel 4 tonight and 4Seven tomorrow. Really hope you enjoy it. If you don’t have those channels, you can watch it any time via my website. Photo and poster design by Matt Crockett Graphics by Gary Williams Dress by Zuri
The image is from my Bobby Dazzler poster. It’s a golden background and I’m standing in the best possible dress. It’s a Zuri dress with a swirly multicoloured patterned. I have my hands on my hips and I’m laughing. My hair is long, blonde and shiny. The problem when you call your show ‘Bobby Dazzler’ is that you have to look like a Bobby Dazzler. For those not in the know, a Bobby Dazzler  is a person or thing that is remarkably fine, brilliant, attractive, or excellent.
Underneath is some text in a red and blue box that says:
Bobby Dazzler
Channel 4 - Friday 21st 11:05pm

Lengthy chat with a friend this evening as his son has buggered his exams. 2nd year of his degree. The story is he failed one by 1% and another by 2% and has to repeat the year. Doesn’t ring true to me. If it was then he would surely be allowed resits.
