If you ordered smashed avocado on toast in a café, would you assume it would be actual avocado? I’ve just been served the sort of green slop that comes in a squeezy bottle and I can’t decide if my expectations were too high 😆

Here’s a conundrum: my 16 year old leap-day twins want to start driving lessons as soon as they turn 17… but will that be Feb 28th or March 1st? I phoned DVLA and they were a bit stumped 😆

Is there a single TV/film app where you say what streaming platforms you have and it tells you everything you could watch? Because otherwise I fear I will be trapped in a Netflix/Disney/Prime/Paramount/BBC etc scroll loop until I die

Sure there are things I’m meant to be doing today but the newest @claremackwrites.bsky.social #ffionmorgan is calling my name - such a brilliant series and #otherpeopleshouses is another winner.

Staffing Santa’s grotto at the school fayre. I guess I should be relieved they couldn’t find an elf costume. Anyway, it is altogether *too early* for the C word imho

Watching one of my favourite 90s films, Jack & Sarah, and sobbing as much as I did the first time I watched it. Imogen Stubbs, Richard E Grant, Judy Dench, Ian McKellan… amazing cast! @itvx.bsky.social

I have opened all 24 doors on my Bird & Blend tea advent calendar so I can choose what to drink each day. How do we feel about this? Totally practical, or absolute savagery?

OMG there is a woman next to me in the hairdressing salon reading one of my books - do I say hello? Offer to sign it? Keep quiet? What would you do?
