I’m going to think about this whenever I watch Abigail’s Party.
Demi Roussos on Top of the Pops. Over his lifetime Roussos sold over 60 million albums. He survived a hostage ordeal when terrorists hijacked a TWA flight in 1985, and in 2014 had a newly-discovered asteroid named after him.

I must admit that breakfast is the one time on holiday that I often want an English breakfast - partly because a full English is a rare treat and I’m on holiday so want to treat myself. But European pastries are perfectly acceptable.

I think the greatest demonstration of my willpower are the rare occasions I manage not to eat an entire Terry’s Chocolate Orange in one sitting.

This makes sense… 13-year-old me enthusiastically picked up the first three with Christmas book vouchers. I had never read anything with those sorts of details before.

I’m determined to plan my next visit for when the days are longer. The weather may still change every 20 minutes but even allowing for accidental walking diversions/pub stops/emergency chip shop visits, I should get back in the light!

Cornwall does this. Also, I’m terrible at anticipating the darker nights for September holidays: last year I cycled a few miles back from the village over after several pints, relying solely on my bike light, trying to keep a golf brolly tucked under one arm.

Well, I was a tad surprised to see him still included, but would probably have been hard to screen this without him.

I’d completely blanked the Cornish roads out of all my family holiday memories. First adult visit, I left it a tad late to head back one day and ended up driving to my accommodation along twisty turny narrow roads in the dark, during a storm. Large gin was very much needed when I made it back.

The first celebrity death that meant something to me. I’d been watching his series on UK Gold over the previous few months - initially because they were on after the Doctor Who omnibuses. Seeing the news and obituaries made me realise: oh, this stuff I’ve been enjoying is kind of a big deal.

I enjoy returning to Reggie Perrin, having felt like Reggie at different points in my life. There’s certainly always an appeal in the freedom from adult responsibilities.

Day 5: Episode 6 of The Invasion with lemon drizzle cake - gas man’s friend the window repair man came for a quote, then… bought a dinner set and did a bonus trip to B&Q for wood, more paint and sanding sponges. Third time this week I’ve been told “You’ve taken on *quite* a project.”

As a former garden centre employee, we spent all of September putting up trees and decorations, but had the decency to shield it from the public until the first weekend in October. I’ll never accept anything earlier.

Spent the evening in a lovely pub with lovely beer and good company. Just scoffed a Mars bar out the machine on the platform before the journey home.

First annual leave since I bought my house. Planning to spend next week sanding, panelling, painting and carpet shopping. But first: pub.

Why did they have to change the title of The Great British Bake Off for the Americans? Was it not self explanatory enough that they needed to changing it to …Baking Show?

This is weirdly one of the most difficult reviews I’ve ever written. Usually I just bang them out, go to sleep and see if they’re illegible in the morning. But something is different here.  I have kno...

His comment that he believed no one was really properly content and happy stood out to me. He has clearly never felt that at any time in his life and can’t imagine that anyone else could.

14 years ago I watched all the 7 Up series in the build up to 56 Up. I was 18 and fascinated to see how people’s lives developed from their youthful expectations and what really brought them happiness, while I was still figuring out what mine was all about. #70Up has been a great finale.

Two people I knew took their own lives last week - we still view mental health with too much cynicism and not enough compassion - remember @samaritans.bsky.social and @calmzone.bsky.social - it is not weak to share how you feel #mentalhealth #depression #suicideawareness

I’ve started a management apprenticeship course, which means I’m now signed up to various student platforms. All the emails are currently aimed at university students and I never expected to feel this ancient in my 30s.

My near vision has got worse the last few years. Maybe my long-sightedness has improved so this is all bothering me more.
