OMG. Someone just accused me of having a cheese plant. It’s a banana plant. I am soooo offended.

How odd that there’s a coroner in the news in Avon called Dr Harrowing. Nominative determinism?

The garden yesterday afternoon. ‘Don’t move to Manchester,’ they said. ‘It’s cold and rainy.’

PS. My friend James often sat near her at the Foundation restaurant at Harvey Nicks and said she was very nice. I’ve not met many royals, but I did meet Prince Edward who was a bit boring and the Queen Mother who was quite a laugh.

Princess Di’s in the news again. When she died, I was at a party on a boat on Lake Lucerne. I said something irreverent about the royals. Someone said, ‘That’s a bit tasteless, considering.’ That’s how I found out. Her hearse later went past our house in Marylebone. We popped out to take a look.

I love my street. Just saw this collection of wine glasses outside a house.

I just said hello to a neighbour who replied, ‘you’re welcome’. This morning, I said hello to a taxi driver who replied, ‘how much?’ Is it National Inappropriate Reply Day?

The BBC is currently referring to the heatwave down south as a ‘burst of warmth’. Where do they get these phrases from? ☀️

Watching a property programme and a stupidly rich house hunter keeps saying: ‘This is what I call a hallway, this is what I call a fireplace, this is what I call a garden, this is what I call a bedroom.’ She is what I call unbelievably irritating.

Eddie and I are watching Chateau DIY which is our number one guilty pleasure.

I have nothing against Africa. I really like Africa. I have friends from Africa. I have a lodger from Africa. Dad worked in Africa. But I’m feeling oddly freaked out by the new world map which shows the real size of Africa.

Oh dear. Jenni Murray is in the news again. Oddly, I’ve seen very few outpourings about how kind and lovely she was. Tempting to think she might have been a horrific bully who enjoyed reducing young female producers to tears.

I told the toddler next door that we have fairies at the bottom of the garden and hinted that we also have pixies and goblins. He then asked me to explain what they all were, which I duly did. I’m now seriously worried his parents are going to report me to the RSPCC.

I just rescued another small fly from a glass of wine. If the RNLI would like to fund my activities and/or give me an award, I’d be amenable. Thank you.

I deny all rumours that Eddie had a small portion of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with his breakfast.

Sadly, I’d estimate about 100 small flies have died this summer by falling into my various glasses of wine - mostly Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc, since you ask. I hope they got pleasantly tipsy before expiring, like the Duke of Clarence drowning in a cask of Malmsey.

Ha! I doubt your gesture was undeserved though. It was a god awful place, rough as hell!

Caveat: By the way fig trees often sprout next years fruit this year.

I had one in Wisbech which fruited prolifically but they weren't nice figs. Mr Ethel uprooted it when we parted.😊

My friends nearby have been showing off about their fig tree having ten figs. I have three fig trees (Mediterranean-style garden) which had zero figs. But I peeked at the big one today and it’s suddenly developed 22. I’ve declared myself the King of the Figs. This is ridiculous. We’re in Manchester.
