Today in #VictorianHouse I am attacking this triffid of a Wisteria which is pulling down the guttering.

We have assumed responsibility for an old encaustic tile floor. It has been unloved and abused for years, by the look of it. How am I restoring it to its former glory? Any experts?

My niece proudly wearing her leavers’ hoodie. Two kids whose names are Fred and Rose displayed proudly together. There is absolutely no way that wasn’t deliberate.

I think the moment in Colin From Accounts when Ash knocks over her grandmother’s coffin might be the funniest moment of television I’ve seen in a long while.

TIL. Movers have wardrobe boxes which they transport your shirts and things in, on their hangers. This is mind blowing stuff.

Immigrants don’t integrate enough. Or they integrate too much. One wonders if it might not actually be the immigrants which are the issue, but the racism… Only wondering mind you.

Clearing out the loft in preparation for the move. At some point I must have thought this was worth keeping in case it increased in value. Lee Sharpe’s autograph from 1995.

Trying to prove to a solicitor that your savings are legit and not the fruits of a poisoned drug trafficking tree is much harder than it sounds. If I ever launder money I’d like to think I’d be more ambitious than an end-terrace in Wiltshire.

Moving house throws up belongings you forget you have. In my case this infant gas mask which is sinister and cool all at once.

Rufus: I’ve got £1 could you buy me a scratch card like granny? (My MIL loves them). Me: No, it’s a waste of money. Rufus: Pleeeeeeeeaaaaasse. Me: OK, but only to show you that it’s a waste of money. Rufus: Oh look, I’ve won £10.

As a member of the MCC “Priority Club” (no stupid blazer required) I have the chance to pick up Ashes tickets early. £250 for two. Plus annual membership fee. So £150 per person BEFORE travel and food/drink. Obscene.

Son’s first week at secondary school. He gets the train in each day. Today on the way home he happened to meet a friend of mine coming back from a conference in London. He comes through the door munching the freebie fruit pastilles she gave him. Not just any fruit pastilles…

Conveyancing person told me today that I would be a natural. I missed my calling. Conveyancing executive or whatever. Overseen by a solicitor. Sitting quietly requesting land registry documents and checking whether indemnities have been provided? Heaven.

I was thinking about how to refer to this. I came to the conclusion that it should be “two police officers were tragically killed by five young men, who were then killed themselves.” I understand “there is no moral equivalence” stance but there is a bit… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
