Watching David Beckham’s Boss ad and am concerned he’s going to have a flat battery. Why is he eating cereal? Why is he wearing undies in the shower? Why doesn’t he have curtains? I have watched the advert several times and I am still no clearer. I shall keep watching hoping for a breakthrough.

21 substitutes in today’s Asda shop. That’s about a 1/3 of my order! Next year I’m just going to send someone into the shop with some cash and say ‘Surprise me!’ 😂 (we have Turkey, wine and cheese so we’ve got the bases covered)

For the past month or so I’ve picked up a pack of pigs-in-blankets with every shop in case of a Christmas shortage. I now have 60 (piggies, not packs). But something compels me to buy more. Do I have - a) a problem or b) a heathy respect for seasonal food

I have promised my boys that I will watch all the Lord of the Rings films with them this Christmas. There is now talk of extended versions and I am full of regret.

I’m writing a Christmas novel I accidentally started on the train when I was visiting my sick mum (this is very much NOT on my to do list). Gimme your favourite Christmas book/ film tropes. I’m avoiding rich writers who buy castles in Scotland but anything else is fair game.

Managed to get home before the storm hit. Greeted by this sight at the airport. Alas, they weren’t there for me. But, for avoidance of doubt, this is how I want to be met off the plane from now on.

To the man on train listening to music without headphones - I would call you out, dude, but I’m quite enjoying listening to the banger that is ‘nothing’s gonna stop us now’ by Starship.

Staying at my mum’s this week and last night my room was full of flies - 20 -30 of the things. I immediately started looking for the dead body (as you do) but it turns out they were hibernating in the window frame. Who knew?

Why is writing a synopsis so hard? I swear it’s taken me longer to write this synopsis than it did to write the entire book.

I can hear the fog horn coming from St Anthony’s lighthouse. It really is quite eerie today. (And now I can’t stop thinking about the 80’s film!)

I was planning to go for a run this morning but made the mistake of sitting down and now the cat is on me. As we all know, you can’t move a sleeping cat so…

Oh! I’ve just discovered Starter Packs. Well that makes life a bit easier, doesn’t it? I’m coming for all the book people (In a non-sinister way. Honest)

Book recommendations please. On holiday I read five books but since I’ve been home I can’t seem to read anything!! What’s missing? It’s the sun, isn’t it? Any recommendations for something you’ve loved? Nothing heartbreaking 💔

Went for a run this morning. Smugness levels are high, bordering on unbearable. Now to write that essay I’ve been putting off 😬

Yesterday I finished reading Over My Dead Body by Maz Evans and, let me tell you, it is GLORIOUS!! I laughed, I cried, and it made me insanely happy. (Most of the books I read leave me feeling slightly anxious and worried about the state of the world if I’m honest 😂)

Yes, I know it’s too early to be thinking about Christmas but I’ve just seen this bauble and…
