Enormous fun at yesterday's press launch for 'Beauty & the Beast' at Bath's Theatre Royal. We laughed A LOT - but mostly at Nick Wilton getting stuck in his own vehicle. www.theatreroyal.org.uk/events/beaut...

I squandered data to the cloud That eats wifi o'er vales and hills, When all at once I'm disavowed, A host of online leaks and spills; AI's awake, it starts to thrive, Fattening itself on Google Drive.

A bright and beautiful butterfly landed in my open palm this morning. The moment brought me so much joy and appreciation I did the only thing you can do if you're happy and you know it.

Finishing a book you've truly loved can leave you feeling somewhat bereft. Ferdia Lennon's brilliantly original 'Glorious Exploits' made me gasp, gulp, and guffaw. I shall be thinking about it for quite some time. Highly recommended.

If you enjoy movies with a brilliant plot twist in the final few minutes I can heartily recommend Tinker Tailor Soldier Colin Firth.

Last night I asked my husband what tv programmes he was subjected to by his parents, at home back in the 80s. He said, and I quote, "I sat through every episode of Kenco."

My village scarecrow trail has outdone itself this year. With a theme of 'Famous Duos', this stunning depiction of PJ & Duncan will scar local children for years. Bravo!

I'm delighted the Lionesses won and I'm saddened by the passing of Ozzy Osbourne - but there is something very wrong in our society when the national news leads with a football story first, the passing of a musician second, and the deliberate starvation of innocent children third.

Impossible to recommend and applaud 'The Assembly' enough. Life-affirming tv with an abundance of authenticity and humanity. Best thing on the box in a long, long time. 👏👏👏 #theassembly #itv

TV idea: VIRGO Virgo is an unconventional homicide detective from Lancashire played by John Virgo. Grumpy face/heart of gold, this guy doesn’t follow the Miss rules. Has a terrier called Dennis. Catchphrases: "Where's the murder weapon going?" & "Is there any DNA?" "There's *always* DNA." #Snooker

So, farewell then WH Smith - home of my first Saturday job on the typically random 'Records and Pens' counter. The day a customer demanded, "How long does an ink cartridge last?" remains a particular highlight.

Oh man. Gene Hackman. As complete a screen actor as there's ever been. Everyman or President, he brought truth, weight, and humanity to each role; you couldn't take your eyes off him. A giant.

Some people have, say, twenty countries they want to visit before they die. I can't even think of twenty friends I'd like to see before I pop off. (This is a joke. I've scraped together a list of twenty-one, three of which are dogs.)

Went with dad to visit mum in the nursing home today. They met as teenagers, chatting over the hedge that divided Trowbridge Boys and Girls schools - a love that has lasted over 60 years. This photo makes my heart happy. #Dementia #ForACure
