Oh it IS royal icing, oh thank God! (Would not bake it, I don’t think, due to literally only having eaten these at birthday parties in 1988)

“I don’t approve of calling food naughty. We’ve got to take pleasure where we can in life.” Not to put presenters against one another, but I’ve never forgotten Prue saying something was “not worth the calories” so Nigella saying this - along with familiar bakes! - is like a normality reset #gbbo

I love them all at the moment and I’m so glad they’re getting a chance to do classic and familiar bakes for once with their own twists. It’s just such a nice way to let them show off!

Years ago, I was walking home late one night, and a drunk guy was harassing me - trying to get me to go home with him, pushy sex comments, etc. After a few mins, his mate turned to him and said, firmly but not aggressively, "MATE. leave her alone, yeah?" And he did. I think about him all the time.

I went to a trade Christmas show last month which had a beautiful chess set where you could play against an AI, and it would move the pieces for you. About £400 and looked like magic. (There is no point in my doing this; my brother and I spent years playing to check without realising.)

Chess is fascinating. I listened to the audiobook of The Queen's Gambit earlier this year, having loved the TV show (both so good!) and the film Queen of Katwe (plus the musical, obv). And Ali Hazelwood wrote a brilliant YA novel, Check & Mate, about teenage players, which is utterly engrossing.

Regardless of when we bloody got it, thank you, driving an electric car has improved so much in just two years, especially with the advent of charging cables you can hook up to a regular plug socket. I have very happily driven to the middle of nowhere without range anxiety as a result.

Just read this out to my husband very earnestly saying what a good thing we'd got rid of our old diesel car in time, and he replied, "Wow, yes, thank goodness, we were only two years in time," and I don't care for his tone, actually.

I used to love and respect her writing and then she became a transphobic bloodhound as and now, inevitably, they’ve moved onto ADHD etc. A classic! I’m interviewing someone about adhd tomorrow and looking forward to talking about this total bollocks. (Aided by my own meds and systems, thankfully.)

I spent an almost absurd amount of time researching this last year before returning to my first choice: a Nordace backpack. It’s been absolutely invaluable, to be honest!

A totally resplendent dragon made from driftwood with great big clawed feet and a forked tongue and a very proud bearing. It is in Angle, Pembrokeshire in Wales.

I am so pleased to hear about the crowdfunder. I started playing it to my husband today and he was doing proper full body lols while driving, which was faintly troubling. We will both be thrilled to back series 2.
