I’d totally forgotten about using a ruler to make a margin in books at school. (Just heard Bill Nighy mention it.)

I bought Bourneville Old Jamaica cos it was my grandad’s favourite (and I like the packaging redesign). Good lord, who is buying this stuff?? It tastes like tyres.

I know people complain about lighting in modern films but what is up with the sound? I saw The Sound of Music yesterday without my hearing aids and every word was clear. Today I saw A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, my hearing aid battery ran out, and I’d say I missed half the dialogue.

Dreamt I was dating a celebrity and kept putting off our first kiss to savour the moment. Woke up before I got to kiss him. Learn from my mistake. Snog that celebrity! Seize the day!

One thing that drives me nuts is buying off-peak tickets. Me: So which are the off-peak trains? Rail companies: It’s a secret.

Last night I dreamt I was in a band and the song we were playing rhymed “a tornado that blowed” with “sandals, open-toed.” Mortified that my subconscious is such a shit songwriter.

Just heard Dua Lipa on a podcast saying her album Future Nostalgia was inspired by the music she grew up listening to, which was the music her parents were into. Like Jamiroquai.

If you're a writer and you worry about repeating yourself, here's Ted Lasso's "semantic satiation" in the Spin City pilot from 1996
Screenshot of Spin City pilot script that reads: 

MICHAEL (CONT’D)
Oh, you're telling me you never bend the truth a little for a story? This is a ruthless business and you're as ruthless as I am. God, it's hard to say ruthless a lot. Ruthless, ruthless, ruthless... See? It can't be done. You want to try?

I loved asking author @keris.bsky.social lots of questions about publishing and creativity at Words and Pictures last week - but it was her thoughts about money, advances and transparency in the publishing industry that I found the most insightful: naomiandjamesjones.substack.com/p/words-and-...

Give it a rest, eh. Breaking news, my arse.
That could lead to a total change in the structure of the universe. But scientists know very little about it - including whether it would happen, when, and how long it might take.

Latest post from my mum’s suitcase. She went to Austria in ‘59 and the cinema (a lot) in ‘62. “Royal with Mo to see [Mission] to the Moon and The Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow. Both of them were stupid to say the least.” keris.substack.com/p/the-view-f...

"The view from the top was marvellous. I took some photos, I hope they turn out."
Austria. Of course.

The Year of LESS, not “yes”. I should’ve waited until I was more awake. But also I’m reading Birdy Arbuthnot’s Year of ‘Yes’ by @joannanadin.bsky.social and it is delicious.

The teen just asked me “What’s the point of pyramids?” I said “Right there at the top.” Turned out, he actually said ‘periods’ but we both cried laughing anyway.
