m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 29/09/2026Finished reading Michelle Zauner’s memoir Crying in H-Mart (2021). A fairly brutal telling of what it is like to rapidly lose a parent, and a very on-the-nose holiday read for a trip where we scattered my mother-in-law’s ashes. A thumbs up, if you’re in the emotional headspace. 001

m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 16/09/2026referee talk is and always has been boring. the culture shift towards it being the main topic of debate has been very disheartening to experience. just say they’re a wanker and move on! 050
m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 16/09/2026felt like they got 15 minutes into writing it and thought - that’ll do. impressive lack of red herring tbf to them 010
m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 16/09/2026the one i’ve seen & paid attention to this series was the snooker episode - if the plot of only that aspect was the whole episode, it would’ve lasted 5 minutes 110
m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 16/09/2026our flat is pretty much murder mysteries 24/7 and i could not care less about them, so this being on instead of the 800000th repeat of a midsomer murders was a bonus. if you want a defensible position: it is a step down, but one that shows how good the first series actually was! (never saw it) 130
m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 15/09/2026have you got a little glass of red wine with dish soap in, and some cling film over the top with fork holes in? maybe a slice of orange in there too 200
m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 14/09/2026my own father being a jobbing local thief (had his occupation as ‘slate merchant’ on my birth certificate as he was robbing lead from church roofs at the time) absolutely put in the shade here, my word 020
m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 14/09/2026this conversation has reminded me it is time for my annual trip to the _cool_ barbers, rest of the year it is just a bit off the top and sides at the turkish-style place near me. thanks tomsy. 020
m durrant @matthewdurrant.com · 14/09/2026do enjoy the mental image of you paying £40 at the cool barbers though 110
