Still thinking about these chips we had at The Anne of Cleves in Melton Mowbray yesterday afternoon. I’d go back just for another plate.
A plate of rustic hand cooked chips.

John of John by Douglas Stuart is a ‘rich and moving novel about a father and son who live on a remote Scottish island in the 1990s, where small-town secrets and buried shame reverberate to surprising, devastating and even joyous effect’. Find out more: thebookerprizes.pulse.ly/nfoh2mwumf

“There’s nothing sadder to me than associations held together by nothing but the glue of postage stamps. If you can’t see or hear or touch a man, it’s best to let him go.” Of course I loved East of Eden. It’s always the small and insignificant seeming sentences that stick with me the most.

“It's a good job we're not having soup, or else I'd put me head in it and drown meself.” Shirley Valentine, why has it taken me so long to become acquainted with you?

£820 later and with barely any teeth left, she’s a lot less stinky and a little more drooly. The vet said despite her size (2.6kg) and her age (approx. 14) she’s very strong. Little trooper. I do miss her big snaggletooth but she seems a lot brighter.

Just putting it out into the universe how much I’d love to hear Peter Capaldi perform a cover of “Something Changed” by Pulp at his gig in Sheffield this December.

Newest bookshop in town presenting me with an impossible dilemma.

Littlest cat went to the vet today and it’s no wonder most people mistake her for a kitten in the photos I’ve shared. She only weighs 2.4kg.

Heading up to Baslow Edge at 04:45 this morning was one of the best decisions I’ve had in a good while.

The amount of people on FB being pedantic about where Benedict Wong is from is doing my head in. Eccles is a town in the City of Salford in Greater Manchester. Why is that so hard to understand? Just say congratulations on his honorary degree or, better yet, nothing at all. (Congrats, Benedict!)

A few Taskmaster contestants are performing here next year and it’s kinda tempting to see how many we can collect without leaving the town.

It appears Fi has found herself a new hobby. Today she brought home a dead shrew. If she brings back anything else she’s grounded.

Feef brought in a mouse and it ran right through the flat and under the front door into the communal hallway and into someone else’s flat and I feel terrible. Cats!

Looking at the weather forecast for next week, I’m kinda glad we’re not going to Glasgow anymore. I hate making any plans in the summer as it is - and plan to stay indoors until October - but I thought Glasgow would be safe.

Doing my own head in summarising every thought, activity and observation into three syllables and singing them to the tune of Purple Rain. “Feed the cat. Feed the ca-at.” “Need a wee. Need a wee-ee.” “Prince earworm. Prince earwo-orm.” I don’t know how to make it stop.

I’m hoping I have enough time to squeeze in House of the Dragon before the new series. Been meaning to watch it for years because Matt Smith, but James Norton joining the cast has given me a kick up the arse.

Esther Smith is making her RSC debut in The Cherry Orchard, but what do you mean I’d have to take 3-4 trains to reach Stratford-upon-Avon? It’s not even that far away!

Delighted how the Ultra Camp Snap filter picked up the pink of the cherry blossom and the ginger in the overly-affectionate cat’s tortoiseshell fur.

Enticed to visit Leicester by Athelstan George Blagden) suffering and singing songs in an Argentinian prison (Kiss of The Spider Woman) and it was a treat. The historical parts of Leicester are nice, and there’s lots of blossom.

“It's almost like stealing people's data and giving it to a hyper-intelligent AI as part of an unregulated tech monopoly was a bad thing.” The Mitchells vs the Machines was a lot more enjoyable than I expected it to be. Gorgeous animation, and Olivia Colman!

Zoe Graham is such a delight. All this talent coming out of Scotland! Go listen to “Good Girl” and “Evilin”, and then the rest of the album whilst you’re there.

My grandparents’ house is up for sale and of course I had to go have a nosy. I didn’t expect all their furniture to be as it was and see photos of them clearly still displayed in the room. It’s as if they’ve just nipped out and will be back soon, as it’d always been since I was a child.
