Due to chaotic calendars (and lives), we're no longer able to go to @storyhouselive.bsky.social on the 19th Sept to have a night out in the kitchen with the wonderful Jay Rayner 😭 Do any of my lovely Chester friends want a pair of tickets? Would be a crying shame to waste them....

This is everything that's wrong with society. The dishwasher is right next to the sink. Less than an arms reach from both the sink, and the sign asking you to put things in the dishwasher and not leave then in the sink...

36 hours ago I lost one of Mike's shirts. I picked it up, decided it couldn't go in the same wash load as the other stuff I was doing and !poof! it disappeared.... I have just found it. In the cupboard, with the towels and the bed linen. #MenopauseBrain

Be sure you join us on Tuesday for our last talk of 2025 when @pittso.bsky.social will explore how our brains are hard-wired for stories. He'll explain how myths endure, the basis of psychology & how good campaigns work. Then he’ll ruin your favourite festive films by explaining what they all share!

I'm doing this in one week, and we want your thoughts in advance! And then for you to be there of course. I'll be breaking down why stories are important for our own psychology and what connects Christmas stories in particular. I promise laughs and insight...

We all know there's a special place in hell reserved for people who eat crunchy food in a theatre, but can we also add people that open cans at quiet suspense-filled moments, and people whose smart watches lights up like a ¿£#&ing beacon in a darkened theatre?
