Loving Nigella on Bake Off. Was nice to be reminded about Iced Gems that I sneakily ate in the reference library at the former South Shields Central Library while reading budgie books. Still, to this day, one of the naughtiest things I’ve ever done.
A picture of the image on my telly when one of the clever bakers had finished their Iced Gems, small circles of shortbread with multicoloured texted royal icing on the top. Delicious.

Hey guys, does anyone know what ‘envelope gravy’ is? Photo taken in a Real Canadian Superstore in Toronto. I previously assumed it was your arse crack when you’ve had a wet fart. ‘Oh no, I have envelope gravy!’ sort of thing.
It’s a big blue sign hanging over Aisle 8 in a supermarket. It lists these things: Cake Mixes
Sugar & Spices
Envelope Gravy
Rice Crackers
Shake N' Bake

Hey Canada. Specifically Torontonians. Did anyone email?
It’s a notice pinned to a post. It has a QR code on it and it says ‘are you ugly? Email me. I have questions’

Today is my 22nd comedy anniversary! Thank God for divorce. For writing. For laughing. For Kate Fox for getting me on a stage the first time. Thanks to everyone who has ever booked me, everyone who’s laughed, everyone who’s liked or commented or shared a clip, who’s bought a ticket… 1/2
I’m on stage at the Birmingham Glee club at their new material gig, Rough Works. I have short blonde hair and I’m wearing a black speckled dress. I’m holding notes and laughing.

Just booked myself a massage so if you don’t hear from me for a while I’ll either be super relaxed or dead.
It’s a heavily graffitied wall and door. The door is open and there are dark stairs beyond. Someone has painted the word SPA and an arrow on the wall and SPA on the inside (hmmm) of the door. It looks fucking terrifying.

Hi from my holiday
It’s my shadow on the ground. In the foreground are my actual jeans and trainers and then my shadow on the path. There’s grass off to the side. I have two bags. This often happens if I take a small handbag. I end up with a canvas bag for all of the rest of the stuff. My shadow hair is a bob and my shadow hand is waving.

I could put these on every meal. What is your downfall? What could you put on every meal?
It’s a big old tub of Vadasz fresh pickles - red onion. If an excess of them didn’t make my stomach shout and arsehole cry, I’d eat ONLY them.

I think if I didn’t do comedy, I’d like this job please. Biscuit be-JENGA-rer.
It’s 2 massive jars of biscuits at an airport lounge. Left one is 3/4 full of small shortbread rounds and the one on the right is 1/2 full of bourbons. But they’ve all been stacked in such a pleasing way that it’s definitely someone’s job.

I’ve been doing some more colouring in. I find it soothes my brain. I’m going for patterns at the moment. Small sketchbook means I get the satisfaction of finishing more often. Gary has named this one ‘Your interesting friend’s rug’
It’s a pattern. I will do my best to describe it. It uses these colours: pink, light pink, coral pink, yellow, red, lavender, apricot. It’s all straight lines coming in at a diagonal from each corner. It shows a little perspective and depth and because I did the corners first and gradually worked inwards, the depth is in the centre. The colours are kind of in an order but I was half watching Men in Black at the time and working by lamp not big light, I sometimes got the order wrong. But I like that. I like there not really being any mistakes. Just going with it. The sketchbook is 12cm by 12cm because I love a square and I like finishing things.

Thank you for watching Late Bloomer on E4 last night. Some people have been asking about a new tour. There are no plans for another tour at the moment but if you join my mailing list, you’ll hear any future news first In the mean time, look at the size of my first home grown cucumber. Proper girthy
It’s the wooden bench in my greenhouse. Above it is my left hand, palm almost flat, holding a bloody huge cucumber. Not massively long but thick. I feel proud to have grown this from a very small plant by best friend gave me. The tomatoes are doing great too. Now I just need to know how to grow bread and Crème Eggs and I have all the food groups covered. Also in the picture is my denim gardening apron. I get very clarty* when gardening. 

*clarty is Geordie for filthy, muddy, sticky.

It’s the Late Bloomer poster image. Green background and me in a yellow dress with pink books on it. I’m resting one hand under my chin and the other hand under first hand’s elbow. That makes more sense than you think. In Yellow is my name and in white, it says Late Bloomer. Under that, in white: on E4 tonight at 10pm.

Today’s post therapy treat. What was your last one? A glass of water (feel dehydrated) and a Wispa Duo. As my good friend Andy Robinson said, one for now and one for a bit after now.
Terracotta coloured foot stool and on it is a pint glass a little over half full of water. Beside it is a Wispa Duo which if you don’t know is two slightly smaller than usual Wispas (lovely chocolate bar) in the same packet which in the adverts is apparently ‘One for now, one for later’. NOPE

We’ve been gallivanting again. This time Gary & I went to New York before his tour starts up again. Photo: I didn’t know you could do portrait mode & selfie mode at the same time. Enjoying the results. Make up: I think my best make up is ‘put it on ages ago & did stuff that made me a bit sweaty’.
It’s a photo of Gary and I in Times Square. I’m on the left in a grey T shirt (actually a Rick Astley tour t shirt) with gold necklace, clear framed glasses and remnants of red lipstick. I’m glowy. Let’s call it that. It’s very flattering, sweat, isn’t it? Gary is on the right in a bright blue Spaghetti Junction T shirt named after the Birmingham road system as opposed to like a great Italian restaurant. Behind us, all blurry as intended, are the bright lights and bright colours of Times Square. It’s one of my favourite places in the world.

I’m away at the moment in my array of wonderful Cub and Pudding dresses and my £10 service station WHSmith sunglasses. Hope you’re having a good August.
It’s me. Head and shoulders. Greenery behind. I’m sitting on a bench. I’m at the age when I’m relieved when I see a bench. My hair is windswept and blonde. My sunglasses are big and dark and cheap. My dress is red and white gingham check and lovely and floaty and pretty. There’s a cross body bag strap across my shoulder. Important to have hands free at all times. For ice creams and stranger dog stroking and photo taking.

18 years ago today, I won the Edinburgh Comedy awards Best Newcomer award for my show Sarah Millican’s Not Nice. Face of pure joy. 1/?
It’s me in 2008. I’m younger. That’s how time works. And thinner. That’s how time works. My hair is mousey (original colour) and shoulder length. I’m wearing an orange top and also, not in the photo, really nice new jeans. My face is full of joy. This was taken as I walked off stage.

My show Bobby Dazzler (2023) is on Channel 4 tonight and 4Seven tomorrow. Really hope you enjoy it. If you don’t have those channels, you can watch it any time via my website. Photo and poster design by Matt Crockett Graphics by Gary Williams Dress by Zuri
The image is from my Bobby Dazzler poster. It’s a golden background and I’m standing in the best possible dress. It’s a Zuri dress with a swirly multicoloured patterned. I have my hands on my hips and I’m laughing. My hair is long, blonde and shiny. The problem when you call your show ‘Bobby Dazzler’ is that you have to look like a Bobby Dazzler. For those not in the know, a Bobby Dazzler  is a person or thing that is remarkably fine, brilliant, attractive, or excellent.
Underneath is some text in a red and blue box that says:
Bobby Dazzler
Channel 4 - Friday 21st 11:05pm

I’m fairly new to gardening but I think my dildo plant is coming on a treat.
It’s a decent sized cucumber. The size of a fat courgette. And it’s still on the plant but sitting comfortably in my hand. I’m proud. But still have a dirty mind.

Just had a brilliant 4 days away in wonderful Stockholm with my love @garydelaney.bsky.social. Great food, loads of walking, incredible museums and handholding in the sunshine. Love it. This is post curry, mid walk back.
It’s me and Gary (left to right) and we look very happy. There’s a darkening but not dark yet blue sky behind us. And some buildings and a fence. I’m wearing my grey Jaws T Shirt (current favourite) and my cross the body bag and a gold necklace. My face is glowy (sweaty) and my lipstick a bright red. I’ve stopped wearing powder as I’ve decided I like to look alive. Gary is in a checked shirt. Great meal, day and trip.

It’s a dessert. It is. Honestly.
It’s a posh pudding. Round, pink with a hole in the middle. It’s a strawberry and cream soufflé. They spoon a hole in the middle to pour more gloop in. My friend said it looked like a flesh light. She’s not wrong.
