I need to google some stuff today for the second book in my spy series, which may result in me ending up on a MI5 watchlist myself.

Anyone else worried that they'll give in to their intrusive thoughts, look directly at the eclipsing sun and singe their retinas? Or is it just me?

Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast is one of my weekly treats but I've DNFed the latest episode with Anne Lamott due to its extreme earnestness. I like to think it's because earnestness doesn't translate to a British audience, but maybe it's just me.

I was very brave and used the phrase "cognitive dissonance" in a conversation for the first time and I think I even got the meaning right.

The two English Literature A level texts that stand out and have made me go clammy just thinking about them are Anglo Saxon Attitudes by Angus Wilson and The Critical Sense by James Reeves. Dull, ponderous, verbose. And yet, I can still remember big chunky quotations from them both!

Once more, I'm staring at a list of names in my Notes app, which I add to regularly, trying to come up with a hot but not naff name for a MMC. I think, at this stage, I have exhausted all possibilities. *calls him Uriah, job done*

I’ve just, firmly but politely, asked someone to stop yapping on the phone in the quiet carriage. They immediately complied. I feel like a God.
