Very pissed off to see dog-whistley TERFy propaganda littering our idyllic lido. If you're leaving your rubbish, know that I'll make it my personal mission to remove every bit I find. People want to swim in peace, to forget about all the shit outside the gates. Take your bitterness somewhere else.

Get some 'me time', they said.Watch Dark Shadows in the bath, they said. It's be relaxing, they said.

I like to maintain a nemesis in all important areas of my life. To be honest, one of them is probably you. (Someone once told me it was psychopathic that I did this, and long story short they're now one of them)

I used to have SUCH a crush on Chris Robshawe, and then I heard him speak. Any attraction (on my end, at least) instantly dissolved.

I have probably seen Reservoir Dogs more than any other film, but never quite like this. (It was Zapruder's first birthday yesterday, so she thinks she's ready for grown up films now)

Was just telling my 4-year old the plot of Amadeus and his only question at the end of it was 'Are there any werewolves?', which I think we can all agree is a sensible line of enquiry

On Long Lost Family Davina has just told a lady that there's a second secret sister looking for the same dad, and she did not precede it with 'Fancy another one?' and I'm going to have to call the police.

Ended up watching The Prodigy because I couldn't be fucked finding the TV switch, and I've actually enjoyed their set very much (while doing my needlepoint cat tapestry, because I'm well rock and roll)

Maybe it's finally not being exhausted all the time, but watching Glastonbury this year is the first since having a baby that I'm really, really gutted to not be there. And that baby (now an 8-year old) is asking if we can go next year and I'm thinking 'imagine if we did...'

Having a mini weepy breakdown thinking about how Chic at Glastonbury 2013 was one of the maddest, best nights of my life. I was about to get married, head over heels in love! I'd just been released from the onsite medical tent! I was so, insanely happy. And now... Life has gone very not-as-planned.

In Judith Kerr's books, an egg is basically Mog's ultimate treat. She even prefers it to fish. Maybe Archie is a Mog fan?

This is Abraham Zapruder. She doesn't have an intelligent bone in her body, but has worked out how to get past the child locks on the windows. Which is the perfect scenario on a day like today.

I did it! After weeks of promises I've finally listed my super-giant, ridiculously-huge Murder She Wrote totes. I love them, and hope you do too. Cos of the amount of fabric used and the time taken, each one is made to order. Get yours here: www.thatagnes.co.uk/shop/p/murde...

I would rank old-school Norden-era IBAOTN as one of my favourite TV shows ever. But even I, with my flair for the dramatic, never expected I'd take it to this extreme.

In all of the drama I can't believe I haven't seen any acknowledgement of the fact that both Martin Kemp AND Joe Absolom were at the Soap Awards and there hasn't been a single whisper of a mention of an ashtray from ANYONE.

three days of zero sleep, being on the verge of anxious tears (even more than usual!) and fluttery heart skips, and I think The News is officially too much for me to deal with.

It was just boring and pointless, to be honest. However, my friend, who enjoyed Asteroid City, said she thought 'it was fine'. So that's good?

Grand Budapest and Moonrise Kingdom are two of my faves ever, didn't care for Asteroid City, I would say TPS is one of the top 5 worst films I've ever seen at the cinema. It's a barely legible parody of a parody of a parody. Didn't even hate it, just felt beyond disappointed.
