- It’s objectively ridiculous - big budget Scooby Doo for grownups - but High Potential is so my now-not-very-secret half hour of weekly escapism. 💅 If you grow up on Moonlighting, it’s probably inevitable…
- It’s not The Roches - missing the soaring high and tingling low notes - but it is sweet 👌
- Not sure my brain is wired the same as everyone else’s re: Seven Dials… An absolute horror imo 🙃 Some good performances (none of which were HBC. Yep I said it), some stunning scenery (want to go to Somerset now), but a lousy script?! Sadness, sadness… (I’m sure I’ll recover 😜)
- 5 jobs I’ve had: Usherette (Swindon MGM 💅 🔦) Assistante Anglaise 🇫🇷 Nanny (brief; never to be repeated) Assistant Editor 📚 Beach shop café flip-flop/wetsuit/ice-cream seller & waitress
- Int lichen brilliant? (Channeling Paul Whitehouse for unknown reasons - we don’t question the muse 🥛)
- You get a different kind of graffiti in Waitrose loos…
- Watched this yesterday (a bold move on that specific date with my specific family history but I’m fearless in that way - mwahaha) and loved it. Renate Reinsve was so compelling in The Worst Person in The World and she was equally good in this. Thought Elle Fanning was ace, too* 💫
- Ah, gallows humour, my old friend… Remembering my mum today. 17 years - where’d they go?! Love to all who have lost someone pivotal in an untimely fashion. Effing sucks. ❤️🩹

- Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence ‘As a rule, the specialist’s is a purely masculine mind, an intellect to which fecundity is an alien and unnatural process; it is therefore an especially ill-adapted tool for giving rebirth to a foreign spirit.’ 👀
