Volume knob. Uxorious, retired, Northumbrian and bookish. I read dead people. Wilfully flippant. Stand with no man against women. Ho/hum.

One of my wife’s tats, in suffrage colours. She rocks.

It's really weird that the people usually so obsessed with hounding one beloved children's author for the tiniest imagined moral infraction are largely silent about another beloved children's author facing prosecution for sexual assault and paedophilia...

Roman’s come back from school with new class photos in which he has a cheerless rictus smile like it’s been drawn on an apple. His mam is horrified. “What’s this? That’s not your normal smile!” Roman: “It’s my NEW normal smile.”

Do all the men defending Russell Brand even realize they’re telling on themselves? You’re defending the indefensible. He had a trial. He was found guilty. Even more women are coming forward. We are done being silent. Shame is changing sides.

Sex workers can be r*ped. Wives can be r*ped. Girlfriends can be r*ped. Previous consent does not create permanent access.

Another Quiche rhapsody from Roman tonight. He’s recorded a video message for his mam asking her how come she doesn’t even know about quiche? 🤷

Put about a stone on since this time last year. After my annual check at the GP they suggested I join the Monday “Walk & Talk.” I’m generally quite active - 18 mile walk last Friday, go to the gym, etc - I’m just “overfuelling”, ie, eating everything, all the time.

I thought it was worth joining the “Walk & Talk” to introduce some regular accountability, which might help me manage my greed. Checked the Facebook page before I went and today’s walk had been cancelled. Apparently they are remapping the walks to include refreshment stops 🤔

Been reading Wolf Hall, so thought I might give the TV show a watch. It’s very good, but watching Bing with Roman these last few years makes it quite hard to take Mark Rylance as seriously as I assume I’m meant to.

Top marks to The Tipsy Bean in Ashington! Popped in for a coffee after picking up some shopping, and a team member came out from behind the counter to give a me a bookmark to use in place of the packet from my biscuit. Exceptional! 👍😊☕️ #thetipsybean #ashington
