The cat is at the back door growling at the rain. Think she’s forgotten what it is. It’s been a while.

Middle aged and hot. Not in a good way. Woke lefty. Chronic overthinker. Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think.
So my friend’s trans son is supposed to go in the ladies toilets now is he? Sure the transphobes will be delighted. #r4today
Fab afternoon tea with Helen, who you may remember from Twitter.
Once again for those at the back: ‘Don’t speak ill of the dead’ is about your great aunt Elsie, who liked a long gin with a short tonic at elevenses, and blew your inheritance money betting on the horses. Speaking ill of absolute monsters is a moral obligation, actually.
Ffs. Just because someone is kind to you doesn’t make them a kind person. Look at how they treat everyone. Not just you. Important rule in life, let alone journalism. #r4today
About to see The Cure with my brilliant daughter Lucy and good friend Stuart. 2nd time seeing them for me and Lucy, 101st for Stu!
Happy Friday. I’m in Nimes for the weekend with my eldest. The Cure are playing in this amphitheater this evening. We’re not seeing them until Sunday, but we’re going to listen tonight with a Hugo spritz or two from just outside.
Been watching early Neighbours. Bit perturbed how hot Jim Robinson is now I’m middle aged. Even more perturbed that I’m too old for mid 80’s Jim Robinson.
Walked to the gym today for my class because I’m trying to make sensible choices. As a reward, I’ve stopped on the way home for a cheeky solo cocktail. There’s only so much sensible a person should attempt on a Monday.
Can we not have Wayne Rooney doing Chris Mason’s job? Just for today? Please #r4today
Michael Gove still on speed dial then? Oh good. #r4today
Watching Trump try to get into the World Cup photo, then shuffle off because no-one was paying attention to him, was the perfect ending to this evening.
Man of the match was undoubtedly Wayne Rooney. Who knew?
Fucking ‘ave that Argentina, you bunch of twats! Well played Spain. I’m exhausted
I’ve never been this invested in a World Cup match that didn’t involve England. Come on Spain, finish these fuckers off.
Look. If neither of you bunch of fuckers can be bothered to win it in regulation time then you forfeit the match and the cup goes to the third place team.
Hydration break so I’m raising a glass to Wayne Rooney tonight. Legend.
Absolutely outrageous that half time was 30 minutes. On the other hand, we’re just back from far away hospital visiting so it means I’m home in time for the second half. #worldcupfinal
Kemi Badenoch repeatedly calls Andy Burnham a people pleaser. This from a black woman courting votes from misogynist racists. #bbclaurak
Jacob Rees-Mogg calling somebody else condescending is quite something. This is the man who said that Grenfell victims lacked common sense. Prick. #bbclaurak
Oh good. More pointless speculation about what may or may not happen under Andy Burnham. Letting Rees-Mogg out during daylight to add his thoughts really is the icing on the cake. #bbclaurak
Looking forward to The White House's chilled reaction when England reveal their 'Trump is a corrupt paedophile' banner later. #r4today
Absolutely not a fan of SAW, but I Heard a Rumour is glorious #totp
Good that some of the US broadcasters are taking away Trump’s oxygen. The BBC could learn from this. Farage’s tantrum last week should never have been shown live and in full. #r4today
Trying to have a bit of a sort out and found my iPod classic. Blew my mind when I bought this that I could carry so much music around with me.
Tired of the fact that a single post threatening Farage is prioritised by BBC when women MPs get daily threats of rape and murder. Any investigations? Arrests? News coverage? Farage was losing traction- victimhood is the next strategy of a desperate grifter; a tried and tested right wing trope.
