I had a number of singers I really loved at a certain point in my life, but I think that Dionne Warwick moved me more than any other.

This is a beautiful, later rendition of her song “anyone who had a heart.”

So good. (First ep, anyway!)

Incredibly nice to have a rest day. Baking and #TheBulletThatMissed by Richard Osman, and watching an episode of #TheGoodKarmaHospital on Netflix.

I made a truly lovely bread pudding today. I don’t bake anything else; I live alone and I couldn’t be responsible for the consequences. But loaves of bread get remaindered and stuck in the freezer, and I adore bread pudding, so every once in a blue moon I get out the pans and experiment. 1/2

Listening to this expert talking about how we can limit the spread of the flu. He's saying if you're sick you should be careful, but he never actually says: put on a bloody mask. Why is it okay to say you should get a vaccine but it's not okay to say, “Wearing a mask would really help gramma, kids"?

Grocery shopping is absolutely exhausting, so I put it off way too long. But it’s also frustrating. I will skip over the hallucinatory planning scheme for each aisle and go right to the checkout counter: there are never enough cashiers so they’re always in a desperate hurry. Which means— 1/2

Seems more promising than "there was an em dash it must be fake!"

And yeah, I might not be able to remember every detail about the stuff I've written, owing to my moth-brained memory, but you risk me launching into a loving 6 hour presentation if you ask me questions about a scene or character.

Employers: do not ask doctors or any health care providr for sick notes. Wastes time better spent looking after people who actually need health care. We are not part of your work attendance management system.
Pleased & amused that some docs send bills to employers directly for sick notes.

Considering Alice got pissed at a funeral of a young mother and slagged the deceased off, smashed a window and threw a brick at her mother in law, Dayveed murdered his brother in law and Ed slept with his brothers finance this absolute fury and refusing to forgive George is singular #TheArchers

I think Amber’s missing a trick not putting George on Only Fans. I’ve been watching Love After Lockup, people love sending buff blokes money. #TheArchers

How does Chris know that Alyce wouldn’t want George around Martha? I don’t think he’s ever asked her. My hunch is that she would not make that ban. #TheArchers

My new favorite conspiracy: Gordon Lightfoot sank the Edmund Fitzgerald himself in order to have an idea for a hit song.
