At cinema to see Bridget Jones. It’s full of women “of a certain *glorious* age” laughing and chatting about Bridge like we all know her.

It underestimates the career of #MarianneFaithful to think As Tears Go By was the key moment.

Watching BBC documentary on the 7/7 bombings.
I was working that day (NHS) and remember those messages - it’s a power surge, it’s a fire - it was some time before we knew it was a terrorist attack.
Someone I care about was on the tube. I couldn’t reach them.
It stays with me to this day.
