An amazing team to get us on air this morning. And turned out to be quite a feisty show. Good fun all the same.

I never really get that political on this forum. However I believe now is the time for the return of Coffee Cream(e) chocolates in Cadbury Roses. So if anyone in high office wishes to take up this matter you can be assured you have my total and unwavering backing.

Just made @nigella.bsky.social Spaghetti with Marmite. Oh my, one of the quickest, tastiest bowls of comfort I’ve ever concocted. Next time a little crusty bread to mop up the sauce. But on my own tonight, so licked bowl clean.

In the battle between the automated Elizabeth line doors at Bond Street and a Primark carrier bag the doors will always win.
Currently sat next to a shopper debating if she could go back one stop to retrieve half a bra and a pair of knickers

Full blast music and an Indian banquet. That’s one way of guaranteeing a table seat for one on GWR. The rest of the carriage is seething. Lots of tuts and shaking of heads.

Regents Canal, sat on a bench. Woman next to me: “Oh look at that, in the rushes, it’s a Mandarin duck. You don’t get many of them in London”.
Couldn’t bring myself to say it was an empty packet of Walkers Sensations crisps.
(Thai sweet chilli in case you were wondering)

10 years ago, up at Elstree. Not for Enders (although HAD to visit to the square) but for a General Election.
It’s the one where Lib Dem’s vote collapsed ending the coalition. Lost count of the number of times we’ve been to the polls since.

So, tomorrow I start my final two cycles of chemo. Not as intense as the previous treatment and this time, I know what to expect. It’s daunting but actually I just want to get it done.
