Shot of the mike on empty stage at Queen's Hall Edinburgh with the back drop of Sara Pascoe's I am a Strange Gloop sign.

Had a lovely time at Sara Pascoe tonight, laughed so much. Also reaffirmed my life choices on no kids. Don't get me wrong, I love kids. But I love tigers and I don't want one of them running about my livingroom either.

Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around £10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalamet’s films. Just saying.

I used to think of myself as a very good judge of character until I was recently reminded of a meeting I had with Peter Mandelson in 1989, after which I turned to a colleague and said "What a nice man."

Robert Duvall in a black suit, white shirt, and black tie. He is smiling against a gray background. It's 2014.

Robert Duvall was a kind and gentle man. He had that crinkle in his smile that made you think he had some precious secret, all his own.
Rest well, Robert.

Me at Lyceum Edinburgh in front of Mike Wozniak's stage backdrop. Stage is lit green. Sign black with white writing that says his name and The Bench. It's up lit with beige lights. Sounds weird but looks nice.

Some serious sleuthing tonight & still don't know who did it! 🤦🏼‍♀️That or I'd not want to spoil it for anyone. If you've tickets to Mike Wozniak's new tour you are in for a real treat. Funny!

Chilli Jam Although I call this chilli jam, I don't mean by this that it's the sort of thing you'd spread on your toast at breakfast (though smeared inside a bacon sandwich, it could be a real help one hungover ...

Chilli Jam/ Jelly is a nigella.com favourite (as you’ll see from the lovely comments below the recipe) though that’s not the only reason it’s #RecipeOfTheDay. It’s also the perfect condiment for Christmas cold cuts, as well as making for an excellent present! www.nigella.com/recipes/chil...

I wasn't prepared for this. 20 years no knocks, this year some very confused kids left with lion bars as it was all we had in the house. I don't think they thought it was a treat. Plan b was apples so they need to count their blessings!

I know. I would be the same but tomorrow is a new day and you will have a better day. No one is perfect and this one think does not reflect you and your capabilities. It's a little pot hole in a very long road. You got this!

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
