If anyone needs a pick me up I can confirm that “Summer Sunshine“ by The Corrs wipes out roughly 30% of weather-induced misery.

I’ve been running three times this week and I’ve gotten soaked every single time. I’m beyond sick of this weather.

Really looking forward to reading this!

You agree with all my excellent opinions!

Just read an Instagram carousel warning people that they shouldn’t aspire to have a relationship like Cathy and Heathcliff because it’s abusive. Do we really need to spell this stuff out for people? I’m so confused.

Just seeing lots of takes about class and race from people who I assume haven't seen it yet!

The “Wuthering Heights“ discourse is already slightly unhinged and the film isn’t even out yet.

Just saw “Send Help” and Rachel McAdams truly is one of Hollywood’s greatest treasures. A delightfully entertaining (and hilarious) film that deserves a lot more attention than it’s getting.

I have to hand it to Taylor Swift, the Opalite music video is great – charming, sweet and funny in equal measure, and Domhnall Gleeson looks delighted with himself.

That’s what parkrun (and running more broadly) is all about - crushing the competition!

Anyway, I got what I deserved at this morning‘s parkrun – my result wasn’t registered correctly so I’m just listed as Unknown and I have no official time. A humbling experience.

I’ve been battling for a while to get to a sub 20 minute 5km. Still a bit off but getting closer all the time thanks to parkrun, which turns me into a horribly competitive person who is intent on beating everyone else.

That’s so grim Emily, really sorry to hear that. Totally unacceptable behaviour from the publication.

I know talking about the weather is boring but Christ, I am so unbelievably sick of this weather.

Haven’t watched Bake Off in years but you can guarantee I’ll be back and watching religiously now that the queen of adjectives and gays who cook is joining the fold.

Absolutely. It had a huge impact on me (saw it on Saturday) and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. Fair enough if people see it and don’t like it, but some people seem to have a problem with it based on a synopsis or things they’ve heard.

Can’t quite believe I’m saying this, but there’s the smallest, tiniest stretch in the evenings now.

So cute and so majestic!

Finally saw Oh, Mary! in London and it did not disappoint. Mason Alexander Park is an absolute star. I laughed so hard and left feeling weirdly emotional, and now all I want to do is go and see it all over again.

I’m very sorry to say that, in the end, Seán didn’t pass go, he did NOT collect $200.

Is Kylie getting Christmas number one a sign that the universe is healing? Only time can tell.

Wow, she’s really coming down hard on Ryanair by demanding they *checks notes* take the Guardian’s Christmas business quiz.

I can’t wait for this dehumidifier to complete our family!

I say this as a huge fan of Taylor’s music. I really wanted this to be good but it’s hard to see how somebody as talented as her has come up with an album as tepid as this.

I hate to say it but the jubilant response to Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl has baffled me. I think it’s possibly the worst album of her career. Bar a small handful of good tracks (Ruin the Friendship, Opalite) it’s so mundane and the lyrics have rarely been worse.

What a night, she won’t forget. Louise is just a former usherette.

There’s something so funny about Independent Ireland saying they’ll nominate Maria Steen for the presidency because the people of Ireland “deserve the right to choose”. I wonder what Maria thinks about people having the right to choose?

I do actually, but I also think Eurovision is particularly significant given the way Israel has used it as a political tool to whitewash genocide. I’m sure they’ve done that in sport too but I think it’s been more pronounced at Eurovision.

I hope the EBU realises that they have a huge decision on their hands here. If Israel is allowed to participate at the expense of other countries, I truly don’t see the contest ever recovering. It’ll shatter trust forever among fans, and that trust is already broken after last year’s fiasco.
