Looked outside this morning and thought there’d been a clerical error with the universe. Heard a little toddler just now ask her mum: ‘What’s that?’. It was a shadow.

Feminism is not the problem here. In the words of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ - now more than ever.

He has had 3 Valentine propositions this season. No longer in possession of his accoutrements he cannot oblige. I meanwhile have none, just acres of lovely messages from family, followers & friends. Happy Valentine’s Day, to anyone & everyone living life outside traditional coupledom. Love from us 🐾

Took a tweed dress complete with shoulder cape that I’d bought right after Traitors finished back to shop today. She asked the reason for return. I said: ‘I got it home and realised I’m not Claudia Winkelman. Big mistake’. She wrote on the return paperwork: ‘Not Claudia Winkelman. Big mistake.’

When he rests in his walking position, it’s my favourite.

You don’t. You deserve a fresh start and a new regime.

If you’d told me there’d be a day I’d pay not to come to the US, I wouldn’t have believed you. From my first job interview for MTV on Times Square in the early 90s I knew it was the place for me. l spent a couple of happy decades largely over there. Both my kids are MTV babies. But that day is now.

For anyone asking what happens to Jeff when he doesn’t travel with me, here he is having a horrible time at his dogsitter’s house.

One of the glorious things about touring is the people who crop up along the way. Beloved friend from MTV back in the day who I haven’t seen in 20 years. Tears were shed and laughs were laughed under the dartboard in the pub by the train station, beneath the shadow of the Humber Bridge. Perfection.
