Yes for everything except parboiling roasties. For some reason that must be done entirely on the hob or they don't come out properly

I'm on an interview panel today, so obviously my fringe has woken up and chosen violence.

Absolutely thrilled with the wedding photo previews so far from our wonderful photographer ❀️

I've done four lots of medical student inductions this week and one of the bits of feedback I got was "I like your vibe it was very engaging!!". Been riding that high all week

I don't know how many books I own (except that it's lots), and I do borrow heavily from various libraries too.

I can tell you that we have four different categories of bookcase: adult fiction (read), adult fiction (unread), children's, & nonfiction. Organised alphabetically by author's last name.

I went to school with a Jabez! It means "he makes sorrowful" which I always thought was kind of a mean name to give your kid.

My job interview for a uni bar asked which Friends character I was most like! Where do they get these questions from?

Thinking of starting a petition to make it illegal to have to go to work in a non-air conditioned building on a 30Β° day.

Went there as a toddler - we didn't make it into the house as I fell over and split my head open on the driveway. The staff very obliglingly drove us to A&E in their fancy old-fashioned car!

I'll never get over the betrayal of learning that Dr Kneebone is a psychologist.

The front cover of the book 'For the Ring' by Jennifer Hennessy. The tag line reads 'they're playing for keeps'. The illustration shows a tall white man with brown hair in a blue cardigan with a baseball motif on the arm. He's smiling down at a short white woman with blonde hair in a collared white shirt. She's looking back up at him.

A white woman with glasses and brown hair, wearing a long white dress with puff sleeves and a headband that says 'bride', stands next to a mirror. Across the mirror is a banner reading 'It's me, hi, I'm the bride, it's me' (a play on Taylor Swift lyrics). The woman is grinning widely and gesturing to the banner.

I will sing basically any two syllable word or phrase to the tune of 'Day Man' from It's Always Sunny, but I'm having particular fun with 'new pope'
