I unironically, unashamedly and unapologetically love Britain's Got Talent. Been a tough weekend in our house and BGT came back just at the right moment. Brings my whole family together and is joyful. I have happy tears in my eyes once every episode. May it last forever.

Healing power of shared experiences. One of our dogs, Clarence, passed on Friday. Family devastated but we're sticking together. We enjoyed BGT last night, I did an F1 breakfast today (well done Red Bull) then the Marathon. Really helps to have something to come together around.

Every time I read about tomorrow's 'cosmic event' I hear it in the voice of Rodney Trotter.

It's funny to see brands using hashtags in their TV commercials in 2024. Nobody was ever going to use your corporate hashtag even when hashtags were a thing which now they barely are. Very 2012 vibes.
