I headed to Wales to dance at dawn with @charlottechurch at @dreamingretreat and now spend about 94% of my working day wishing I was back there. Interview with Charlotte on the link, review of the retreat as a screenshot below….

@taskmaster It’s also the first time he’s really watched ads. “Mum should we get some of that - it’s 10 times better than bleach. Mum, I don’t like my smile either. ” 🫤.

Watching bleeped @taskmaster with the seven year old. My favourite part is when he tries to guess the swear words. “Did they say ‘flippin heck’? Did they say massive poo’?.

I’ve never actually had a blue tick on Twitter, but I think now might be the time to say how much I’m going to miss mine when it disappears at midnight, just so everyone assumes I am very, very famous and important and blue tick verified. Which I am. Obvs.

If anyone is wondering how my Mother’s Day panned out, my 7 yr old invited me to watch him play tennis in our local park and I spotted a red kite. “Wow, I’ve never seen one of those here!” I said as it SHAT ALL OVER MY HEAD.

Has Twitter decided that all it wants to show you is tweets from newly bereaved parents and families - or is it saving that joy just for me? Every time I open the app the top tweet is something totally devastating.

Six yr old just went into his Dad’s edit suite and saw he’s working on the #UFC today. "Is that martial arts and crafts?”.

My six year old has just tried to bribe me with a tenner to get some screen time. Seems like a good deal to me.

In less ranty news, I’ve also had a press release of pressie ideas for new mum Princess Beatrice. It includes a perineum spray. For use during the royal wee (my gag, not theirs. But they can have it for free).
