My dear departed nanna used to stay silent between 12-3pm on Good Friday because she said that was when himself was dying on the cross. Did other people’s grandparents do this? We used to ring her on purpose during those hours. She’d just pick up the phone & say nothing 😂😂

Dogs have the right idea about mornings. They get up, do their wees, have a nibble and a few pets, and then go back to bed. Legends.

Well, Kylie Jenner’s 21st last night looked like some craic. Enjoyed Kim surreptitiously showing that Caitlyn was there, Kourtney and Scott sitting together, Kanye was enjoying himself etc. This is a niche tweet.

Really struggling with social media this week. Part cesspit, part people trying to do better (& often being torn asunder for it), part “funny” eejits not reading the room. Nobody is perfect, very few people are performing, most people are scared because 2020 is a dumpster fire.

Selena Gomez’s doc #MyMindAndMe is a difficult, fascinating watch. It’s weird relating to a global superstar on any level, but I did. She’s warm and intelligent and wise from all she’s been through. That generation of triple threat child stars has always been asked too much of.
