A spider the same size as a tarantula just scurried across my lounge floor. And now I have to move house.

Added to the fact I’m at that stage in the holiday I’m unsure what day it is, over the next 7 nights the clocks will change six times (1 hour each time). So now I’m also going to start getting confused about what time it is as well.

Day 5 (or 6, lost count) of the holiday and I’ve got sun burn. That’s an improvement on most summer holidays.

My son woke up ill in the night and couldn’t find the bathroom door in our cabin, but he managed to find the wardrobe door and throw up in there instead. All over my clothes. The cynic in me thinks it was probably on purpose.

We maybe need to stop counting how many heatwaves we’re getting in the UK and just call it ‘summer’. It’s clearly the new normal, albeit unwelcome.

The husband collected me from the tram stop (replacement bus stop) and poured me a glass of wine when we got home. What do we think he’s after?

I’d like Count Binface to be the only opponent to Farage. And win. We’d only be replacing one clown for another, but with less backhanders.

It’s nice to be able to get into bed and actually get under the duvet without feeling like being on the surface of the sun.

Rewatching Heated Rivalry (again). And the number of smoothies and protein consumed versus a lack of even mentioning douching is just not reflective of reality. Tv really is a dream world.

Now I’m a sucker for a rom com, even a pretty poor one. But I’ve just watched Voicemails for Isabelle and loved it! It’s funny and sad and has a great soundtrack. Cried my heart out at the end.
