    Just thinking about the lone conversation my mum and I have had about , in which she revealed that the sewing machines they give the queens are of a far higher quality than those on the Great British Sewing Bee. Not sure she watched the non-sewing episodes.

    I'd just really like to spend this evening squished into a corner of a pub, surrounded by my girlfriends, drinking a £20 bottle of bad warm white wine. I don't think I've found any part of the pandemic more lonely.

    What I can't shake with Sarah Everard is the fact that even now, after a year when I've barely seen anyone, the last words I say after seeing my friends are "get home safe". I can't stop imagining what it must have been to say that, and not get that text, because she didn't.

    I’m particularly looking forward to hearing all the ways various Tory MP’s did a Barnard Castle over Christmas and saw other people anyway, using excuses like “childcare” and “common sense.”
