Dad’s 82nd birthday today - fish & chips for lunch was his request so that’s what I treated him and Mum to.
Birthday fish & chips at the seaside!

Back home in my parents village in Wales - Gavin Henson’s pub has a spooky theme still going on and the village post box is decorated in poppies ❤️🏴
I gave Andy Burnham the benefit of the doubt because Starmer was a useless PM
During the Makerfield by-election he said we shouldn’t re-run the Brexit debate. He is now re-running the Brexit debate.
Trust gone, benefit of the doubt over.
Interesting listening to a clip of former Green Party leader discussing the issue that the party has been infiltrated by radical hard-left activists & the core message of environmentalism needs to be focused on!
That’s not really just an opinion is it - it’s a fact!

It seems, listening to the Chancellor, that anything significant is being deferred by this Labour Government to the Spending Review next year?!
🙄

“The Markets think Andy Burnham is a socialist with better TikTok” #BBCLauraK
Both the Chancellor and Kemi Badenoch on #BBCLauraK this morning. Big show!
Roti Canai was always my 1am choice at a Hawker Centre in Singapore when I lived there to help soak up the alcohol after a big night out!
I ❤️ Roti
Roti canai is so important to the Malaysia it is on UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List along w ‘Artisanal Know-How and Culture of Baguette’ from France and then ‘The Gastronomic Meal of the French’. Currently nothing from the UK

I love Strictly but I gave it a miss last night - it clashed with the Saints v Gloucester rugby match and I couldn’t be bothered to watch it on catch up, as the Halloween Strictly special is probably my least favourite week of the entire show.
💃 🕺 🎃 👻 ❌
I love Strictly and don’t think it deserves all the criticism HOWEVER tonight the theme overtook many of the dances, Shirley was unnecessarily nasty, Anton made it all about him, JoJo seemed to want to dance rather than present and there’s no need for a 3-way twist #Strictly
Another Ottolenghi Saturday night dinner - preserved lemon marinade last weekend and this time the Smokey Honey one.
Served with tomato, carrot batons and peri peri rice.
Presentation awful, taste amazing
Fire on, candles lit, heated throw adding to the cosy living room feel and it’s time for Northampton Saints v Gloucester.
Come on you Saints! 😇 🏉
#NORvGLO #GallagherPrem
So it’s the Diwali festival in Northampton and the Market Square is rocking!
I’ve got my chai and I’m soaking up the wonderful atmosphere
I learnt SO MUCH reading this article in The Economist covering how the rivalry & bitterness between MBS of Saudi and MBZ of the UAE is destabilising the region.
I nearly didn’t buy the Economist as it was £11 🥴 but it was worth every penny for that article alone.
It is slightly strange seeing #Halloween2026 and #Christmas decorations right next to each other in the Garden Centre.
We live in fast forward times!
