Lewis Hamilton says women are the most beautiful things on the planet and therefore should be grid girls. I think giraffes are the most beautiful things on the planet and my campaign for grid giraffes starts here. #gridgiraffes #f1

Me: Are you singing Disco 2000?!
She bloody was. We've since spent the morning dancing around to @welovepulp.
My little 90s-kid self is so proud.

A real #Glastonbury moment ✈️
The Red Arrows flew over the festival during Pulp's song Common People.

Learnt today that you can type any nonsense into Google followed by "meaning", and AI will assume you're searching a well-known human phrase and frantically come up with what it thinks it could mean.

My son, who has recently been sleeping until after 6.30am for the first time in his life, has of course chosen today to get up an hour early. Clock change tonight is going to be a car crash.

I’ve been sitting on this news for a while. I love being an author but I feel it’s time for a change. So…I’ve decided to become a film star! It’s something I’ve wanted to do since being a little girl and I’m so excited for my new venture! I hope you all enjoy my new film 🙏
