I’m about to embark on a five-day Center Parcs holiday with the sprog’s BFF’s family. We’ve not been away with them before. Together, we will be a melting pot of teenage girl hormones, perimenopause, adhd, and autism. Wish me luck.

We just played Uno. This was a mistake. Some people wanted to play by their house rules, other people wanted to play by the actual rules that are written on a piece of paper and marked as The Rules. There were arguments.

All those moments will be lost in time... like shears in rain... Time to dye.

The sprog and I have been watching Andor leading up to a full Star Wars rewatch. We finished last week and did Rogue One immediately. Today, mummy’s away, I’ve set up the projector in the bedroom, and we’re doing A New Hope, a movie neither of us has seen for eight years. We are both very excited.

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

The sprog is ill, so instead of doing the things we were meant to today, we’re cuddling up to watch movies. First up: Escape from New York The synopsis starts “In a dystopian 1997…” which I joked was further in the past for her than it was in the future from when the movie was made.

Ah, nice. Another excuse to delay getting my assessment.

With much media coverage of a government report that ADHD and autism are being over-diagnosed, a claim which some experts have disputed, half of Britons now believe that the conditions are being over-diagnosed Over-diagnosed: 50% Under-diagnosed: 17% About right: 17% yougov.com/en-gb/daily-...

Bought these on a whim for the sprog, I thought I’d heard her say she liked them. Turns out she does not. I don’t like things going to waste, so gave them a go and OMG! My new favourite ‘crisp’.

This morning, just as I was going out to run some errands, we could smell a worryingly funny smell. I had a sniff around and couldn’t locate it. Next door are doing some DIY, so we just dismissed it as that. This evening, I just went to put a battery pack on the charging station…

Over the past few days I’ve really enjoyed being reminded of foods I’d eaten that I’d forgotten about. Asparagus when I had a wee. Squid ink tagliatelle when I had a poo. Raw chilli when I just rubbed my eye. What fun.
