I will always be sad that I was unable to scamp myself in to Glastonbury the year she was on the Pyramid, and I will always be glad I was at my (then) in-laws a few miles down the road and could sit in their garden, hearing her melodious voice wafting on the breeze which, ye gods, was blowing in my direction for her…

In two tweets 4 minutes apart Sia claimed (first) that she wrote the role for Ziegler then that she had brought her in when another actor was unable to handle the pressure. 

I say cook something easy and delicious (whatever you fancy) and eat it. Not exactly groundbreaking but I find it soothes me to enjoy making something and then enjoy devouring it.

Oh my dear, what miserable news.

Kelly this has blown me away. Extraordinary, honest, resonant writing.

Ah, I see you’re familiar with the golden rule:

It feels endless and relentless and miserable until, finally, it doesn't. I've been in my new place for 7 weeks (after 8 months of shenanigans getting here. I wish you the huge sigh of relief when you're in, the joy of a thousand tiny DIY tasks every weekend and patience for the inbetween.

Five more sleeps! FIVE MORE SLEEPS!

I'm in desperate need of book recommendations so you couldn't have asked a better question Cheers. My bookshelf is full of beloved favourites but I need something new to sink my teeth into...

What a dazzling bright spot! I’m so happy to hear it’s been a wonderful first meeting and I hope you're able to enjoy getting to know eachother for many many years. 

No worries, we’ll find the space. Donkey welcome always, naturally

Spoiled toddlers who get stuck and never emotionally mature beyond age 3 are exhausting and dangerous to be around. 

This is so encouraging, thank you so much for sharing. I’m the friend in your scenario (single and divorced after an abusive marriage while she is married and kidd-ed and whatnot) but she was such a rock through it all and I’ve never felt any resentment or shame in comparison to her.

Please!

I wish I could muster your level of comfort with ghosting friends. How do you do it?

Oh honey, I know.

Hooray for books and for finding treasures. Gratitude and grumbling make surprisingly comfortable friends although we don’t often let them hang out together.

I made a similar move 6 weeks ago, first time living by myself in a new city. Before I moved I would sometimes wonder, late at night (of course) whether I’d get lonely. Having always lived with people I wondered if the daily ups and downs, the little routines and events of life would feel meaningless if I wasn’t…

All the very best with your move, I moved 6 weeks ago and I hope you’re new place is as perfect for you as it can possibly be.
