I was lying in the garden doing The Guardian quick crossword earlier and 5 down was "revered remnant", 4 down was "small rhodedendron". I got the two clues mixed up and spent the best part of half an hour trying to think of a "revered rodent".

The only one I could think of was Stuart Little.

It has been a long summer. I have even been camping, which I swore I would never do again after the Duke of Edinburgh award. I ate a Pot Noodle. If you knew me, you would be aware of what significant point in my life that was. I have spent an awful lot of time in various reaches of East Anglia (though not Essex. Never Essex.)

I hope that it snows so much tomorrow that I am excused from all of my responsibilities, but not so much that I can't go to Paris on Friday.

Every day, I buy a Kit Kat, not for want of chocolate, but because they promise me on the packet that I have a 1 in 7 chance of winning another free one, and I like those odds. So every day, I buy a Kit Kat and don't win a free one. The other day, I made Saskia buy one and she won. The very first time. So now, she has free chocolate and I am nearly ( Read more... )

Satlin was really ugly. Why did he always look like he was dressed in pajamas?
