By night: writing a terrible novel. By day: Awards Lead for @warceditors. by matinee: probably in a theatre audience. Or a theatre bar. Or any bar, really.

I dropped a small Seedful maple crunch bar on my kitchen floor and it shattered like a crystal chandelier. There are seeds as far as the eye can see. I bought these for my health.

The bad news is, aged 43 I still haven't learned that 17 glasses of Prosecco and a handful of festive nut mix for dinner equals feeling absolutely dreadful for breaksfast. The good news is my final meeting of the year has just been cancelled.

"Under his parents' roof, in his father's car, on the streets where he grew up, he wasn't free to be himself, to explore his dimensions, to take those mighty leaps. Not if he ever wanted to return." A #SundaySentence from Please Come to Boston by Gary Goldstein.

All aboard my third East Midlands Railway (EMR) service within a week where the seat reservations aren't working and stressed December travellers are squabbling over where they're supposed to sit. It makes for such an unpleasant start to a journey.

A character I'm reading about 'never speaks over anyone or for longer than he should' and that is so on-the-nose the exact opposite of what I'm like that I've had close the book in embarrassment and walk away.

Who knew my Christmas wish would be to Visit Leicester? I had a brilliant morning at KRIII Visitor Centre - the staff and volunteers are so enthusiastic, the cafe has sausage rolls - then my first trip to Curve for My Fair Lady - lovely singing and a decent Merlot! Marvellous.

"Always so emotional, he says, rapping Ed on the head, as if a head full of emotion makes a certain sound, like a wall full of pipes or asbestos." A #SundaySentence from Evenings and Weekends by Oisín McKenna.

Such a lovely warm feeling from all the brands I've bought things from this year emailing me their best wishes for my Christmas!

Ten years ago I made a New Year's resolution to read a book a week and it's the only one I've ever stuck to. Just finished my 52nd of 2024. Faves this year: The Bee Sting, Yellowface, Homegoing. goodreads.com/user/year_in_b… #GoodreadsYearinBooks

Merry Christmas to all those who have been providing tech support to elderly relatives or drinking since breakfast. But especially, like me, both. X

The The London Palladium Pantomime is beyond joyful this year - my stomach aches from laughing. And the costumes! And the singing! And the truncheon! Charlie Stemp topping his performance in Kiss My Sixpence! Absolutely brilliant.

Finally finished knitting this weird triangular scarf I've been dithering with all year and I just can't see what it WON'T be useful for!

If you ever get the chance to visit the Boxing Day sales at Bluewater the morning after an extremely festive four-hour lunch with Luci Furr, don't. This may be the last you ever hear from me.
