I saw this (in Morrisons) and thought of you.

A can of beer called Moose and Pooch. The illustrated label shows the moose driving Starsky and Hutch’s Ford Gran Torino with its antlers sticking out of both side windows. In the passenger seat is a small dog.

I subscribed to Office 365, just for Word, because I was working with a literary agent. And the one feature we used, Track Changes?

1996: On a flying visit to Pinewood studio to collect some drawings from the Lost in Space production office, I was hoofing up the stairs and Sam Neill came trotting down then, fully costumed up for (as we later learned) Merlin. That’s it, that’s my Sam Neill story.

Sam Neill in a snowy landscape wearing a rather fabulous outfit involving shimmery fabrics, plenty of feathers and knee high suede boots.

We saw a real Viking longship!

On a London canal, an orange ship’s lifeboat converted to residential use, then further modified with colourfully painted plywood shields and a dragon figurehead and tail.

Dan Hedaya fun fact: He has the same birthday as near-homophonic fellow actor Danny Dyer. Dan Hedaya fun fact 2: When you say Dan Hedaya’s name, you have to say it in Dan Hedaya’s voice.

At the weekend, instead of the usual route (up that way and round the back), we went around the side, across, and then around *that* side, and found miles of fully accessible paths, through woodland, by the river. We’ve only lived here for TEN YEARS

Sunny day view from a low bridge, along a calm river with dense woodland on either side.

…Biggie Smiles. He burst out laughing. “Is it real?” he asked, and I assured him that it had been around for decades and, as far as I knew, it was an outtake from the original photoshoot.

Biggie looking much happier with his crown

Young barista lad’s t-shirt was plain black on the front, with the classic picture of Biggie Smalls wearing a crown on the back. I put my phone on the counter with the same picture on the screen. “Of course this is the famous one,” I said, “but have you ever seen this one?” And I swiped across to…

Biggie Smalls wearing a gold crown and his usual unimpressed expression

Took the wrong colour bins out (left the flat wearing my reading glasses)

Three pairs of rectilinear acetate framed spectacles, all the same design but slightly different materials: black, dark brown and mid brown.

Odd couple in this Lloyds ad. Is there a transatlantic time travel romance story I don't know about? '80s Mall Girl meets '90s Festival Boy?

Middlesex Filter Beds looked good in the evening.

Low view of a raised stone causeway leading into woodland. It bears the remains of Victorian engineering, including some narrow gauge tracks. It's the same picture everybody takes here.

Yum yum not dissimilar to bubble gum. Watermelon pop, made in Korea, imported into the Netherlands, with health warnings in Spanish, bought in London.
