Himself indoors never listens, and I can just feel him retaining at best 10% of a conversation while actually tracking the flight path of a sparrow outside or something. Over the last year, we have had the same conversation about Katy Perry’s marital status roughly every third month, as she gets engaged/has a baby/releases an album. Every time he is shocked to discover anew that Katy Perry is romantically involved with Orlando Bloom. Yes, the elf. No, he was married to someone else but they divorced. Yes, he’s with Katy Perry now!

It’s like memento for all the pointless celebrity trivia that means so much to me, but it does mean that I get to retell my favourite little facts over and over again and each time he reacts as it’s all brand new so I forgive it for the most part.

So, here’s a thing. My other half has bought a sweatshirt with the words “Early Bird” written across the front. Except she stays in bed every morning for a whole hour while I get up with Jimbo, pretty much every single day.

Is she taking the piss or what?

She was watching Bridgerton last week (sidenote: is Bridgerton a piss-take? It’s awful) so I’ve taken to assuming everything she watches without me is Bridgerton. Was easy with Pride and Prejudice (“I didn’t know he was in Bridgerton, looks good for his age doesn’t he?”) so have moved onto the Gilmore Girls (“do they time travel in Bridgerton then?”).

Sometimes, when you’re putting a lot of effort into re-setting alarms and hijacking smart-speakers to play inappropriate music, it’s worth sitting back and reminding yourself that not everything has to be a gimmick and sometimes just singing their favourite song in the manner of Vic Reeves ‘In the club style’ is just as effective.

My partner has started writing out shopping lists, so I’ve been adding “big butts” to them.

I used to do this sort of thing years ago when we used a paper list. Currently we’re doing all our shopping online so I’m just verbally telling him to order big butts when he’s placing an order and asks if there’s anything else we need.

Have coined the phrase “That’s Bargz!” which I’m claiming is what the kidz say when something is a bargain. Any time anything is even remotely good value I’ll just yell out THAT’S BARGZ! I think everyone reckons I’m losing it but I honestly can’t stop laughing every time.

To be fair, anyone reading that book is going to need cheering up now and then.

P sure my partner’s been known to do this on occasion. Unfortunately he doesn’t drive so I can’t return the favour. I could follow the directions wrongly so it takes us ages to get back but I think that would annoy me more than him.
