A bump on my forehead thatās a real museum piece and repetitive strain injury in my wrist and hands so acute youād easily mistake me for a pubescent teen. These are the first signs of physical trauma to show from my latest WFH evolution, WFP (working from phone).

Picture the scene: Youāre at home in the kitchen. After toiling for hours to prepare a gourmet feast, itās time to down that trusty wooden spoon. Sure, your dish might need a pinch of this and a dash of that before serving, but itās pretty much done. Happy with theā¦
Are pandemic hook-ups irresponsible? Or can people put it about as they please?
With his peroxide shock and plummy twaddle, Boris Johnson would put even the randiest horndog off sex at the best of times ā quite frankly, I have no clue how Carrie Symonds does it.

How āSchittās Creekā legend Moira Rose indirectly taught me the best way to tackle cultural appropriation

How a stylish sexagenarian led me to question whether I have anything to say that no one else can say better
Ever heard of Tutti Bennett? Na, neither had I until I met her daughter Sonia (my friendās kooky flatmate) last year. At a party, Sonia led me to her mumās colourful Instagram page, and it was love at first sight. She might just be the coolest lady Iāve ever seenā¦
