Oscar Wilde died 125 years ago. At 8.30 this morning Merlin Holland took us to his grandfather’s tomb at Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris & told us something of its history. We were able to look inside the tomb to see the casket containing the ashes of Wilde’s friend Robbie Ross.

They say the last thing you see before going to sleep can colour your dreams … feast your eyes on the flowers in my fireplace just before lights out - and sleep well.

What have we here? A light lunch ahead of a fun afternoon. It’s curtain up at ⁦Aylesbury Waterside⁩ in Aylesbury at 3.00 pm so I’m being treated to a green soup featuring an Aylesbury duckling’s egg and a dollop of crème fraiche! Makes a change from my usual cheese sandwich.

Boum! I’m aiming to lose about 7kg in the 7 weeks before my next birthday. I think that’s about a stone in the old money. No injections for me: I’m on the move more / eat less diet! More protein, more fibre, fewer carbs & no cupcakes for elevenses. Plus a little kitchen dancing.

I first met her more than 50 years ago. I last saw her 2 weeks ago in very happy form. Whenever we met we laughed - and talked about sex! She was just the best company. A powerhouse of positivity who wherever she was simply spread pure happiness & had the naughtiest sense of gun

With Morris Dancing I’ve just learned that the handkerchief dances are trickier than the stick dances … I’m in Dodleston in Cheshire with my daughter who happens to be the local MP. The cake stall here is heaven!
