The moment it happened … when ⁦Dermot O'Leary⁩ knocked over the £ 30,000 vase on ⁦This Morning⁩ - and ⁦Alison Hammond⁩ didn’t realise it was an April Fool! A joy to be there to see it as it happened. A little bit of TV gold.

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.

Those who know me well will know that I have long been looking for a home for my archive - books, papers, jumpers, the lot! At last, I believe I’ve found it. What do you think?

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.

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

Those of us of riper years are not sure that all this HYDRATION is entirely necessary. The great Dame Mary Berry has revealed to me that her mother lived to be 105 - and never drank more than two small glasses of water a day. (She had a little wine, too, with her dinner.)

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!
