I’m afraid that when I read that the posh glamping provider for wealthy Glastonbury fans was going into liquidation, I smirked. The company offered yurts that only look luxurious if you compare them with tents – with a beds, a sofa, a loo and a shower, as well as meals. Pretty basic, biatch. The only exclusive thing about it is that guests can access the hospitality area behind the Pyramid tent, like ageing groupies.

I couldn’t resist sharing more stunning photos from Photo London. Over 130 galleries specialising in exhibiting and selling the best examples of photographic creativity took part. Today, Sunday, is the last day. It’s worth it to catch it. I really hope I’m able to go there in person next year rather than gazing at the catalogue from my wheelchair.

I was surprised to see Netflix’s new true crime documentary was about the vile Fred and Rose West. Most people are familiar with their gory, wicked crimes, and I wasn’t sure what a new documentary could add to the font of knowledge about the case. More importantly, although the loss of a family member to murder is never forgotten by the loved ones, reliving the details can derail grieving relatives who have, decades on, tried to continue their lives.

I thought that there was nothing more annoying than ‘myself’ing where ‘me’ would do. I have had my eyes opened. There is something worse. It’s ‘ourselves’ing.
