1) I saw this article in Stylist magazine and thought that it was just brilliant; I hadn’t heard of Life Hacks before but now I’m going to be sat there thinking them up all day! Life Hacks, according to Stylist, are little “tips and tricks to get rid of the tiny everyday annoyances in life”. They’ve rounded up the best ones, from putting frozen grapes in your wine to chill it rather than ice, which melts, to lighting almost burnt-out candles with a piece of dried spaghetti! Genius. You can find the article here – just one more reason to love the mag.

2) I “vlogged” last week. What a hideous word “vlog” is; I’m not so keen on “blog”, either, when it comes to it. Both sound like some kind of Klingon clearing-of-the-throat. Anyway, I did a “vlog” and you can see my odd ramblings in the video above. I talk about my soon-to-be-gone kitchen and my new-old Burberry mac  and I also do some driving in my mac and look a bit like Columbo. If you want to subscribe to my vlog (UGH!) channel then you can do so by clicking here.

3) Pets, pets, pets. Here’s the cat almost on my shoulder as I try to have a peaceful bath and the dog in the front garden waiting to be taken for a walk. Mr AMR and I were sitting on the front step having a beer, so there was no chance of walkies! You can see more pet Instagrams here, my Instagram is here.
