I spent £150 in one of Brum's Michelin star restaurants (Adams) to see if it was worth the hype and the cost. I got high and cried. Here's how it went:

When I was a teenager, I was homeless for a time. I was dropped off at a YMCA with just a sleeping bag and I cried and cried and cried, for the journalism career that I felt slipping away from me and into the Never. Writing is all I ever wanted. Thank you for reading my stuff ❤️

A few people have messaged offering to pay for my Adam's dinner, or asking if they can treat me to dinner at other places. While I am super touched by this, and I bloody love money, can I instead suggest that you consider donating to @Sifafireside instead? Pass on the good vibes.

Think about what you are saying when you suggest that the answer to someone's mental health crisis is "just reach out" or "check in on your friends". Think of the suffering that contributes to, right now. We need to talk about mental health more deeply. This isn't enough.

A strict PR once arranged for me to interview #PaulOGrady but we crossed paths early, in a smoking area. He greeted me with: "I LOVE YER FROCK!" 🥰 He was warm and... normal (?) for a celebrity. I guessed it was the Liverpool in him. We nattered on like two babs at a bus stop.
