This Vivienne Westwood dress requires a degree in physics to get into but who else would I wear for a 50th on Jubilee weekend? Our very own queen of fashion. #PlatinumJubilee

My daughter after her first 5k head race yesterday - in a boat named after rowing legend @PhelpsAnnamarie . And very well they did too - just 13 seconds behind the J18s. @TheLeaRC

The teen did an Easter presentation: “why you should allow me the mini fridge in my bedroom”. Presumably so so she can stay in her room for 24hrs a day rather than just 22.

So @RishiSunak says it’s a deliberate policy decision to exclude the excluded? We don’t earn 200k p.a, Rishi. I’m “newly” self-employed (Nov 2018) and therefore there is no support system for me. Why is that a deliberate policy decision? @ExcludedUK #excludeduk

Proper old school exclusive - with pics! Matt Cock-in-his-Hands has been caught in a clinch with his glamorous aide.

Really sad news about Shane Warne. Am no cricket expert but from a showbiz journo perspective he gave us one of the best stories ever when he started dating Liz Hurley. The most unexpected but wonderful couple for a while.

Another momentous achievement for 2022 - I have written my first book, a memoir for a wonderful 92 year old sailor and surgeon. Needs a final proofread and will have more edits, but am sending to the family this week. Have just collated it all into one doc. More champagne?!

My cousin unearthed this pic of my aunt, who I’ve always been told I look like. This is like looking at a pic of me, put through some sort of incredible 1950s makeover. My mum probably made that dress too.

Editors’ incredibly long threads to freelancers on what makes a good pitch can be summed up like this. Good idea which only you can write? Commission! Good idea which anyone can write? Possible commission but does need a good pitch. Bad idea? No commission! The end.

Funny to think that this time last year, on my 50th, I had no idea I was going to row an ocean later that year. This is what 50 looked like - I wonder what 51 will bring?

I’m missing my friend Miranda today. We bonded when Wills married Kate, planned our Diamond Jubilee street party, and this pic is Harry & Meghan’s wedding day. She died of bowel cancer 2 years ago this week. It’s why these moments are special - as much about community as Queen.

This epic thing happened - we won the dead heat by two foot. Not far enough for a free start but a moral victory and a once in a lifetime (I hope!) battle #theboatrace

I’ve deserved it. Made it to the final, came 5th, vast improvement on last year, no disasters, racing against former world champ gold medallists, as is the way in masters rowing. Onwards and upwards! @TheLeaRC

Well that’s a wrap. Left the house at 6am, got home at 7.30am - with my daughter’s first rowing pot! Chilled to my bones, but worth it!
