The town, unchanged since her last visit – unchanged for centuries – did not greet her with open arms. The buildings, all different sizes and girth, washes of pale greys or dull sandstones, offered nothing to break the constant drizzle or thin wind. Its small streets wound and curved, then forked in sharp corners. Stretches of buildings, the hems stained black with wet mosses, split for bricked alleys where puddles collected, and if not for the bareness and drabness and the lack of anything that seemed to be able to flourish, it would have been a ‘quaint’ place.
One of Gregg Wallace’s wives used to be charged with compiling his daily to-do list. As the MasterChef host once explained, in words he somehow said out loud: “It starts off every morning with ‘yoghurt’, then ‘leg band’, then it’ll be ‘teeth’, then it’ll say ‘tablets’ because I’ve got to take my cholesterol tablets and vitamin C, then ‘check BBC News’. Those are all the things I must do before I leave the flat. Then it’ll say ‘Twitter’ because I want to tweet twice a day, then it’ll say ‘H’ for Heidi because of all the things I need to discuss with her.” As you can see, at no stage does this list say “remove all clothes and walk around workplace with sock over penis” – so it’s a mystery why, in a period possibly contemporaneous with this list running his life, Gregg is alleged to have done that. And indeed, alleged to have joshed in a whole host of other inappropriate ways, over a period of 17 years, presumably under the aegis of other lists. Certainly while married to other wives. I’m sure Gregg would say that the idea that any list could schedule and micromanage his critically acclaimed banter would be absolutely ludicrous – and yet, I’m looking at the words “check BBC News” and thinking that perhaps he would not be the best arbiter of what is ludicrous.

I saw a tweet that said "I feel like I'm constantly worrying about the next part of my life without realising that I'm right in the middle of what I used to look forward to."
Snippet reads: The staff returned then, and each set down a plate, decorated with purples and greens and pinks. Vegetables, pastries and meats were stacked and each glistened. The skins of tomatoes were crinkled and decorated with crumbs of salt, and small tarts had flowers of fruit arranged on top, dotted with a deep, red sauce. “Eat,” he instructed, but no one did. Instead when silverware should have scratched bone china and amber should have sloshed in glasses, silence dripped like wax.
