Went along to the Oxfringe launch last night, didn't realise my handbag was going to misbehave...naughty thing turned on the pint on the table next to me belonging to... Whispering Bob Harris (BBC Radio 2). Liquid in a pint glass looks far less in volume than when it has spread itself across table, soaked into clothing, squelched into leather jacket pockets, and meandered like a river along the floor... happily he saw the funny side (cautiously opting for a half pint when I offered a replacement drink!).
Enjoyed a champagne tea for two at Blenheim Palace (I won this in Daily Info's pro-Valentine's Day poetry competition; embarrassed to say the poem wasn't my best effort but it suited the remit) Three tiers of goodies were delivered to the table, including neatly cut sandwiches and an array of delicious cakes. Visited the Churchill Exhibition, enjoyed the Hallmark exhibition of old cards and Sir Winston's own paintings that were printed onto greetings cards. Too much to see in one visit but will make time to return. Entrance tickets are currently being converted to annual passes for anyone interested in exploring this fabulous building.
Playbites, Oxford Playhouse. My script: 'Good, Good, Good Incantations' was read and performed by two young actresses who did a great job of bringing the words to life. (good direction by Laura Caddick too). Thanks to all involved. Shame the Playbites run has finished.

An art photographer, 100 UK models, their lives, a hard-backed book and a time vault.

This rhyme was written for the producer of a local radio programme; who knows, it might become a modern day nursery song in the school playgrounds....
Three fine lice, three fine lice
See how they run, see how they run
They all ran over to Harry's head
Nestled down in his hair like a bedspread
Then fled in dread at the silicone spread
Those three fine lice

'Every time I screw up with my children I put a dollar in the jar on the shelf to pay for their therapy' What a great quote, contributed by Colin Firth in Psychologies Collections. Or in Twitter terms retweet RT@PsychologiesCollectionsWisdom@Colin Firth@someoneoncesaid@Diana-Moore.com or something like that.

I had my screen debut last night - all three seconds as a college secretary in MSM (nine hours, four scenes, numerous takes, several cups of tea and biccies, a little more waiting time, and a good hot lunch included) . Also had airtime on Richard & Judy's Star Bar earlier in the year. Contract should be coming through the post soon for a star role... I wonder how many 'extras'... get acting roles from starting out as an extra... I can think of one at the moment... Bill Tarmey aka Jack Duckworth

My daughter came home from school and handed me a booklet on the subject - she gave me an old-fashioned look (can teens do that?) with her thumb fixed in the page marked 'parenting programmes'. .... "Is there an 'Understanding Parents' book coming out soon?" I asked cheerfully... she wasn't amused...
Teenage Tips ~ for fraught mummies and daddies: If (I mean when) your teen is behaving stroppily, try mirroring their reactions and see the result you get. It generally stops them in their tracks - giving you a few seconds breather. If you have any top tips for harrassed parents of teens that you'd like to submit please let me know and I'll post them here.
