Most meat-eaters console themselves with the fact that they're consuming a creature that they wouldn't recognize. I wonder what percentage of us would be vegetarians if we had to kill and eat the very animal that we'd been feeding and nurturing for months.
However, when the moment of truth does arrive and we are able to look back over our lives, there's one thing we can be sure that we won't be saying: 'You know, my biggets regret is that i didn't worry a bit more. I had so many opportunities to be more uptight about things and I just didn't take them. Oh, how I wish I had.'
One of the frustrations of life is that however much time we spend planning our futures, we are always potentially just a moment away from a piece of news that can shatter everything. We have but a brittle hold on our own lives, let alone those of others.

As the year draws to a close, I felt that for my final book, I wanted a book to leave 2025 with a smile on my face and a chuckle or two. Sue Townsend guarantees those feelings with the greatest comic character since bertie worsted. In this Adrian's diaries for 1997/1998 coincide with the first year of the new Labour government with brilliant satire but also the comedy of his home and love life. Happy reading in 2026, everyone.

If some of you are like me, this is still happening. I just hand the box to the kids: “here‘s another one I must have forgotten about.” #holidayhumor
Ok there‘s just been 3 so far…
