Welcome to the Secret Diary Club!

This week’s three behind-the-scenes entries include an astonishing example of “insane coincidence” (calling it that for the sceptics), a sound persuasion tactic to persuade someone to do something they don’t want to do, and one of the biggest rants from last year when I was having a very, very bad day. Just to show how completely human I am, if I haven’t already demonstrated that. I don’t enjoy being angry, but I rather enjoy writing/reading a rant. Cathartic. Also, as is usual for me in my diary rants, very sweary.

Remember: what’s revealed in Secret Diary Club stays in Secret Diary Club. No sharing!

No grab a coffee, a herbal tea, or a proper British cuppa, and have a nose!
