Today at the circus I was very emotional watching my niece enjoy the show and clap along. Then as the performers were singing Christmas songs at the end I released that they probably wouldn’t be seeing their family this year as the shows go on till Christmas Day. I just started weeping. Luckily it was fairly dark.
What was the last thing that made you cry?

The When They See Us Netflix series and the Oprah follow up. Such a powerful documentary film. Those poor boys.

The dispatches programme on channel 4 - Britain's breadline kids. Not an easy watch but I guess that's the point, an eye opener.

The exit poll

The column in The Guardian written by Joe Hammond. He had Motor Neurone Disease and wrote it, using his pupils and a computer, just before he died. It's one of the most devastatingly heartbreaking things I've ever read but very beautifully written. I had to have a break half way through reading. Don't read it in public would be my advice.

The election result.

I cried half an hour ago telling DH how wonderful all the pate looked in the supermarket earlier, and how upset I am that I can't eat it Sad

My STBXH "accidentally" giving back a jumper I bought him as a gift years ago because he thought I might want it. It still hurts.

I cried about the election result. I looked at my children and thought what have we done. They deserve better than that.
