HOW TO MAKE A RAGà (Palindrome) Ragù: Shallot. A tuna. Deft salt (light) or beer, up a root. A motto. Herb most sombre. Hot tomato, or a purée. Broth, gilt, last fed a nut. A toll. Ah, sugar!

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

The glorious megatherium (giant ground sloth) at Crystal Palace Park. Built 1854 as part of the world's first dinosaur park & so much at the cutting edge of a new science that the word dinosaur hadn't been invented yet. It's been hidden behind foliage for years, but is now unveiled in all its glory.
