Took the old hound for a paddle, he's 13 next month.

As a young photographer, I was sent to photograph him arriving at Northolt in his private jet. The car sent to collect him was a chauffeur driven Aston Martin with the reg AML1 because it belonged to the chairman. The jet had a go faster stripe in Royal Stewart tartan.

Elderly British Jew here, Alona. Lost my zaide and bubbe in the Holocaust. ANY Jew cheering the deputy leader of Reform is deluding themselves.

Tunnock's is pretty much the only brand I can think of that hasn't engaged in enshittifaction. No change to recipe, shrinkflation, rebranding, change in packaging. I hope they're still going when all their competitors are fucked.

This year’s Nürburgring 24 will feature the largest grid for over a decade as an expanded 161-car entry list, which includes 41 GT3 machines in the top SP9 class, has been revealed.

it is devastating to notice how few benches there are in the world and how some benches have been replaced by weird "leaning" things. the world is incredibly cruel to disabled, elderly, poor, pregnant, tired, homeless, and all people. there should be benches fucking everywhere for everyone

There's something about the work of Paul Klee that has always appealed to me.

My first Osprey of 2026, today at Riverside Nature Park. Lucky catch with the photo. Also a Wheatear at the airport (numbers 113 and 114 for 2026 Dundee150 list). No Willow Warbler unfortunately. #BirdingScotland

“You’re not supposed to use your phone while driving.” “Got it. Let’s install large tablet touchscreens in almost every single new car.”

Something I don't think the UK boasts about enough - and a great rebuttal to Reform and the Tories' anti-net zero propaganda: The UK is home to 7 out of the top 10 biggest offshore wind farms in the world. 10 of the top 20. And 6 in 10 of the largest ones in the world currently under construction.

I listened to this on my commute, earlier in the week. Strong recommend. Comforting in some ways and desperately bleak in others.

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

G is for Geode. And that's good enough for me.

Tonight, I attended a performance of the musical, Annie. Not an oeuvre that I am familiar with, I was delighted to discover, it's the wholesome tale of a billionaire friend of the president, who procures an eleven year old, orphan girl for Christmas.

Someone needs to learn not to eat bees.

Today I had the opportunity to do something for a dear friend, and did it in away that made her so happy, she started crying. It's a lovely satisfying feeling that I hope will last all weekend.

In these times, as when Adam Smith wrote, it is important to remind ourselves of the revolutionary notion at the heart of Smith’s opus—that the wealth of a nation is measured not by its accumulated riches, but by the productivity and living standards of all its people.

Winner of the gundog group and best in show. Had to be lifted off the 4ft high winners podium. #Crufts

I had a fantastic series of dreams where I was a centaur.

Watched a bit of Crufts and man, we've done some terrible things to dogs.
