Happy John Cake Day to all who… etc etc etc

I have given up trying to keep Auntie Joy in order. She really is terrible.

ON A RAGGA TIP ON 6MUSIC

You must forgive me for not writing for so long, but I just wanted to be on my own for a couple of years or so.

Every time I think these can’t get more nuts, they manage it

*Interview begins* Candidate: ‘Nobody knows ooo they were, or what they were doin’’

What do we think the chances are of the tube still being knackered in the morning? TFL reckons a normal service which seems optimistic tbh

I guess I’m one of these people now

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

OMG I’m actually cold

Not sure how I ended up with six back to back meetings between 1pm and 4:30 🙃

She likes looking through the curtains perched up on her knees.

Been to see The Backrooms.

Well I like to think we all have an Id rampaging unsatisfied around the endless basement of a furniture shop that looks like the offices of somewhere you had a data entry temp job in 1996

Doing work on a Saturday morning

'Camden Head, Camden Walk'( 1961) by Geoffrey Scowcroft Fletcher (Islington Local History Centre and Museum)

French Open marking the end of a set by playing Gainsbourg’s L’Anamour 🇫🇷🚬

I’ve got the theme tune from ‘Kick Start’ stuck in my head. Send help.

HOW is there so much work? WHERE does it come from?

It’s a stupidly high bar but I believe this to be Craig Brown’s finest work

How long can a world go on under such a subtle god? How long can a world go on with no new word from God? See the plod of the flawed individual looking for a nod from God Trodding the sod of the visible with no new word from God

I think the heatwave is getting to me #nowplaying #itsabangertho

A great way to deliver what is clearly a record with FRAGILE written on the envelope is to a) hide it under a doormat with a small, almost imperceptible corner of the packaging sticking out and b) not notify the recipient that you’ve delivered it 🎉

This is glorious. (From the British Museum, Midsummer 1939.)

When people say they are ‘in my happy place’, more should be said for the virtues of being in one’s sad place

Ooh one of those Ernest Trowbridge houses on Buck Lane is up for sale. And it has a recording studio in the back garden. Though to be honest it’s all looking a bit knackered. uniquepropertycompany.co.uk/property-res...

Thought that I had a weird dark mark on my ankle this morning so spent twenty minutes googling medical symptoms only to realise when I opened the blinds that my ankles are just a bit swollen in the heat and it was just a shadow. Oftentimes it doesn’t feel so glamorous to be me.

SPRINGWATCH

Just saw a picture of a jumper online and nearly had a panic attack

Tell you what else doesn’t like this heat? My bloody HRT patches. One valiantly clinging on to my thigh like a withered barnacle

Well that was beautiful chaos #cheeserolling

Watching the cheese rolling. What a silly country

Negroni time for your heroine

PSA: the cheese rolling at Cooper's Hill starts at 12pm, tomorrow, and will be streaming on BBC iPlayer.

Me and my Bluesky bubble

6Music playing Diamonds and Rust 👀

Happy Birthday Bob Dylan - maybe he’ll get a voucher for some singing lessons #rofl #meme #internethumour

Two Fruit Pastille Lollies for breakfast

It’s a million degrees and I’m on my own so it’s sitting in front of the fan with a bottle of Pinot Grigio and three hours of the Kylie documentary 💖

Trying to work out which supermarket trip will be least horrendous in this heat

We are so back @zemblamatic.bsky.social @neilclasper.bsky.social

Somehow ended up doing four hours of work on my day off 🎉

It’s too fucking hot

This story, insofar as it deals with the National Railway Museum, is utterly absurd. If you rock up to a museum event expecting to dump a load of stuff on the staff, and are then surprised to be politely refused, then you clearly have no idea what museums are for. www.cityam.com/a-state-of-t...

To dinner, my wife and I having high words about her dancing to that degree that I did enter and make a vow to myself not to oppose her or say anything to correct her therein as long as her month lasts, in pain of 2s. 6d. for every time, which, if God pleases, I will observe.

Happy birthday @bcky.bsky.social x 🎈

What the hell is going on here?

I’ve mistyped my own surname as my screen name in the meeting and I can’t change it
