Tuesday night’s dinner It was Ripon’s birthday on Monday, but as I was cross examining experts all day Monday & Tuesday in week 3 of McLaren v Palou motorsports trial in the Commercial Court I had to make excuses & take him out Tuesday night instead - but it was all good - at Bathazar, Covent Garden

Many thanks to the gold standard consultancy firm, Ankura, for inviting me to their dinner at Michelin-starred restaurant Galvin La Chapelle’s last week - somewhere I would not normally go to - some great food & company: crab raviolo, beef, pumpkin tart & a decent drop of plonk!

Braised chicken breasts with artichoke hearts, olives and herbs, in Marsala & stock Some more home cooking I managed during our non-sitting week in middle of the McLaren v Palou trial - buonissimo it was too #food #homecooking

Early start for early kick off At QPR for the London derby against Millwall. Capacity crowd. Riot police getting ready at 10.30am. 6th v 8th - live on Sky - here’s hoping for a feisty match, peaceful fans & 3 points for the Rs! #qpr

4 more with the PX & caffe, in Italy in June. More coffee, and more films with camera no. 20 in my 2025 film SLR project, probably my favourite Pentax, the wonderful LX - one of the two cameras I took with me this summer in Italy.

Tamarind A culinary highlight of some of last weeks dinners during week 2 of the McLaren v Palou. A wonderful dinner with clients, I especially liked the goat’s rib (I am a huge fan of slow cooked goat, which we don’t see enough of in the UK). #dinner #food #restaurant

McLaren V Palou www.mundodeportivo.com/us/en/202510...

A long & eventful week in the McLaren v Palou trial. I shan’t comment on the case, but I think it’s the first time I’ve seen myself appear in court sketches (these by the excellent Priscilla Coleman) introducing my client, IndyCar champion Alex Palou, and cross-examining McLaren CEO Zak Brown.

Panerai Luminor GMT This week, my second week in trial, I decided to wear my Paneria GMT that I bought on taking Silk in 2018, for good luck.

Tudor Black Bay. This week I’ve been wearing my Tudor since getting the bracelet fixed. It’s the same heritage as Rolex, without the cost, noise & thief magnet. Plus I think it’s cooler. A proper tool watch — accurate, tough, and better when it’s lived in. #watches #watch #tudor

Sunday night Had to stay in a hotel in London for early start in our trial - made more pleasant by a margarita & some tasty Greek food…

Surely one of the most beautiful views from a court room - at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne.

Not only sports lawyers but I think many fans too will find this fascinating episode about Ai in sport of interest. Streaming now www.blackstonechambers.com/podcasts/the...

At the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for a hearing in Lausanne today & tomorrow. Always a pleasure to be here, and the facilities now are excellent.
