Walking to pick up kids early from school... ... screaming at everyone to close their windows in the heat

Very similar to my view of aging and next year's birthday...

Unexpected petrichor. Odd day today. Tomorrow, who knows?

One of those days I'm relieved to still be on health leave, and not working on public affairs...

Using this line next time my kids make a puncture in the paddling pool...for the 4th year in a row

I am 12 again open.spotify.com/track/1puEUi...

Burnham's first scalp

London somewhat missing the Indian Ocean for a swim after work though, compared to Maputo

Spoke to my Grandma, 99, who's looking forward to her 22nd Prime Minister (guess her favourite?) Even more fascinating was the chat with her carer, who used to look after Anthony Eden's widow, Clarissa, Lady Avon

Give it 3 hours and I'm going to be standing at the school gates with a mop bucket full of this. Drink the tea. Spray the sun cream. Repeat.

Sports Day cancelled tomorrow because of the heat, BUT the kids get a special guest for their assembly ...Every parent currently planning to gatecrash

It's so easy to be a cynic

This is an embarrassing image for the UK. A self-respecting British fox should be dragging Binface's contents out over the stage

I am now in Wool. Home of wool. 🐑

shit shit shit

Jeremy Kyle has now disembarked. Sad to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

I am 4 rows away from Jeremy Kyle on a train just past Southampton. Happy to accept suggestions, ready to pitch ideas for a new show to him

Busy few days ahead supporting the @rcoanews.bsky.social accreditation + quality improvement process for Dorset County Hospital #Anaesthesia department Rigorous ACSA framework, but also ensuring diverse #patients' needs + dignified care are front and centre #MedSky #AnSky

Whatever you do, don't Google him

Instagram's algo casually telling me moshisch is coming. #JewSky

When your lived experience is in satanic necromancy #MedSky

Quick, jump in the LinkedInmobile as you accelerate on your B2B journey

Well done, New Yorker #AI

I miss the old twitter

Cantona. Peerless.

Realise I should've asked Peter Murrell to curate our wedding gift list a decade ago. Some excellent and discerning choices www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ah, the overpriced Modern House listing with a tasteful portrait of a sleeping Vladimir Putin

Three massive stacks of @jewishnews.bsky.social newspapers (presumably stolen, then) dumped on our residential street in Haringey. Sadly all too easy to read into possible motive #antisemitism Cc @danielsugarman.bsky.social

Alex Younger FT obit... When Dominic Cummings called him for the first time, he asked Younger what he was doing. “Plotting evil shit,” Younger replied. www.ft.com/content/59c9...

We've discussed ketmamine use at length on the Board of the Faculty of Pain Medicine, but public alarm of harms of illicit use also needs to be communicated alongside v clear + beneficial clinical uses for anaesthesia + pain management www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #MedSky #AnSky

Terrifying to see that your 5 year old's being fed Livingstone's propaganda

Good job title

Friday means...third board meeting in 3 days with jet lag after a delayed red eye flight from America with 2 children

Celebrating Shavuot aka "the cheesecake festival" in 23° heat ... Bad idea gastrointestinally #JewSky

Rare but joyous TFL lost property success Almost 4 months ago, we lost this on the bus, and then saw a driver had adopted it as his mascot...but refused to return it. Never anger a 5 year old who's willing to negotiate to the death with a bus company

Strong evidence that the shooters at the mosque in San Diego yesterday held both Islamophobic and antisemitic beliefs. Our safety is bound up together, no matter how much politicians may try to divide us.

TBH, surprised Spotify is telling me I've *only* listened to 25hrs of Soulwax in 17 years

Looking forward to retiring in 2055, not into Abundance ©️, but rather poverty

Given she chose the winner, I should probably be getting my 7 year old into prediction markets...

Eurovision update: kids are voting for Ferto

#Eurovision family favourites... 7 year old: Bulgaria 5 year old: Moldova If I never have to listen to either of these songs again, I'll be happy

Peerless Travolta look here - that'll be my disturbingly easy to achieve Halloween costume sorted then

Would very much like to be reading this, exactly now, with a pint in hand outside the Red Lion, just to see the chaos

Have just read an "As the Dad of a Daughter" post in the wild over on twitter. Didn't think these kind of post(er)s really existed

Cheery Friday afternoon memento mori ☠️

It's time for Goldblum

And then this on co-opting Jewish trauma #antisemitism #JewSky
