Season 7 of my life begins tomorrow. I’ll be sixty, fuckin sixty. I assume like every other season of this slightly dull soap opera I will at some point shit myself, probably cry about something that doesn’t matter to anyone except me, and be momentarily happy or proud about something I’ll forget.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Rare sighting of a strange mythical creature steeped in Norfolk folklore. Stranger than Black Shuck, it’s the Bagman of Cantley.

Physiognomy has been debunked as a pseudoscience repeatedly, basically every time it rears its ugly head. The last time it properly did, millions died.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Boundary Ovillers, Somme, France. Formed in 16 days from 1/7/1916, expanded during the battlefield clearances. It sits on the downward slope of the rise. I first saw it through some trees, white laced chalk staining from trenches dug here, a ghost in the soil until the crops push through.

Today’s cactus is the first in a while because I ran out of space, but I sold one of my children, so now there’s room for more. It’s a Myrtillocactus geometrizans (blue myrtle cactus, or blue candle). Grows big, branches eventually, this one has twice already hence buying it. Homeland is Mexico.

Another series of prints. This one is Vanishing Points, shot between 2012 and 2017 on the Western Front. Lost Light Bernafay Wood, Montauban, Somme, France. The wood is full of pits and hollows below the brambles and bracken. A haunted and haunting woodland tracts in a flowing landscape.

When I see an advert I just think 'fucking capitalism trying to flog me overpriced dishwasher tablets and spoiling Lovejoy'. I also just don't think about what colour anyone is in anything, if you do that the problem is inside you, not outside with the rest of us. She can get fucked.

This is interesting, back in the day so to speak, before kettling was called kettling and was merely ‘there’s an anarchist over who needs a wee, can you let her out’. I went on the 1984 Stop the City which was huge. It was smashing.

Corbin Somewhere near the Skeena River British Columbia 2017 Corbin was our guide, we went by boat up a tributary of the Skeena to watch bears and moose and so on. It rained a bit and was deadly beautiful, a charmed piece of more or less untouched wilderness.

Storm edge West Runton/Doggerland 2018. A day in the July heat spent fossil hunting. A storm rolled in across the lost Doggerland plain. Huge threaded cumulonimbus growing suddenly over the sea and across the cliffs. The finale, mammatus formed on the underside, then the sky cracked and it rained.

West Runton Doggerland 2014 When the tide is out towards the shelf, it reveals not just sand but an outcrop of Cretaceous chalk, between 145 and 60 million years old, this stretch is the younger end of the spectrum. Known for its ‘Pot-stones’ or Paramoudra; giant flints with a hole right through.

St Benet’s Abbey. 2018 On the Bure. Founded on the site of a martyrdom by the Danes, then Wulfric, Cnut, the cult of St Margaret. Now just a gatehouse, a mill. Some flint. A sentinel in the flat land. Inside, graffiti, lover’s hearts and scratches. I ran my fingers along, walked the church’s spine.
