On the Thameslink and some absolute hero has just gone and asked someone else watching loud videos if they could use some headphones 👏🏾

This is an incredibly upsetting, important read

Stripping Palestinians of the ability to enter a safe country while being denied the most basic human rights at home is blatant collective punishment and a clear deprivation of dignity and humanity. Millions are forced to live under occupation, without water, electricity, or

Another day, another facepaint request from Clementine

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif. He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza. Speechless.

Gave my sons @nigella.bsky.social “how to eat” with an instruction to choose a recipe and go buy the ingredients. They chose roast lamb. Almost came a cropper when they then saw it needs 30 hours marinade but we left it overnight and ate it today - delicious!

@soozuk.bsky.social I think it was you chatting about this a couple a months ago? 7-Up is apparently returning for a 70-Up.

People are starving to death, or being gunned down while desperately trying to access food at aid sites — even journalists are in grave danger. This abhorrent situation cannot be allowed to continue www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

We are receiving desperate messages of starvation from #Gaza, including from our colleagues. Food prices have increased 40 fold. UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months, stockpiled just outside Gaza. Lift the siege and let aid in safely and at scale.

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

My lovely daughter turns 5 today and I will never not share my ridiculous labour report. I look back on it now and kind of laugh but it was deeply distressing to not be believed by the midwife that the baby really was very shortly on her way.

The new cat bed arrived

At a narrow bridge I noticed the car flashing me through had an reg ending in LBW. Rather than giving the standard hand raise of thanks, I gave an umpire single finger "out" signal. They replied with a 4 runs arm wave. One of the greatest human interactions of my life.

Ezekiel’s birthday cake

This is the strongest, most unequivocal language on Gaza I think I’ve heard out of the UK and France. And Canada’s position has notably changed this year too www.gov.uk/government/n...

As ever, the Omar El Akkad quote sums up Palestine the best. “One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside, everyone will always have been against this”

As someone who has experienced pregnancy loss on multiple occasions, I can barely think of anything more traumatising at that time.

Happy Barber Day to all the pensions industry folk!

Clementine starts her cricket journey

Extraordinary scene at Women's T20 World Cup Asia qualifier. With rain already hitting several games, UAE raced to 192/0 (16.0) vs Qatar, and with declaration not an option in T20, padded up & retired out 10 batters in succession. Qatar 29 ao. UAE won by 163. www.icc-cricket.com/matches/2593...

Got a letter with all these stamps on, was quite excited about who might have been digging into a decades-old stamp stash! Turned out to be from the garage reminding me to book my MOT 🤷🏽‍♀️

Happy Easter, folks.

Great to hear @seam100.bsky.social 's amazing Crux Fidelis at St Margaret's Westminster yesterday. www.westminster-abbey.org/st-margarets.... I am told the girls are always excited to see "the red book". @multitudeofvoyces.bsky.social @miriamkimber.bsky.social @westminsterabbey.bsky.social

I can’t get behind this robot IPL dog given that the original IPL dog has been so cruelly scrubbed from history.

So if I gently scratch the back of Rodan’s head with this pen (nib retracted), he lets Ezekiel apply his steroid cream without issues.
