My dad’s funeral today, and I realise I’m fearing it not because funerals are awful (I think they can be wonderful things), but because it’s finally final. Until today, he’s just not been here. After, he’ll be gone.

I don't understand why you would want to be a billionaire unless it was to bring even a tenth of the goodness into the world that Dolly did. What's the point of all that wealth if you keep it to yourself and use it for ill?

Ok this is incredibly bougie but I popped the cork on a bottle of lambrusco and it fizzed over so I tried stopping it with my thumb and it went *everywhere * as I increased the pressure and I literally had to repaint the entire room, such was the red wine staining

Devastating, as @hannahfearn.bsky.social says. However, one line jumped out at me, from someone genuinely sympathetic: "He says the education system needs to equip young people to be “much more versatile and chameleon-like” to adapt to the unpredictability of the future." Quick 🧵... /1

Just went to the tip, saw a chap struggling with a bag of garden clippings so said "can i give you a hand, mate?" and he said, and I *promise* I'm not making this up, "that'd be good" whilst waggling the hook he had on the end of his left arm

I've not seen one person say anything positive about Wes Streeting. Not a single one. Presumably Wes knows no one likes him either, which must be why his face always has the slightly stunned look of someone who just shat themself in public

A little bit of calm - this very bold Robin fledgling enjoyed me doing a bit of planting and stirring up insects. Hope he’s not TOO bold, there’s a few cats regularly in the garden.

Ok this is the photo I should’ve posted last night, not the blurry one. Blame post-ride pints. King John looking out over a dramatic sky and full moon in Axbridge town square

Buy a massive hill, build loads of mtb trails on it, get loads of ecology going around them. Maybe pop a bunch of wind turbines on top and solar panels at the bottom for a big community energy project. Uplift would be a funicular railway, just for shits and giggles

Just in case, went out for a ride in the woods, had a quick pint with a pal and came home to loving wife and best cat friend

Monkey was looking *fierce* today in the late afternoon sunshine. He’s not much of an outside during the day boy, so we have a bit of a play when he fancies some garden time with us.

I’ve stolen this from someone on Twitter - it’s too good not to share here. Jessica Simpson was taught acting by Chuck Norris. And if you think for a moment that you can guess what that involved, you are very, very wrong.

I think of this a lot - those of us in our mid 40s have had one unprecedented crisis after another. 9/11, Iraq, London bombings 2005, 2008, austerity, brexit, Covid, Ukraine, Trump. The Olympics were nice, I suppose. That was the last time I felt truly optimistic about the state of things

This seems pretty indisputable. Reform and the Tories, who want to scrap net zero, are very obviously bought and owned by fossil fuel oligarchs and corporations.
