Oh thank the gods, I just nearly commented on a Facebook post but stopped myself in the nick of time. Phew.

I love a BBC hospital documentary but the ludicrous overuse of split screen on Emergency 24/7 is making it like a cheap Guy Richie film.

Dear The Piccadilly Line, no service between Cockfosters and Uxbridge strikes me as rather more than a 'partial' closure. Possibly an almost entire closure. Yours &c...

Apparently @allgoodbookshop.co.uk are struggling to pay the rent. This is a great, and important, community bookshop in North London so if you are thinking of buying a book this week, in person or online, perhaps you might consider doing so from them. And maybe I can persuade you with a bribe?

I'm on sabbatical at the moment. I've had my picture taken with Darwin, turned left at Mary Anning, and touched a 1400s manuscript of a work by Plini the Elder. Guess where I am!

I just wrote and sent an email that is at least a year overdue, and it's brought home to me how very much has changed in the last 18 months. It's been wonderful and heartbreaking and happy and sad and in writing this email it has all hit me. It is a lot.

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

Happened upon an old episode of Gavin and Stacey, and it's amazing how much was in it that you couldn't do now. Like, they're regularly smoking in pubs! Or the running joke about how fully adult James Corden's character is regularly cheating on his girlfriend, who is a literal schoolgirl

Yesterday was all about looking after four hoglets who have a nest in the garden but were out in the daytime. Fed, watered, and back in their nest. Today the cat brought in a dying fledgling which died in my hands. I've apparently become the baby animal in distress whisperer.

Seems to be a lot of selective memory in UK's right-wing newspapers about schools not closing during the 1976 heatwave. I just checked and, yes, many schools did close early as well as allow parents to "keep their children at home if they wish". This clipping from London Evening News, 29 June 1976

Also Anthony Head was the star of what became a weirdly British phenomenon, which was the ongoing wiil-they-won't-they drama of The Nescafe Ads. He and Sharon Maughn were our low budget coffee drinking Mulder and Scully. A new Nescafe advert was appointment TV. All our mums were in love with him.

Tomorrow, I find out if I'm at risk of redundancy. Will be wearing my new dress that has RETURN TO THE LIBRARY emblazoned across it, which feels applicable to either outcome.

UK is more likely to be tipped into a skip. There is no legal or constitutional rule which requires a general election if a PM is changed mid-term. Since 1974 every UK PM has either entered or left office mid-term (or both). Silly, misleading stuff from a senior politician.

A mandalorian is a Cornish colloquialism for American tourists who ask locals if they can trace their family back to King Arthur. A grogu is a tiny spoon used by vets to capture the tears of domestic mammals to test for signs of depression.
