It's A level results day. Here is your annual reminder that if you didn't get the results you hoped for, you still don't need to take advice from Jeremy Clarkson.

The bar for men remains staggeringly low.

From British GQ: a photo of Starmer with the text 'Starmer can chair a meeting. He can draft a minute. He can lead a team. He can hold a press conference. He can stay calm in an interview. Those skills look simple but they are not. And they are vital'.

Is everything ok at Leicestershire Live?

M&S double chocolate 'hot cross bun'. It's a chocolate bread roll. Not unpleasant, but not a hot cross bun.

Grateful for the 'defender' keyring being given out on campus this week by security. Excuse me whilst I go and find the 'try not to attack anyone' stall.

Found this toad at 7am this morning in the middle of a carpark. We were both awake too early, I think. It did not want to move.

Sorry for the slow reply, I bought an electric lint remover and have become obsessed with shaving bobbles off my clothes.

Is 'middle class woman of a certain age' the new childless cat lady?

My phone randomly creates 'stylised photos' from images I've saved. This morning's is a keeper.

If there is an afterlife, I'd like it to have endless tables of panipuri and fountains of tamarind sauce. This is one of the best things I saw (and ate) at Leicester Mela today.

Two chocolate fountains but with tamarind sauce flowing through them instead.

I'm a cliché of a 40something woman, but a swim outside does change the trajectory of my day for the better.

Which academic are you today? I would have to be 'lightweight' but let's see after this bottle of wine.

Leicester planted a new peace tree today. Our Mayor was there to plant it, but in the end members of CND and other peace organisations collectively planted it.

At parents evening today I was told to check my 9yo son's writing for these things. I've had to Google some of them. What a shame to reduce writing to this.
