Nostalgia time. Went to Old Street for lunch at Vegan restaurant Plates & walked past my old office Albert House from my Pattinson & Brewer days. Moved out in 2013. It has changed quite a bit since then. New tower blocks & Old Street Roundabout is no more.

It was our “Meaning of Life” Wedding Anniversary on Monday so we took a trip on the Waverley, the world’s last seagoing paddle steamer from Eastbourne Pier, past our house to Beachy Head & the Seven Sisters. The weather was perfect so I made a short video.

Port tasting in Gaia at Churchills. Recommend this if someone else is paying or the staff accidentally pour a glass of Port over Mrsdivinglawyer. It was spectacular & the smell of Port lingers all the way home.

Does your pet look good in a horsehair wig? Do they deserve to be seen and admired by thousands? Why not dress them up as a lawyer and submit their photo for inclusion in this year’s Law Paw Calendar (www.lawpawcalendar.com)? All proceeds will go to @savechildrenuk.bsky.social
