Beautiful clouds over Ally Pally today.

I did this in Scapa Flow too - having never been diving and not knowing what a dry suit was. But as a consequence I ended up snorkelling in November on Islay, and there were seals in the water who played with us. It was beautiful and magical. Go there next. Getting older brings good things.

Sympathy. Our Kipper died on Sunday night. She was 17. Another black and white special.

Little Kipper died last night, after 17 years keeping us company in the most delightful, affectionate, entertaining and worrisome way. We’ll miss her so much. Pictures from her first year and her last. #catsofbluesky

Working today - lovely view of the sunshine through the window.

London rooftops - the Shard in the distance - very blue sky.

Sorting out my dad’s house today - he died recently, age 93 - I found this copy of the Telegraph, 4 September 1939. Seemed pertinent today as we face fascism again. (He cancelled his subscription during Brexit: said the coverage was full of lies & bigotry.)

Hal loves Kipper so much he had a tattoo of her. So she never leaves him.

Close birthday with my granddaughter - mine on Sunday, hers on Thursday. So we made some slime, made some flapjacks and went to see Matilda.

My granddaughter decided to wear her coat and backpack back to front. A visit to the Young V&A generates ideas.

Good thinking. I love it when the pond looks as though it’s boiling, there are so many frogs mating there.

Saw a kingfisher today in Walthamstow Wetlands. Made me happy. Bad picture attached.

Kipper is 18 and, like older women everywhere, knows her own mind and doesn’t tolerate idiots. #cats #carsofbluesky

Is it ok to rave about a friend’s new business here? It is? Okay. I’m raving about Catherine Heath Upholstery- artist, teacher and maker and good bobble hat wearer.

Patrick Hurley MP, speaking at Involve’s 20th Anniversary bash. Thinks we should replace the HoL with a permanent citizen’s assembly (sortition, presumably). Also advocating for PR. #participation #democracy #politicalreform

Feeling smug. Finished the Rapha Women’s 100km ride- Met some delightful women, saw some good countryside and avoided the continuous potholes and promised rain.
