Having gotten home at 10.20pm, and not had dinner, I talked myself into cooking two duck breast portions I had, and made mash potato. It looked nice, but I made a little sauce out of the duck meat juices/fat, plus some soy sauce, garlic red wine and balsamic glaze. It tasted better than it looked.

Just home now, from a 2-hour badminton session. I think I won about half the games I played, but it’s easy to lose count. This is two nights in a row. Last night was the usual place in Chippenham, but tonight was further afield in Melksham.

Brace yourself for the Crayola Right reducing Burnhamism to Communism tomorrow - and saying "it's never worked!" etc. ...like the last 30 years of privatisation & exploding inequality have been some roaring fucking success story.

We generally didn’t discuss politics, and instead focused on connecting with like-minded folk (some we knew from Twitter, some new), agreeing to all work together to stop the fascists and bots gaining a foothold, and generally being silly/daft/eccentric/whimsical.

For a brief moment there, I thought it was Bono in the picture, celebrating U2’s 50th anniversary by spouting bigoted nonsense on a phony “TV channel”.

Having coffee in bed and watching #SaturdayKitchen on iPlayer as I wasn’t ready for Matt Tebbutt’s annoying chirpiness at 10am. Hipster guest chef with a manbun has just used the phrase “we use heritage grains”, so he’s immediately lost what little credibility he had left after the haircut.

And it was glorious. Only two episodes of the new season were available, with new ones released each Wednesday, but it’s going to be my mid-week treat for the next month. #SlowHorses

Aaaaaaannnnndddd we’re back! All it took was a whole new router and an inordinate amount of configuration. It’s much needed though. I had clients and colleagues mentioning that in the mid-afternoons, my “tethering from the mobile” seemed to drop out a lot.

ARRRGGGHHH! Work was super-busy but OK. Finished at 7pm (instead of 5.30pm), only to have the household internet go tits-up. I did some initial triage on it, before calling Zen. Their support chap was really good and stayed on with me 2 hours, while we both tried various things to fix it. [1/2]

Badminton lesson done (I’m being coached to improve my game, by a child genius. Well OK, she’s 20 but young enough to be my child I suppose) Had a lovely coffee and a toasty in the community centre’s cafe and read some Wodehouse. Now off to see the mothership.

Ended up unexpectedly going out for dinner - to my favourite Chippenham curry house - about four minutes walk from the house. I’m now 85% Chicken Tikka Balti and mixed kebab starter. Home now, and discovered that the second three eps of series/season 2 of #Ludwig are now out.

Bit of a ‘meh’ work day. Had to give up at 7pm as the servers were all being upgraded. Had a nice call with my fave Scottish colleague who was stuck at an airport waiting to get home from a biz trip. Now drinking a gin and listening to Thelonious Monk while I read Wodehouse - peak middle-class!

I’m cooking a half leg of lamb for the first time in ages. I used to do it more often years ago, but lamb has become exponentially more expensive (price rises seemingly waaay above inflation). So this is a medium-rare treat. I’ve started on the wine while still cooking. Starting with this beauty

Home from a long and tiring drive back from Cambridge. A 2.5-hour drive is tiring, but doing on a Friday night, after a day spent walking around Cambridge still jaded from the night before, is a bit much.

Out having post dinner pints at various Cambridge pubs. I’ve found a real ale tap house. Best option so far except all the Gen-Y and Gen-Z and I are being forceably regalled with tales of shagging much younger women, by two pissed blokes about my age. It’s a cringe fest. [1/2]

Drove up to Cambridge last night, and am staying at Hotel du Vin until tomorrow. Before I left, things had gone massively tits-up with a system I’d built, and was supposed to be demoing at 10am today. In fact the other thing I was going to show them also stopped working. So I had a tense evening…

Home from a really good several badminton matches followed by the pub. No dinner planned so I improvised. Using ingredients that needed using up, including some fresh spaghetti, cut up herb chipolatas, chorizo, olives, massive French garlic, leftover roast chicken, spicy n’duja + cherry tomatoes.

I’ve been very down today, for several reasons I’ll not bore you with. I’ve sought comfort in TV, specifically (since I’m currently reading The Inimitable Jeeves) the Jeeves & Wooster series made 1990-93. I have the boxed set. Season 1 was cute/funny. Season 2 has Spode and it’s pure Reform/UKIP

This is where Labour Together's strategy of repeatedly telling the far-right that they have "legitimate concerns" leads. Can we end the facile pretence that the people in Dover have anything meaningful to contribute to political life and call them what they are: violent racists.

Busy day cooking breakfast, doing laundry, did a long/tiring woodland dog walk (see pic), then an exhausting session of badminton one-on-one training, then out to dinner (Italian), before coming home to clean the house at 9pm! Bit knackered now.

Morning all. Epic sleep (for me) - over seven hours. I was up late because of all the red wine which, after you’ve sobered up, keeps you awake for quite a while. Coffee now…possibly outside.
