If REG remains in at the end of the round table I will be astonished.

I do feel Richard E. Grant is going to get himself voted off immediately. Or maybe it's a genius strategy. #CelebrityTraitors

As a freelancer, I am often hired because I am efficient and fast and accurate. Which is fine if I'm being paid a project rate, but it really sucks when I'm on an hourly rate and do the job an hour quicker than colleagues.

I've spent a lot of time watching broadcast commentators prep to call a competition in many sports. The BBC gymnastics team seem to be unable to navigate the live results website to a) find a startlist and b) find results. Have they done any prep?

Saw the Odyssey. Haven't been to the cinema for AGES. Enjoyed it. Was also relieved that my bike was still locked to the bike stand outside three hours later.

I watched a really good sports match that went to overtime earlier on. It was the men's under-20 European handball championships final and it was excellent, Hungary winning by two in the second overtime period against the favourites Sweden. Have not bothered with the bloody football today!

Football: just stop the clock when play stops and then we know how long there is left. Then when the commentators say there's 10 minutes to go there's actually 10 minutes and not six-bloody-teen.

For the last TEN DAYS I've been suffering from a leak coming from the flat TWO FLOORS above mine. My upstairs neighbour's ceiling is disintegrating. Have called council (building freeholder) many times. Today called the emergency line. Patrol officer rocks up an hour later: "I've fixed the leak".

I am working at the rowing club today and just popped down to the café to buy a coffee. Mistimed and ended up with hail in my coffee in a 30-second run up the stairs back to my desk. WTF, it's May!

Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park on a sunny Saturday evening was maybe a bad idea just because of the sheer number of people doing selfies. But the light was good and the flowers pretty, so ...

A bright pink azalea is shown in a close-up

Azaleas in pink and red border a still pond, and are reflected in its green waters. There are tall trees on the bank too.

A white azalea is shown in close-up; it has orange highlights on its petals.

A Mandarin duck turns its head coquettishly to the camera. It is reflected in the still pond waters against the reflection of purple azaleas.

Partook in some local democracy and went to hustings for my ward in the upcoming local elections. We only got Green, Conservative and Labour candidates but it was a pretty good discussion. Mood in room quite anti-Tory. Helpful for my voting choice in a couple of weeks.

After spending quite a lot of money on electricians following the dramatic failure of part of my flat's ancient wiring, I wish I could charge as much per hour as them. I basically need to work for four hours to pay for one hour of electrician. And I'm bloody good at what I do.

Am watching Paris-Roubaix. Men's race over almost 30 minutes and only now are we getting live feed of the women's race. Honestly, it's disgraceful.

As it's Boat Race day, I should share this piece I did for World Rowing this week - a lovely chat with Oxford's six-seat Esther Briz, who after today will pretty much have been there and done it all in rowing. worldrowing.com/2026/04/01/e...

I think this Paralympic opening ceremony demonstrates why holding a ceremony three hours' drive from your main sporting hub is a Bad Idea, regardless of how pretty your arena is. Barely any athletes at the ceremony is sad.

Well, all I can say is that it's a good thing I bought two rolls of puff pastry, or else our beef wellington would have been fillet steak with mushrooms and no pastry. The first roll and transfer to baking sheet was a disaster.

Every year I enjoy scrolling through #DuvetKnowItsChristmas from the luxury of the single bed I slept in as a teenager. No complaints, especially having seen many of this year's entries.

Really not a fan of door-to-door fundraisers. I give fairly regularly to charities that I have a connection with, I'm not likely to make a donation to someone because they arrive at my doorstep and start making small talk without even starting with "are we bothering you?"

From this day in 2016. #Halloween

An IKEA instruction sheet for "NOSFERATU" that shows the bald-headed IKEA man telling you you'll need a hammer and a wooden stake for this. The next panel down shows two images. The first has a frowning IKEA man kneeling next to an open coffin while the moon is up. No, IKEA man. Do not do this. The next image is the same, but the sun is up and he's smiling. This is the way, IKEA man. The next panel shows IKEA man struggling to move a coffin on his own. The large black 'X' across this image shows what a terrible idea this is. The adjacent image has the bald-headed IKEA man getting the help of curly-haired IKEA man and moving coffins as a duo is now a doddle. The bottom panel shows a puzzled IKEA man staring into the open coffin while holding the stake and hammer. The last image shows IKEA man being bitten by the swirling figure emerging from the coffin. He's dropped his tools and is looking to curly-haired IKEA man for help, but curly-haired IKEA man has already shit his pants and is giving it legs in a cowardly act of self-preservation. Don't be surprised when bald-headed IKEA man comes tapping at your window in the dead of night, curly-haired IKEA man.

We love the Thames path but don’t like recent changes made by the council. Instead of rumble strips and pinch points, the council could have installed more mirrors to cover blind corners. Wandsworth resident Theo has set up a petition asking to improve the Thames path: www.change.org/p/urge-wands...

French trains are generally great but the admittedly cool double decker thing makes boarding a busy train an absolute nightmare as people try and haul bags and children up narrow steps. And I can't fit my adaptor into the socket to charge my phone - must buy a European USB-C plug.

Having dinner on a terrace at a restaurant in France and one of the women on the neighbouring table is on her third cigarette of the evening, blowing it in my direction. So glad we banned smoking in public places in the UK.

Have just rewatched the 1995 Pride & Prejudice - what a great production it was. It's stood up well over 30 years.
