For one day, I got to imagine what Ant & Dec & a Third Wheel would be like… the conversation was supposed to be about their new podcast but instead, we focused on the joy and horror of turning 50… their joy, my horror

Late contender for headline (and stand) of the year… so nice to read furniture that isn’t SEOed to death (unless search engines are now tuned to partner and bishop?)

When I was nine, I devised a plan to meet Luke Skywalker… it was simple… I would become a journalist and then interview him… didn’t expect it to take 40 years but still…

Very happy to bird bore with you @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social any time… I can play you our top 10 Merlins. Also, we have a tame baby magpie this year. Magpies are ruthless killers but this one is very cute. Ps lovely column

The badger looking at badger graffiti has won the Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year award but this is my favourite by Michel d'Oultremont. A stoat maintaining a low profile in Belgium. Amazing.

Just passing Ratcliffe on Soar, Britain’s last coal power station. Shut for good last September. Eerie.

I’m going to give away the ending… I met a dog called Barbra. She was handling her time at Battersea badly despite the professional care… and then, at the end, she stopped shaking and came to say hello… and Jack caught that moment perfectly

Among many other things, I bought a wolf repellent, a nose beautifier, an anti-riot baton and this “intelligent mute floor sweeping robot” in my AliExpress shopping spree… it said it would activate a new intelligent way of life, quiet and undisturbed #savethehighstreet

Here’s a photo of me looking happy even though I know I’m not going to be columnist of the year because of the person I’m looking happy with @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social (I don’t know if I’m doing this right but I don’t care)
