This little guy tried to each me today. He took a nibble at each of my fingers to investigate whether I was edible before concluding I was not going to be on his menu.

Luckily not. I’ll be back in London in January. Right now this is my favourite working spot.

In many ways the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals. In order to impress rivals, males seeking to rise in the dominance hierarchy perform spectacular displays: stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks. The more vigorous and imaginative the display, the faster the individual is likely to rise in the hierarchy, and the longer he is likely to maintain that position.

Came to College Lane to park my scooter and found 5 bikes on their side. Obviously someone carelessly hit them and pushed then over. Then saw on one of them the following note. What about the other 4 bikes?😡🤬

Note claiming a John Lewis driver was involved in a vehicle incident.

Today - April 25th - seems a good day to remember that when we speak of fascism we don’t necessarily just think of Germany. We also think of Portugal 🇵🇹 We think of those innocents that were tortured, disappeared or sent to fight senseless wars.

Finally found a good source of veal escalopes in the UK! So I can now actually make a quality Schnitzel again.

A thoroughly enjoyable performance of Shakespeare's Cymbeline. It's amazing how straight forward the bard becomes when actes out compared to a pure reading.
