Thanks! I just had a go at the Christmas one, no. 90. Am I right in saying that's one of yours? Anyway, I got through it and had fun doing so 😁

I saw this on the evening of the day my daughter was born... Which I think made it even more transcendent! It's possible that I'd had a glass or two of wine too.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

If you’d like to read the actual 33-page defamation lawsuit Donald Trump has filed “for damages not less than $5,000,000,000”, then here it is:

And the UK government has given it one of the most precious things we have: our NHS data.

Words are not enough to express the folly of this.

I don't want Tony Blair's resurrected ID card bollocks, I want a functional welfare state and for you to tax the rich. It's not complicated. It is, in fact, what Labour ought to be.

We Are The Great North Run | GNR25 | Poem by George Caulkin YouTube video by GreatRunTV

I'm doing the Great North Run for the first time this weekend, having previously only managed a maximum of 10km... Eeek! Love this poem from @georgecaulkin.bsky.social and the associated video, it's emotional & inspirational: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-rZ...

Sad to hear that Jim Lovell has died. I was privileged to hear him talk about his life and experiences a few years ago, and he signed this artwork that I have up on the living room wall, an artist's impression of what the Apollo 13 mission might have looked like. Godspeed, Commander.

Why are #m&s the only UK supermarket who can produce ready meals with plastic films that don't tear to shreds when you try to peel them off? Can they not share this miraculous technology with other supermarkets? You know, for the benefit of all humankind?

Feeling a bit leonine... #ENGESP

Is it just me, or has YouTube recently been flooded by weird US political ads? Rubbish targeting as I'm not even in America!

Too cute not to share :) M is getting her steampunk on!

Baby Matilda looking gorgeous.

I have the greatest of pleasures and privileges to introduce you to Matilda Angelika Watson, born on the 15th of May 2025 at 10:08. She weighs in at 6lb 5oz (2.850kg) and is ginger. She is also impossibly cute 😍

As I was drifting off to sleep last night, the semi-dreamlike state I was in started taunting me with wordplay. Specifically, "a quidditch quid in a ditch on a quidditch pitch". AI has provided me with a helpful illustration of this for your entertainment. Also, 3 Ds? #quidditch
