I love that room. Looking straight out over the forum. Temple of Saturn to the left.

I hope you went to Bonci, Trappazino and Otaleg food wise.... or Amando. Would defintely have recommended Santo Palato

I wonder if Trump will also be angry at not being included in Wisden's top five cricketers of the year, without understanding the criteria involved.

I just saw an email from work encouraging me to go for mine.

Is there a risk it might make me a better employee?

Local magazine. I was asked to write about the bangers and mash in the city. So I went to a few places and scored them... And they pointed out that slagging off pubs in that local guide, wasn't the best thing for the mag. I had completely missed the brief. Never made the same mistake again.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Current status: Moving the central heating thermostat around the house to find a spot where I can say "it kicked in because it is cold".

The thermostat is set to 18c. If I move it to 19c the heating is guaranteed to kick in.
