Finally, someone is thinking about those poor millionaires and billionaires 😆

Just embarrassing. Reeves here demonstrating in under 30 seconds why trust in politicians is at an all-time low and @greenparty.org.uk membership is at an all-time high. This, as my children would say, is pure cringe.
Watch as Rachel Reeves brands Greens leader Zack Polanski a 'keen hypnotherapist'
🗣️ 'The only things getting bigger under his approach would be the deficit and the rise of inflation'

This. I naively thought that as a parent I would spend all my time dispensing pearls of wisdom like some ancient sage but turns out most parenting is just steadying the rope as they climb.
Eldest College Kid is on the phone being upset about a midterm grade and torn between electrical or manufacturing engineering. I am being a Good Parent and smiling and nodding while all of this goes over my poor little my-degree-is-in-marine-bio brain.

First Goon Show I ever heard. Borrowed from the library on LP 40 years ago (imagine that!). Love at first listen and still my favourite episode.
On this day 71 years ago:
LURGI STRIKES BRITAIN was first broadcast
It was also Eric Sykes' first joint writing credit on the Goon Show

I’m trying to do more traditional art. Here’s a little study of the Applecross house in pencil crayon. I was trying to see if I could recreate the light shining from the window. I think it’s worked quite well, though the cottage is a bit wonky and the chimney was weirdly disastrous.

Being super-rich is not a good indicator of what you’ve put in, it’s a measure of what you’ve taken out.

Prunella Scales, who has died aged 93, was superb as Sybil in Fawlty Towers and in so many other roles. Here’s my musical tribute to a wonderful actress.

Had a great time with the kids at Pride Park Stadium in Derby last night watching England's Women beat Australia 3-0. Such a lovely atmosphere - lots of families - and we got to see Georgia Stanway thump in her penalty close-up from our seats behind the goal! #Lionesses #England
