On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise."

I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.

A carol for our times. May 2026 bring some kind of realignment and rebalancing.

Good morning and a very Merry Christmas from a grey and chilly Tokyo.

Just another day here. We’ll be doing our Christmas on Sunday.

Trying not to let the insane noise here, from the builders, do my head in. The wine spritzers are helping.

Whatever you’re doing, enjoy!
Luv&peace

Naturally, I’m now on my second, large white wine spritzer.

Yay.🙌😇🥳
This is my favourite section of the Tokyo Christmas Symphony. Such delicacy and refinement….

Good ol’ Japan. Have the builders using a grinder right outside the window since 8am. Lovely.

Done the laundry. Gonna go shopping in a bit, get some beef mince to make spag bol for the kids for tonight. As I’m out for a bit later this evening.

Have a great day, whatever you’re up to.

🙏🏻❤️🎄

Big whack of snow coming to a lot of the Nihonkai side of Japan tomorrow.
Careful out there, folks.

If you’re a car person and aren’t following Andy, give yourself a Christmas present and do so. Best car brochure curator online by far!

Stocking full of nice chocs and one little present each for Ami and Charlie. Mum’s on the wall near the tree as it would have been her birthday on the 22nd. Christmas for us is happening Sunday. Charlie’s last half day at school tomorrow. Ami at work some of the day.

Happy Christmas to you all.

Lauda was huge for me as a kid. Still is. I’m glad he got to be part of making this movie. And I return to this interview now and again. Just to hear him talk about it.

Gone too soon. But, what a legacy.

Consumers get screwed. Producers get screwed. In farming it’s the feed companies, seed companies, meat packing companies, machinery manufacturers etc etc, who control everything and make the most profit. They even get the bailout money. Greed is killing the planet.

Karen Hao’s book is one of my Christmas presents to myself this year. And this interview is a great intro to her, her intellect, understanding, eloquence and experience.

Would encourage everyone to watch/listen to this.

In this day and age, where attention spans can only be measured with a scanning electron microscope, the hysteria around this achieved what the authorities and Israel lobby wanted. Legally, common sense appears to be prevailing. Which is good news.
An investigation into chants by punk duo Bob Vylan at Glastonbury Festival last summer will not lead to any further action by prosecutors as there is “insufficient” evidence for there to be “a realistic prospect of conviction”, Avon and Somerset Police said.

Every prototype and F1 iteration of the Ferrari 312 was extraordinary. Especially the sound. They detuned, for endurance, the F1 engine for the 312P. It’s Columbo V12 is one of the best sounding. And the car’s styling is Ferrari’s magnum opus, imho.
