Provisions have arrived for our Christmas Eve Eve Eve / last night of Chanukah party.

I also have a tonne of non alcohol, but I’ve got to admit it just doesn’t look as sexy.

If you’re keen on coffee and want a decent machine. Then this is a real Black Friday deal. £450 for this model is very very good.

Rare to see it under £500. Often £600 plus.

I’ve had one for 6 years and love it. Never looked back.

Last year I plastered flags on his house. This year he’s on it like a car bonnet. NLD rivalry is more fun than the game.

I don’t like watching the NLD, it’s just a 90 minute stress fest. But I do like acting like a child before it and wearing any Spurs clobber I can while going about my business. North London is White, don’t let them forget it. COYS.

Yes please. More of this…

The 12 year old boy didn't feel safe in his room, he called Childline. The phone rang, and rang, and rang. It rang for over 40 minutes…

If you've heard me give a plenary speech, you might know the impact that boy had on my life and career.

My phone reminded me this photo is 8 years old today. 🧵

Yep. Stats with us were atrocious.

Looking for these gave me a lot of joy. Thanks Marc.

A five year old will take one weekend of cartoons to watch ten McDonald’s adverts.

That same five year old will be applying for their drivers licence by the time they watch ten healthy food adverts.

An excellent (replicable) way of turning $2million v $750million into a sticky statistic.

Autumn in London. A city that’s both shinier and greener than you realise.

You’re so right about the smell.

We noticed how much fun could be had out there, trying to catch falling leaves on a walk in the woods. The kids love it.

This is Lesnes Abbey Woods in South East London.

Severndroog castle and farmers market. Resplendent today.

The view from the top is extraordinary, I love the bucket of free to use binoculars to help make the most of it.

#SE18 at its finest.

But if they said you’d be below Bournemouth and the same points as Sunderland. You’d be fuming 😂

Autumn in Greenwich Park. Love it.

One for #FundraisingBlueSky. Give a supporter of your charity some joy today. You won’t regret it.

Worryingly easy to stop us scoring. Then do the bare minimum and you’ll come away with something…

Beat the sun this morning at the resplendent St Pancras Station. Hermanos coffee in hand. I’m a happy man on my way to work with a wonderful charity.

Well, @jamiesmart.bsky.social was a lot of fun. Still laughing at the bum in a bush. Thanks Jamie and team. The kids loved it.

Thank you @positive.news.web.brid.gy for another outstanding issue. Full of joy and hope. Marvelling at species back from the brink of extinction, ways to combat dementia, and in tears reading about the Palestinian and Israeli peace project. The perfect antidote to the normal media.

Tasty team that.

Every second packed a punch. Some heartwarming memories, hilarious stories, and a huge sense of pride. Loved it.
