I wish more Labour MPs would stand up and say this stuff. Surely *most* of them hate what the government is doing?

Just *once* I’d like to start the day without being incredibly disappointed in Labour.

Seems like Homeland Security’s Twitter account is being run by a 14 year old. Hope he enjoys his work experience. 😐

I’ve just made my own lavender bags with lavender from our garden, because it smells lovely and apparently moths hate the stuff.
Am I at the forefront of a less planet-exploiting, more sustainable way of living, or have I just become someone’s maiden aunt?

This sort of thing happens to me all the time. This summer I cycled in Majorca and *all* the traffic is *super* polite. Not a single close pass or motorist threatening me from behind.

So now our Prime Minister is looking at ICE in the US and thinking ‘oh yes, let’s have some of that in the UK.’
If I’d wanted this sh*t, I would have voted for Reform. I don’t want it, the vast majority of people didn’t vote for it, and yet we seem to have it anyway. 😞

Final stage and gone was the familiar polo. Gary was resplendent in blue with a chic jacket.Truly an outfit for the ages.
Now we must come to terms with the end of ITV’s coverage; no more Gary, Pete, Ned or David. Gone but never forgotten. Vive le Tour! Vive Gary Imlach!

It’s been a long Tour and Gary’s tired. Today he eschewed his familiar polo for a more relaxed look. There’s little doubt that he’ll romp home in Paris, but Pete must be hoping now that he can take one of the final stages.

Gary’s usual exuberance was smothered by the weather today. We saw flashes of a masterful blue polo, but shrouded in charcoal grey. Pete also struggled with his form, looking very much like a man in a Mac on the London Underground.

Gary looks sleek and classy in a black polo, with aero ribbing to save valuable watts. No one has come close to his level this tour, and with fewer and fewer stages remaining, it seems unlikely that anyone will.

Some challenging concepts here, particularly making a shoe drink. Apart from anything, most of my prettiest shoes can’t be worn in the rain, never mind forced to drink. 😉
