I couldn't let the piece on litter and dog walking pass without mentioning that my dog Bertie won a BBC Making a Difference award this year for picking up plastic bottles when we go running together. He's picked up more than 10,000, which are all now in the recycling.

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:
1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

Liked #Frankenstein a lot but I think on a rewatch, it will get better. Loved Jacob in this role and the development from the normal monster role

Another Reform councillor has quit the party. Isabella Kemp now sits as an independent on Kent County Council.
By my calculation, that’s nine Kent Reform councillors gone since May.
Joke party of amateur hobbyists.

As it looked like rain, went for a run instead of a cycle for first time in over 10 years. Prefer cycling definitely but easier to do running
