Today in 1587, Mary, Queen of Scots was executed at Fortheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire, on the order of Queen Elizabeth I of England. Her last stand was the Battle of Carberry Hill, near our home, so Steven Robertson and I traipsed through muddy trees to see a monument. And cute horsies

Having read a terrifying article in The Sunday Times yesterday which mentioned that AI agents are now joining chat groups and talking about humans behind our back, here’s my breakfast. Greek yoghurt with raspberries, mixed nuts, walnuts, sultanas and pomegranate seeds. Enjoy, before Skynet gets us.

Why are US cookbooks so drab compared to UK ones? Surely we need to know what the food looks like?

You know Christmas is coming when @radiotimes.bsky.social starts coming out a few days early so the hardworking staff can get some time off when the Legendary Double Issue arrives.

And hurrah, snow on the masthead!

How’s this for a bargain, the latest JSA DC Finest down from £35.99 to £15.99 at Forbidden Planet UK, surely a glitch? It’s now listed as unavailable, sadly, but I have mine.
