According to the Structural Code, the design life of a house (ie how long it must remain fit for purpose) is 50 years. In Spain but also the UK, I looked it up. Sleep well everyone. In your house.

Vaguely relevant to some of today's discourse in that the Montserrat boys' choir sings on the Rosalía album and it's been a whole SCANDAL, though not for the reasons you'd think.
I think this a gift link, LMK if not and you'd like to read it.

Was hanging out the washing on the roof earlier and could hear it playing from three different directions, which was properly stirring.

What is good on Apple, please? I've seen SH, Severance, Ted Lasso and am not totally convinced by the Ruth Wilson/Emma T thing. But it just shows me permutations of these and eight other shows. Presumably there's more.
