Had to put the ring light on for a Teams meeting this morning and it's still on because *points at the absolute STATE of outside*.

If he needs somewhere soft to land, may I suggest Pineham Sewage Works at the height of summer?

It's the sign of a deeply unfair world that he has the opportunity to stand down rather than be very publicly fired in disgrace.

If I'm honest, "The War Between TV and Two Other People" sounds like a much better show to me.

Oh God, London was filthy. I can remember coming home as a kid from days out, and when I sneezed it was *black*. That really couldn't have been good.

I've been to the Museum of Brands too, it's brilliant and because it's all displayed chronologically yeah, you really can see the fads come and go!

The one where he spots Dud stuffing his gob with food in a futile attempt at not losing it and says "You enjoying that sandwich?" to set him and the audience off is also glorious.

Must admit, I'd never even thought about it until he posted the Big Ben photo and then I suddenly realised - that Thames ident was first shown on screen in 1969, long before anyone wondered what colour the building was under all that soot!

What with that and potentially chopping ISA allowances in half to try to force people to invest in stocks and shares, this is shaping up to be a budget that goes down as well as Truss's, if they're lucky.

I've bought it because I don't have much in the way of physical Propaganda stuff and as soon as I've ripped it to iTunes (yes, I'm the one who still uses it) the box will be stored away somewhere. I'm hoping the set is as good as it looks in the photos, certainly the tracklisting is tip-top.

Roxie had just turned 18 when she died suddenly in June. I have two young kittens now and I adore them and they me, but there will always be a patchwork-cat-shaped hole in my heart - she was magnificent.
