Another day done. Had a surprise visit from my cousin Jane, which was nice. What will tomorrow bring? Nadirs of depravity, or maybe just a trip to Lidl? Time to surf the probability wave to morning!

Tonight we're celebrating 10 years of Rewilding Britain (@rewildingbritain.org.uk). I don't think I've ever come across an organisation which has shifted both public attitudes and tangible outcomes on an issue so fast. I'm proud to be associated.

Ailing car no longer ailing. Brakes, suspension, tracking fixed. Seriously empty wallet, but best to make do and mend. And it'll pass the MOT in the new year.

And up early(ish) tomorrow for some work to try and repair the hole in my savings. Goodnight!
