We have been waiting 20 hours (yes you did read that right - twenty hours) for @TheRAC_UK Rescue, with no confirmed ETA. Appreciate they're busy, but why are we paying for a broken business model?

Muriel Minter (1897-1983) was an intriguing and comparatively unheralded contemporary of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore at the Royal College of Art. Though more in the manner of Giorgione than Moore, Minter took an interest in the reclining figure in this rare etching from 1929

As someone who regularly rides a legal e-bike (albeit somewhat slower than my traditional road bike), I'm glad BBC Panorama tonight highlighted the no-doubt unintentional role of food delivery companies, whose riders would appear to operate the large majority of illegal e-bikes.

There's much to enjoy, including many Turner loans from private collections, Claude, Canaletto and this jewel-like Claughton Pellew.

at Tate Britain may be an uneven exhibition but its canvas is huge, even without going into the inter-war period, which would have strengthened the 20th century sections. However, there were a number of painters I hadn't caught up with, and there's clearly much work still to be done.
Coming across a cool coffee shop in a grain silo and a well preserved Romanesque doorway is what I call a good afternoon's cycle ride.
