This morning’s walk was curtailed by one participant’s back problems but #sophiefromromania was good enough not to bark and lunge across the road at the sight of other dogs
While I was bleary eyed this morning after getting home from the football at midnight #sophiefromromania was on fine form and was especially pleased when we ran into her friend Chris who handed her treats
This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?
West Ham for a Cup game? A short hop on the Lizzie Line from Ealing to Stratford-sounds fun.
Midnight-home after 90 minute journey from rubbish stadium where somewhere in the distance my team lost a penalty shootout. Never try a panenka said a sleepy #sophiefromromania when I got in
It’s not poor journalism it’s a scam .,
For an author getting a phone call from an American television network wanting to interview you about your book is at first flattering. Then when they ask you, what’s your book Sophie from Romania is about alarm bells start to ring spotlightnetwork.tv/&sa=U&
Not yet! It also has to be said that progress comes in fits and starts - she’s still very scared of lots of things, including wide open spaces
#SophiefromRomania had her most sociable day yet - after surprising us by hanging out with our lunch guests she submitted to a tummy rub in the evening when local friends came round
Friends she’d never met came to lunch and at first #sophiefromromania barked furiously but then she became very friendly and whimpered when they left
In my latest Substack post I explore the Trump administration’s views on ethical codes for AI - “woke” according to Pete Hegseth - and how that should shape the UK government’s dealings with US AI firms Anthropic, OpenAI and Palantir
A fine chilly Spring morning for a walk with #sophiefromromania
#SophiefromRomania has done her bin day inspection duties, rejected her delicious breakfast and gone back to bed
Strange that it is in the letters page of the @financialtimes.com that you get voices calling out Trump’s undermining of the US justice system and his pardoning of fraudsters with whom he must feel some solidarity. And this is the man we should trust?
Jeremy Hunt’s only question when the crooked self-confessed sex pest in the White House asks the UK to jump would be how high?
#SophiefromRomania is in a perky mood this morning
Yes, forgot to post!
Is there a cat, #sophiefromromania ?
On our Sunday morning outing in the park, we often meet a lovely collie called Shuggy and her equally lovely owner. I’m afraid #sophiefromromania always lunges at Shuggy though she does accept treats from the owner. If only we could let her off the lead I’m sure she’d get better
Got a busy day interviewing two top AI scientists and then believe it or not dancing or at least moving to music at a Parkinson’s event this evening. #Sophiefromromania says that sounds exhausting - I’ll just lie here chewing up my bed
This week's cover @thelancet.com
Gawd this US analyst on Paramount/Warner deal on Today is hopeless, nothing to say - must have been the only one willing to stay up
open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... Just after learning I’d been accepted onto a major Parkinson’s drug trial I learned at a fascinating Cambridge conference that AI could one day replace humans in clinical trials
#SophiefromRomania always thinks it’s a good idea to position herself in the kitchen while the prof and I prepare breakfast - despite the fact that her bowl is already full of delicacies which she ignores
A glorious morning out there but #sophiefromromania is not to be distracted from her rubbish inspection duties
It was one of those neighbourhood watch walks with #sophiefromromania this morning
#Sophiefromromania was quite frisky on her play date with Juno this morning. Perhaps she knows the prof is flying home today.
With the prof away #sophiefromromania was a bit nervous about the Sunday trip to the park. But she got over it and had a decent walk in the end
Now that really is an unfair handicap…
Out at 6:50 with #sophiefromromania as without the Prof we had a vast amount to do if I was to get to the #BrentfordFC game. At halftime wishing I’d had lie-in
The Wall Street Journal may be a Murdoch paper but it’s providing C the only effective media opposition to Trump at the moment
