Ah, driving through Derbyshire towns, one would think they were celebrating recently being admitted to the UK. Union flags draped everywhere. Saved us looking at the bungalow that's for sale anyway. So that's good.

It’s Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, everyone. There’s no routine screening for ovarian cancer, and it isn’t picked up by other gynaecological screening (such as smear tests). But if you do think it might be a possibility, you can ask your GP for a blood test and/or a scan.

Can any of my US followers tell me how the Iran war has affected the price of eggs in the US?

I recommend Small Prophets. A slow build over the series as you would expect, but always amusing and laugh-out-load (plus other emotions) by the end.

Legalising and regulating drugs is about reducing the harm and deaths caused by drug use, and treating addicts rather than criminalsing them. It is appalling that Labour and Reform are playing politics with people's lives.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

We HAD to taste the sublime BAL Musette, just so we could take this pic for our socials 😉. Dupont have teamed up with the award winning French brewery Cambier to produce this stunning 7.2% double rye saison. It's in the fridge waiting for you....
