Daffodils in full bloom, a Victorian church in the background, shops to the right.

Daffodils in full effect by the church on the high street. A good sight.

Stand-up rules. Tight five of local material at the top, launch into the boilerplate twenty.

YES! I have that saved as a Word doc somewhere. I keep it alongside Trudi Styler’s diary in the Evening Standard.

Gee, first Venezuelan oil, then Iranian oil. Both of which are hugely important sources of fuel to China.

WHATEVER CAN IT MEAN?

I have used
the Mounjaro pen
that was in
the fridge

and which
you were probably
