Via Press Gazette: "The Daily Star’s livestream of the Liz Truss lettuce has been acquired by the British Film Institute’s National Archive for a collection of significant pieces of online video. The BFI’s curator said it was “a seminal moment in British political history”"

Gingerbread cookies on a plate, drizzled with icing. One gingerbread man and two stars.

What to do when the 4yo, who *was* super pumped for Halloween, has now already blown past that and wants it to be Christmas and begged to make gingerbread cookies?

Well, in the case of our family... we made gingerbread cookies. 😆 Because honestly? That was a really good idea, these are delicious.

"What you drinking?"
"Definitely not olive oil and tonic, why would you think such a thing?"

Diwali and #BlueSkyMonday combined. Happy Diwali to all. I met this dancer in Trafalgar Square at the Diwali celebrations and she was happy to be photographed. We need the light, peace & unity.🕯️

I will be extremely surprised if this is actually Mary, from the DM I just got. There's a rash of author-impersonators across social media. I know I've been cloned too. I don't follow people out of the blue and I don't DM to 'chat'. Nor do I recommend marketing strategies etc. Be wary out there.

"Right, what we need to do is knock out the guards, disable the alarms, breach the laser grid to get into the vault (Dave, you're on that), then to the roof and jump on the copter. 2 minutes in and out. Any questions?"
"Boss, why don't we just..?"

Gubeikou section of the Great Wall of China? Completed it 👍🏻
Terrifying start to the day with narrow worn away sections (floods & age) and a sheer drop on each side - no photos & all eyes & mind required.
A lot of steep ups & downs
But - the views. The GOD DAMN VIEWS.
