Met a nice cat, though. He made me cry.

Thanks SC. Just in a very unhappy place at the moment and my career has always been an anchor.

Appreciate you.

Spent all day at my industry's biggest trade show.

Spent the entire day meeting people who are succeeding, whilst I am seemingly unhireable.

I feel like a leper in my own sector.

Feel drained, angry, sad and frustrated. Invited to drinks but couldn't bear it. Running on empty.

But hopefully the smiles for miles that you get with an MX-5 help!

Big positivity your way, @upallnight.racing. You've got this, and when you haven't, you've got us. Hang in there, mate.

It only work if you put some All Saints or Blur on at the same time.

Agree, but I am personally glad F1 hasn't sunk *this* low.

Yet.

A TV screen shows Larry the Cat, Chief Mouser to the Cabinet, sitting on the doorstep of 10 Downing Street, waiting to be let in.

The BBC News chyron reads: "BBC NEWS BREAKING: PM of Italy arrives at Downing Street"

Larry got a promotion, a year ago yesterday.

Oh that is lovely. Does she get plenty of (deserved) attention from other passengers?

Love her little bear!

Game soundtracks peaked here, as far as I'm concerned.

Safe travels Chief.

Your coverage and insight remains some of the very best out there. Appreciate you taking so much time away from hpme and family to bring it to us.

Thanks friend. God no. I don't think I could put up with five hours of meowing in the car!

You may also enjoy BBC Radio 4, which can be similarly soothing but with slightly less focus on current affairs.

Also, you're treated to the Shipping Forecast at 00:48 GMT, which is always a good thing 🙃

Frustrating. You did something altruistic and someone takes advantage of it â˜šī¸

Horrendous day.

Still, heading to London for a few days. Got my bag out only to find it had already been packed.

Feeling like absolute shit today, but this colour is somewhat cheerful, so there's that.
