This year’s cake dedicated to all the cat owners at Christmas!

As an ex-Jaguar engineer, the comments about the new concept seem strange. This is what IMO it evokes. And in this way it succeeds hugely.

A very large ginger and white cat lies upside down with his paws all floppy, as a hand (mine) strokes his considerable tummy.

Henry says have a relaxing weekend.

A large ginger and white cat sits upright. His eyes are closed. His demeanour is peaceful. He’s probably trying to manifest some treats.

I think what your timeline might need this morning is a nice calm picture of Henry meditating?

As Henry continues to be keen on exploring gravity, I've decided to restart home education.

Henry's experiments in gravity continue apace. I keep trying to tell him that the core principles have been understood for centuries, but he still insists that replicating the basic work is the only way to learn.

Got my confessions echo from Greatest Hits Radio!

A tiny impossibly-blonde child.

All grown up in academic dress. Still very blonde.

The daughter is 22 today! 22! Completely impossible, obviously. It’s all very odd.

Hmm...

Yep!

We have a Dartford account. Basically we have the pay as you go version to save having to remember to pay. You only get a discount if you prepay.

Behind Trinity College this morning the river is mad and murky, the sky is frankly showing off, and there’s a heron lurking bottom left.

I'm very talented

That'll be my snores

Everyone’s had their Christmas portraits done, as is tradition. Matilda was, as ever, considerably more into it than Henry.

There.., Are... No... Words...

"Toys and Games" - Not my idea of a game (or toy) but each to their own.

Was at a marketing conference yesterday and literally every presentation included AI.

Thing is they weren't actually Intelligent - just artificial.

It’s 7:05 the sky is slowly turning blue. Jupiter is shining bright and I’m thanking all the gods (old and new) that I don’t have to commute to London every day #BloodyFreezing

Proper cheddar.

Sounds like a plan. Veggie burger and chips over here. Brioche bun for the fancy.

Wonderful to hear Mr Carney, old chemistry teacher, getting a name check by @simonmayo.bsky.social on Greatest Hits.

Rarely did a lesson happen without him walking up and down the lab putting out burning equipment or students or spraying them with NH4OH solution to neutralise the fumes!

A huge decorated Christmas tree.

A stairwell decorated with fairy lights.

Paper angels in the chapel.

The housekeeper’s ’dry store’ decorated for Christmas.

Wimpole Hall doing an excellent line in Christmassy goodness today.

A small calico cat reaches the top of a step ladder, which she can climb all by herself because she is weird.

Matilda, ladder climber extraordinaire, continues her quest to enter the loft and fuck up some stored items.

A blonde young woman in academic dress on her walk to the Senate House in Cambridge at the end of her studies.

Sorry for appalling proud mum post but the daughter just found out she got a First in her history degree at Cambridge so we’re all a bit giddy… Here she is sort-of graduating in the summer, but without any marks because of the boycott!

A large ginger and white cat sits upright with his eyes closed, looking peaceful. The fact that this morning he jumped on his sister is a distant memory.

Let’s all take a moment to meditate with Henry.

A large ginger and white cat is fast asleep, upside down. He is bathed in blue light. He looks idiotic, bless him.

Happy Sunday from Henry. He’s not in a nightclub, just under the blue lamp in our living room.

So true!

We all knew that the government's "strategy" for COVID was less of a considered plan than a Roomba on Acid bouncing around randomly, but now it's been confirmed by... the government.
