I have two books planned for 2026: "Unhealthy ageing" and "Unpaid carers". 2026 will be the unbecoming of me.

A few years ago we went to a talk and book signing by Richard Hell of the American punk bands The Voidoids, and Television (with Tom Verlaine), at Sussex university. Richard Hell is a big fan of Sinatra. We walked into the lecture theatre to the sound and visuals of Frank Sinatra 🎶 It was ace!

A very long retirement: Sinatra’s bittersweet final years remembered
Frank Sinatra first announced his retirement in 1971, but there would be another thousand concerts. On his centenary, it’s worth remembering that even as his audience dwindled and his voice fell apart...

The Right Honourable The Lord Offord of Turncoat-Garvel, financier, never elected, made a life peer for services to donating money to the Conservative Party.
Reform UK think he will make a great leader in Scotland.
That tells you all you need to know about the ‘anti-establishment party’.

I'm delighted to say that I will be a volunteer judge for the British Care Awards in 2026.
The quality of care, especially in long-term conditions which older people experience, is an existential interest of mine.

One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one.

It is really important for the clinical professions not to reduce public trust further by excessive claims about the 'prevention' of frailty and dementia.
