Campaign for the government to build a state owned music venue in every city which plays a variety of big and up and coming acts throughout the week. Priority tickets given to residents in surrounding boroughs bought via council website. No reselling allowed. I haven't though but do it anyway.

I love how in these pictures of tombs, untouched for thousands of years, look like the beautifully crafted artefacts were chucked in by the baggage handlers at Stansted.

I shout in video meetings because the people are far away. I'm never going to get better at it.

A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾 🐕 😍

About 2,000 years-ago, a dog made its mark for ‘pawsterity’ when it wandered across the wet tile laid out to dry before firing.

From Richborough Roman fort

I did this when I was 12. I never wrote for a national newspaper though.
OMG. The Guardian have confused Kenneth Clark, presenter of the 1969 series 'Civilisation' with Tory ex-MP & former Chancellor Kenneth Clarke in their review of the new BBC series 'Civilisations:Rise & Fall'

There's a guy on the tube reading Hegel and underlining bits with a pencil. Just trying to impress the ladies - so obvious!

Had a pyjama day with the daughter today. Played Switch, watched telly and a film, made tacos, just did a science experiment. She's happy as a pig in shit but my body is very cross I've not walked further than 6 meters without sitting down again.

My great goodness!
German gymnast Johanna Quaas, who holds the Guinness world record as the oldest competitive gymnast in the world, turned 100 yesterday.

She started gymnastics at the age of 56 and broke the record in 2012, at the age of 86, when she performed a floor and beam routine.

A dead whale that beached in Nantucket
Was too big to move in a bucket
Now TNT fails

Wanted to go to Wong Kei last night but the only cash point I could find was out of service. [Insert compelling observation about modern life here].
