It’s ‘social’ media, people! A completely unexpected and rather wonderful joy to recognise @janecasey.bsky.social at Marylebone and in the 5 mins before my train fan-boy her on just how gripping her writing is. @teaforpterosaur.bsky.social , we missed you.

I am in the dungeon in Windsor Castle. This is why and why I wouldn’t be anywhere else. The works choir is singing evensong in St George’s Chapel shortly. Please tell us to break her leg.

Back at Shell-Mex house literally 40 years since I was last in it. I was an intern (not that we used that word) at Shell between school and university. She has long departed the building, but I’m here to lunch with a friend whose company now occupies part of it.

In a cafe, reading Ben McIntyre’s account of the Iranian Embassy siege; shoulders shaking with silent laughter at this passage. Never mind the SAS, this is the Pride of Britain

Just like the old days! A delight to meet @brummybar.bsky.social IRL on the Chiltern. She is coming up to Town to do God’s work in the Court of Appeal: I’m going to push some pixels around and eat lunch.

What a gig! Birmingham Contemporary Music Group celebrating reggae, Handsworth & Bob Marley. Cutting edge World premier string quartet weaved into classic Steel Pulse. Town Hall sold out: audience young old black white: everyone on their feet at some point. Unconfined joy, everywhere.

The cat has promoted itself to “dog“. It has occupied the miniature schnauzer’s bed and is farting gently at my feet as I work.

This is Middle Temple. We are here at a reception but have sneaked in to the Hall to take these photos.
The first performance of Twelfth Night took place here.
Not sure if it is the original flooring, but it is most certainly the original table.
Thinking of you. Break every leg.
