Oh what a day.


I've had a good/varied start to the year.


Our children were whisked off unexpectedly with their lovely friends for the day.


And my darling other half had to study.


So off I set & into Shoreidtch I went, and then left there pretty pronto. If I say it was like the set of Escape From New York then you'll get the picture. The arch by the station was still in the dregs of crusty-rave-mode. God knows what drugs are on the circuit at the moment, but there was a range of faces from green to grey & nobody was looking pretty.


I walked through the city & up through Clerkenwell, stopping briefly to look at the ballistics team searching a taped off area from a shooting in the early hours.


Then a quick spin on the bus to Oxford street, more people off their faces staring/talking at walls/looking skyward. A quick stomp through the back of Soho & more grey/green people looking decidedly shonky.


A very pleasant solo lunch in Won Kei in china town & a read of David Lammy's book, then up to bar Italia to see the Man city kick off. And back into China town and to see the 3.30 film showing at The Price Charles.


They must have known I was coming ( they were showing ELF with Will Ferrell )


"Er..HELLO" only the best film to watch on new-years-day-by-yourself.



Then home & into the arms of my loved ones.


( well the other half was a bit cranky but soon warmed up )


Sausage & Mash, a log fire & Adele at The Albert Hall.


I mean, what more could you ask for?


I suppose a bit of "Hot Yoga" but, y'know....we can't have everything ( & it is a bank holiday tomorrow )

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
