Feeling good today. Walked on the Rye this morning with the mists making it beautiful.


Watched the fowl on the lake. Spring has sprung. Fighting between drakes - did a quick head count, not enough ducks to go round - there'll be tears before bedtime.


Fighting between two old coots (for some reason HonaB and TedMax sprang to mind). They float on their bottoms and furiously paddle their feet at each other, [the coots, ie, not HB & TM] very funny to watch.


Only the geese were serene, but they pair up exactly. Suspect grievous incest in their case, but they didn't seem to care.


Spotted two pied wagtails splashing in a puddle which also brings a cheer.


Now I've made myself sad - I didn't realise I was a closet twitcher.

I went to bed at 4am but I'm bright and bouncy this morning thanks to a strong caffeine hit (which is now wearing off). I'm going bowling tonight at that place in Bloomsbury. I am actually expected to bowl, which is very inconvenient as it plays hell with a French manicure and they make you wear really ugly shoes. I may need a little energy boost before then.


I'm loving the adorable little fellow in the photograph.

I am at work and not feeling well, which is about as good an answer as you'll get! I wanted to put up a photo but my stupid desktop won't let me save an image to it because of, oh, I don't know, government stuff I guess. So I can't show you all a photo of how I am right now :(


Maybe I should go home early? Hmmmm....decisions decisions.

And why werent we invited!!?? ;-)

Would you believe it was work?!


Honestly it really was.


I was at the Cabinet War Rooms for a black tie dinner I organised and then got dragged to a bar in Dover Street for a very long time, at 4.30 am I was eating Chinese (second dinner or breakfast?!?) in Soho with 8 very drunk middle aged men and it was some time and many cups of tea later before I finally got in a cab. All in a days work. But ill advised on a Monday.

Argh.... what makes companies think it is a good idea to have a celebratory meal to mark the end of a project on a Tuesday night? :(


Am feeling decidedly fuzzy headed this morning. Hard to keep track of what you are drinking when the waiters keep refilling your glass when you are lost in conversation. Still I shouldn't complain too much, it was free.

    • 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  
    • That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
