It says a great deal when the President of the United States asks someone to be his new press secretary … and no-one can tell whether, or not, he is serious.

So terribly sad to learn of the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. An actor of extraordinary talent who'll be so very missed. Probably my favourite of all time. I was so very blessed to see him perform twice in person: in The Master Builder in 2003 and Hamlet in 2009.

Folks in England & Wales can pre-book flu vaccines via NHS app. Quick & simple. You can book 2 people at once! Appointments begin 1 October. I believe those in Scotland can do this using the NHS Inform Portal. In Northern Ireland use the Vaccine Service for NI or local trusts.

Rain, at last, in DE3. I didn't hear it, couldn't see it. But that welcome scent of petrichor ... intoxicating.

Watching events in Downing Street. Am a little concerned. New PM Burnham seems to have forgone the podium in favour of a stand microphone. What will happen to lovely Podium Man? Can he double up, or has he gone the way of many ministers?

Please tell whoever wrote Michael Buerk's script for that gold coin advert (the year of 3 kings) that had Edward VIII not abdicated he would have been succeeded by Elizabeth II in 1972. And Charles III would still be king today …

There's something deeply satisfying that a team from Curacao is managed by someone named Advocaat.

This Test Match is a bit like when you have too much fudge - a wonderful abundance of tasty, sweet excitement … and then you get the sugar rush …

Time for the latest phase of ‘Project Look Anywhere But Here’ …
BREAKING: The Trump Administration has just released the UFO files.
The files include videos [shown below] of unidentified aerial phenomena over Greece, Iraq, and the UAE.
It’s worth noting they released the UFO files before arresting a single child rapist in the Epstein files.

Just found best phone app! Merlin Bird ID - identifies & records birdsong. This a.m. heard lots of birds and tested it out. In one, 14-second recording we heard a robin, a great tit, a blue tit and a blackbird! I think I'm what the Gen Zs call 'obsessed'. I may become addicted

The possibility of this has been bothering me for weeks. A repeatedly volatile market like this, surely, needs looking at?
Just 20 minutes before Trump announced the Strait of Hormuz was open—Someone dumped 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures.
A $760 million bet that oil prices would drop.
Orders far larger than anything else in the market at that moment.
They made a fortune.
But somebody knew the announcement was coming.
This is insider trading at the highest level of government.
