Brilliant map. xitter.cf/terriblemaps/status/98…
Our cats sometimes sit on my laptop keyboard, and the last two nights they’ve managed somehow to turn on Spotify in the middle of the night.
Last night they were playing Glenn Gould’s 1955 recording of the Goldberg Variations. No wonder they seemed frazzled this morning.
Richard’s death in 2021 was a grievous loss to chambers which I think was felt deeply by all members and staff.

Observations from an unplanned drive from Newcastle to Hove yesterday:
- The A1(M) is a road, but also a state of mind.
- I’d forgotten there were 11 battles of the Isonzo. Cadorna was a donkey.
- I’m excellent at whistling along to music, probably world class.
Could anyone who left a rucksack unattended at Edinburgh Airport please come forward?
There are thousands of people in and around the airport going nowhere while it’s inspected. (Including some on a plane which arrived over an hour ago……….)

These are delightful and, it seems to me, court-appropriate.
(That being the only situation in which I wear a tie these days. Possibly funerals too but again: appropriate.)
I cannot believe this has all happened from one tweet but, by some miracle and some hard work over the past 24 hours, Hedgehog Ties will be available for purchase once again!
After quite a few emails and telephone calls to the wonderful staff of the British Hedgehog Preservation Society and of Ryder and Amies in Cambridge, I've organised a new production of a Navy Silk Hedgehog Tie, the first in over thirty years!
Ties will cost £45 each with £10 of that £45 going directly towards the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (I do not receive a single penny from the sale of these ties, £35 is purely the cost of production + materials per tie)
Pre-orders will be open for two weeks and, afterwards, the ties will go to production! They should take approx. 10 weeks to be completed.
To pre-order your tie, follow this link: ryderamies.co.uk/shop/britis…
The 13yo has already given us a PowerPoint presentation proposing Istanbul (or possibly Ankara) as a holiday destination for half term May 2027.

This is very cool and brings to mind my favourite fact about Tristan da Cunha healthcare(!)
The medical centre is called the “Camogli hospital” after the instagram-friendly home town (where I’ve spent a great deal of time) of two sailors who washed up in 1892.
UK Armed Forces Personnel have conducted a Parachute Operation to deliver critical medical support to Tristan da Cunha - Britains most remote inhabited island overseas territory. Paratroopers and military clinicians from @16AirAssltBCT, jumped from an A400 aircraft during the Op.
