Did you know there’s a free info service on all things sustainable? Cat.org.uk/info - give it a try and actually, why not sign up to their membership while you’re at it? It’s a group that really makes a difference to a world in real need. #sustainability

It’s been a long week. This is a well deserved bit of noisy quiet time. :-)

It’s the unexpected simple things that make life golden. Like over-hearing my 15 yr old daughter singing away to The Smiths, just like I did at her age.

My next book is looking at the history of major energy shifts, and in each case not only technical and economic change, but massive cultural change occurred rapidly and profoundly. The first step towards avoiding climate catastrophe is to really WANT to avoid it.

I think @glastonbury tickets should go on sale on daylight saving hour change day. Narrow the field. :-) #glastonbury2023

Don't call us if your Glastonbury page is blank. Your eyes are fine. The website is not.

Thank you for the feature. It was a great honour to have the opportunity to present at one of my favourite events of the year.

Utterly wrenching, soberingly beautiful. Incredible play. ‘The Father’. Olivia Colman as fabulous as ever and Anthony Hopkins again makes you forget he’s acting. A brilliant piece of directing places you in the quagmire of dementia. #netflix #florianzeller
I'm struck by the replies from under 50s who haven't time, over 50s who aren't ready and over 70s who are too old. The truth is that there's never a perfect time to sit on District Council and, if there was, things would change. If you want to make a difference, do it now.
Good to see the MPC develop. When is the opening due? Looking forward to visiting.
Fabulous vegan maki food at #Glastonbury2022 visit, if you haven’t already. Fabulous flavours and great service. @thehappymaki
