A complete stranger pre-paid an Uber to take me home today after I collapsed in Covent Garden and a kind lady gave me a bottle of water to cure what turned out to be dehydration. By the time I got home I was fine. The kindness of strangers is truly amazing.

When you sing From a tree I can’t fathom a thing But you are sending some thing If only a ping When you land on the seat Are you sending a thought? Don’t go away Little bird I want to hear  what you want to say Soon technology will find a way Till then keep rob, rob Robin along

Huh, so a billionaire who has made a fortune out of a currency widely used to avoid taxation is giving £36 million to Reform to boost democracy. Huh.
