That's a lovely piece, and lots of it chimed - not knowing when the call was *the* call, the frantic search for flights, being overly conscious of the 'last' everything. The random bits of sibling humour in the dark times ๐Ÿ’œ

In the car with the 10y.o listening to Tim Minchin's "White Wine in the Sun" and chatting about its poignant message, and how strange it will be not seeing my mum when we go home after Christmas. A lovely moment. Then Spotify autoplayed "The Pope Song" ๐Ÿ˜ณ

If you order a steak to be brought to your desk for lunch you need to be on some sort of register.

What if Prigozhin hadn't abandoned his march on Moscow - would Putin have been overthrown?

Sod it, stick Vince in as Secretary of Defence. Ultimate Warrior as Secretary of Agriculture, and Rey Mysterio as Secretary of the interior

Did you have to do a handstand to hit the bowl?

Yep, hit a fence post and flipped out, avoiding decapitation on the barbed wire fence. Halcyon days

If the government swapped IHT on family farms for an enhanced CGT (with appropriate reliefs), paired with restrictions on overseas land ownership, would solve multiple issues. Land wouldn't be seen as a hedge against tax, value would reduce and cash poor farmers wouldn't have to pay until disposal

Going for a full-scale Day of the Jackal binge. Stopped watching the TV series at ep. 5 to watch the film. Loving the Parisian polis speaking in plummy English accents, and marvelling at how badly Lawrence squandered the gifts of the Fox acting dynasty
