Thanks to Christopher Elliott and Akiko Hirama for letting me peek into the #Tokyo2020 vet clinic today…

Signing off on #Tokyo2020

Really disappointed by the high level of non-compliance with the mask rule on TFL. Don’t believe everyone not wearing one is exempt. Come on, people. Is it that much of an inconvenience? Also, it needs to cover your mouth and nose, not just mouth… or chin. 😷

I have regretfully decided it is too cold to justify taking my playsuit to Bicton Arena 5*. Stay tuned for more vital updates.

Honestly, an Indian restaurant on your own in a strange town can sometimes be the definition of an excellent evening. I really recommend it.

Today I was seventh in a BE90 🦄 and then I answered three questions watching a recorded University Challenge 🧐 and I’m really not sure which is the greatest achievement.

Early start to travel to Institut Equestre National Avenches for the European Eventing Championships this week.

Wearing my town winter coat for the first time since… March 2020, I think. I didn’t ‘go out’ in town last winter.

What part of ‘I’ve forwarded your email to my colleagues - please follow up with them direct, here are their details’ implies ‘I’d like to continue to be a go-between, please just keep bothering me about this’?

It’s minor compared to other wrongs on women this week but only a man would write this & make us feel guilty for taking a bag. Women’s summer clothes do not allow one to store the bare minimum for a night out (phone, keys, a card) in a way that’s safe from dropping & pickpockets.

Nothing says the end of the-show-formerly-known-as-Olympia like a cereal bar on the DLR platform at 11.35pm. Thanks London, it’s been fun.

Londoners. Please. Don’t wait to be asked to move your bag off the empty seat on public transport. Pick up after your dog. Run right into the funnel at Parkrun. We can do better than this.

I’m not sure how many times I (and others) have to say this, but let’s try again. You do not always lose your hair if you have chemo. There are lots of different types. Some do not cause hair loss. (I had 12 cycles. I did not lose my hair.)

Save this… it’s next week.
