And breathe… Still time to enjoy the weekend. Calm water and stunning colors just before sunrise. #NYC Happy Sunday

The #CovidInquiry should be about lessons learnt so that future generations can do it better. This is being run, as so many lessons learnt sessions are, as a witch hunt and therefore is not going to give us anything useful. An expensive missed opportunity.

Bloody spooky

I've just 'settled' a dispute with a seagull by giving them a chip, with 'no strings'. Oddly enough, they've just come back and demanded another one... 🤷‍♂️

My struggle is real 😂

The trouble with Labour is that they're just not at home with freedom. Socialists don't like ordinary people choosing, for they might not choose socialism. That's why Labour wants the state to take more and more of the decisions. “But that's all changed”, we're told. If you
