Oh, Happy Day. Oh, Happy Day.

UFOs over SE London.

I urge you; no, I BEG you to make good use of the extra second of daylight today. Because the descent into darkness begins tomorrow. The horror, the horror.

An actual use of the word ‘boon’, @vizcomic, in a review (for a food processor). Mrs B, from Essex, shops at @Argos_Online

Run, don’t walk, to your computer/phone to pre-order a copy of this right ripping read. You won’t regret it. Go on, you know it makes sense. deixis.press/books/p/theyou…

☀️ “Bring me sunshine, in your smile. Bring me laughter, all the while”. As Eric and Ernie sang. At 0921 this morning, it’s the Solstice. What does that mean? Oh yes. From now on, the days get longer. 🕶️☀️💃🎉

“Cape Fear with penguins” - Nick Park on his “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl” in the Q&A after a preview at the BFI. The film is FANTASTIC!

I'm truly excited to be working with that human dynamo @angelbelsey at @DeixisPress . The Youngster is coming! #news #newbookrelease #thriller

@RebeccaTheJones @BBCRadio4 Jonesy! Brilliant to hear from you. Thank you. It was a gift. Such fun to do.

@rogsawyer @BBCRadio4 I was listening and just knew you must have been editing. It was genius. Radio gold. x

I think Aggers was right… I didn’t allocate enough time on the ⁦@BBCRadio4⁩ 1800 news for the amount of stupendous cricket packed into one day! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

@jimcockinauthor @BBCRadio4 Thank you! It was a hoot doing it.

@rogsawyer @BBCRadio4 very nicely handled on the bulletin last night - 1800 at its best

It’s a fair cop ⁦@bbctms⁩ - way too much to pack into a minute on the ⁦@BBCRadio4⁩ 1800 - 1’47” in the end! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

Windy. 14,084 mph in SE London.

The thing that makes me proudest of the Olympics TV coverage is that @MJGold chooses to be on the BBC.

Reigning Olympic champion in the 100m semi- final or Kents Vets X-Country… you still have to safety pin your number to your vest. I wonder if they have to bring their own.

I love it that it’s the Olympic men’s 100m semi-final; yet the reigning champion - like all the others - has to safety pin his number to his vest.

So, That’s it. Summer’s over. And we haven’t even had one.

Fuck me; I thought inflation was supposed to be easing.

Front seat, top deck of the 453 (and the driver let me an at a traffic light, not an officially-sanctioned, designated bus stop), sunny morning. Does life get any better than this?
