We had a brilliant day - cooling off halfway @hduk Headington and braving final two hours of (warm) rain 😊

Just a week since @caitrionambalfe made #Radio4Appeal for World Child Cancer & yesterday me & cousin @mswainwright with Penny, Rod & William walked (almost) a marathon to persuade family & friends to donate to the cause - still time for you to give too👇 worldchildcancer.org/radio4appeal/

Far from perfect but I like walking. And Rachel and Rod 😊

My perfect cousin @mswainwright has persuaded me to walk a marathon with him this Sunday in the hope of persuading YOU to encourage us by donating to @BBCRadio4 appeal made by the brilliant @caitrionambalfe on behalf of @WChildCancer - there is still time to give generously!👇

I know @BBCNews has a lot on its mind but PLEASE listen to these protesters cos if local news isn’t local then it isn’t anything. Check out #PhilSidey ’s ‘Hello Mrs Butterfield’ for eloquent and entertaining reasons why #KeepBBCLocalRadioLocal

@BBCNews has a lot on its plate but local needs to be LOCAL - read amazon.co.uk/Hello-Mrs-Butt… to see (very entertainingly) why #KeepBBCLocalRadioLocal please

@TheChoirBoy Hi Bernie! That's a nice Magpie Moth whose caterpillar loves gooseberries and blackcurrants. Like me. All well here and I hope also with you 🙂

@mswainwright Hi Martin. Hope your keeping well? I found this moth on the door of my car yesterday, and thought you would probably know what it is?

Hiya! I cleaned out my friends with a sponsored scull down the Thames three years ago, so honestly no pressure. But I’m doing a marathon (walk not run!) for Maggie's Centres on 15 May and thought I’d just mention it. All warmest M #JustGiving justgiving.com/fundraising/ma…

Saudi Arabia only legalised cinemas three years ago. Now it's trying to build a movie industry. For our Christmas issue, I went to the desert to see how it's getting on economist.com/books-and-arts…

More useful reading for those interested in MP standards: the admirable terms and lay membership of the Commons standards committee: committees.parliament.uk/committee/290/…

@steveinnewyork I recommend finding time if at all possible, but the detail leads up to this:
116.Mr Paterson was the one Member who could not approach Ministers or public officials on behalf of Randox and Lynn’s in this way because he was paid by them.

@mswainwright I don't have time Martin. Can you summarize....?

If you have time, I much recommend reading the report of the Commons standards committee on the Owen Patterson case: publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5802/cmse…

THREAD: So last night I won the @locusmag Award for Best Non-Fiction book. Or rather, The Magic of Terry Pratchett did. Here's the "just in case" acceptance video the producers asked me to prepare (I assume they film multiple endings like Drag Race does.) youtube.com/watch?v=X5Io43…

Meet Penny from Thrupp. She's been to see Dr Bike and got her bike serviced for FREE! Penny says: "Since Gary worked his magic on it, it's like a different machine. It feels SO much lighter and smoother to ride!" Keep an eye out for more Dr Bike sessions coming soon!
