Really hitting all the wrong 80-year-olds, there, God.
The view from my hotel window in Edinburgh last night.
Left home 11 hours ago, flew 500 miles, now sitting in an airport 15 miles from my front door because it was $4,000 cheaper to fly from LaGuardia to DC to JFK to Edinburgh than just taking the JFK to Edinburgh flight by itself. #WeLiveInHell

PUFFIN CAM!
National Trust@nationaltrust.org.uk · 4mo agoLike puffins? Do have have a treat for you! Two have set up a home inside a puffin burrow with a camera in it! While they're not likely to lay eggs this year, we can still see what they get up to (mainly sleeping) when they think no one is looking... Tune in here: buff.ly/lj2m9Eh
Having a grand visit to Cambridge: from lunch in hall at Trinity College with Lord Rees, 15th Astronomer Royal and past President of the Royal Society, to a pint of bitter at the pub with Malcolm, local character and expert blagger, who sells his hand-turned wooden pens in the Saturday market.
