Husband to a patient wife. Father to a trans daughter and an 8ft son. Increasingly frustrated and angry with the stupidity of the world. Musician. Gardener. Drinker. Straight cis 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 ally. He / him.

It's a rare old day when there are two men and a woman on a telly show and one of them is Richard Madeley and he isn't the most excruciatingly embarrassing amongst them.

I'm imagining a Telegraph reader, munching cornflakes while perusing this. "Those Goddamn lefty extremists besmirching Rod's memory. Who amongst us has not told an un-PC joke or, erm, taken a swipe at his pregnant partner...' [awkwardly gulps cereal] 'or fantasized about seducing Y10 pupils...?'

Amusing to see a number of professional opinion havers getting upset that people weren't mourning a dead opinion haver properly. The poor, fragile souls.

Have surrendered to the heat and retreated to a shady spot for the rest of the day. I love working outside but when you feel like you're being ironed, it's time to hide.

Just heard about the passing this morning of a lovely old fella for whom we've worked regularly for the past 7 years or so. Surely the reaper can't be far off old Don now.
