www.theguardian.com/technology/2... I used to work for a very large UK company which was notorious for sitting on huge amounts of cash and yet also not paying suppliers on time. The fact that this behaviour is still not stamped on shows how much the business lobby is able to influence policy.

Eldest is home. She's Scottish now and not used to this heat, poor girl is wilting. Nice to have the whole family together again ☺️

Favourite two times in junior school: 1 - When the teacher said 'Take out your books and read quietly' 2 - When we all rested our heads on our arms on the desk with our eyes closed and our teacher read to us #BookishTimes

Well youngest and I had quite a few hours wander around the maze that is IKEA. We got most of what we went for and only two things we didn't (a lint roller 75p and some biscuits) so we treated ourselves to their meat balls for being good ☺️

@clockworkdolly.bsky.social Apparently J D Vance was only supended briefly because it flagged as possible imposter. Once he was verified he was back on.

Its going to be a gloriously hot, sunny day. Be sure to drink plenty, wear sunscreen and don't stay in direct sunshine too long. Oh and only walk your dogs early morning or evening, the pavement is too hot for their paws. Enjoy your days xx

Today is the start of #IndieBookshopWeek, so why not call by your nearest indie bookshop, admire their bunting and help them unburden their bookshelves?

When I was young I walked everywhere. Then I grew up and passed my test and started to drive most places. Now, if I can. I leave the car and walk again. It's such a happier journey ☺️
