Had to buy an emergency shirt on the way home because the photographer doing our headshots at work doesn’t like people to wear patterns. In true BBC style, all my shirts are checks.

First impressions of Death Valley are that it’s quite fun. But I can’t react every time I see a character from Gavin & Stacey (“oh, it’s Dave Coaches”).
