A deeeeep dive into equitable accounting with worked examples from Cameron Stocks and I can be found in this edition of the FRJ (available online and in print). Strictly for the nerdiest nerds, insomniacs, and the poor souls who currently have a cold towel around the head trying to work it all out.

This is a gem of a book on advocacy. Full of humour and solid advice, and has aged well. "If [you need to be] sarcastic or even slightly rude, make sure you are right. To be rude and wrong is fatal, and it has been cynically said, is a privilege exclusively reserved for the Court of Appeal."

The grave of my favourite poet, John Keats, in the Protestant cemetery in Rome. At his own request his name wasn't included and he wrote his own epitaph: 'Here lies one whose name was writ in water', because he felt he'd left no impact on the world. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekIForItaly

This is excellent from @familoo.bsky.social about the recent “story”. It’s nuanced, but is absolutely spot on in the final paragraph: “it’s a shame, isn’t it, that we can’t get so much airtime focused on the real stories playing out in family courts every day”. True of so many justice stories.
