Currently at the Star Tavern in Belgravia, closest pub to the German embassy, waiting for my new passport appointment. Look it up - it’s got a history of gangsters, molls, Diana Doors and the great train robbery. The pub, not the embassy.

Magic evening listening to Joan As Police Woman @warwicksrtscentre. Would have preferred with band but hey. Been waiting for this tour for decades, and the minimalist versions of her songs just on grand piano or guitar had a different quality.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

It's that time of year when British friends contact me for tips about holidays in Bavaria. I usually say the same thing: It's great, but expect random Gasthof rules, like when I was told the Wi-Fi would be switched off at 10pm every night to “help everyone sleep better”.

Brexiteers are hailing the 10% UK tariff rate (vs 20% EU rate) as a 'Brexit win'. 1. Brexit wiped out far more GDP growth & tax revenue than UK will save from 10% vs 20% rate. 2. Potential US trade deal won't compensate for lost EU trade. 3. Brexit won't insulate UK from a full global trade war.
