Useful map within this article enabled me to confirm the blindingly obvious that St Leonards is Exeter's smoke hotpot. Some winter nights, it can be like stepping out into a Dickensian novel in my street. We have clean air legislation for a reason, it is time to strengthen and enforce it.

The first few bees have hatched - about a week or so earlier than usual. Probably due to the warmer weather.

A blast from the past. Reform party reps handing out leaflets outside the ground at Exeter City. Reminds me of the 70s/80s, when you got the National Front doing it. Suspect that if you compared the leaflets, you wouldn't be able to spot much difference. #ecfc

Springtime in Exeter (Devon, UK), and the waiting game now starts for the solitary bees in my garden. It has been a fairly cold start to the year, so it could be another 3-4 weeks. I have a bit of an accommodation issue if they all hatch.

It's hard to believe this is happening. The Dartington Trust, here in South Devon, is behaving like Donald Trump: it seems to have no conception of the value it is destroying. This is its latest act of mindless vandalism. What the hell is going on? www.agroforestry.co.uk/save-darting...

Makes me feel old thinking about how long ago it was that I went to Leicester's old ground for that match. (And the matches after that, as we got to the quarters that season).

Another pre-match pint in the Bowling Green. This time, a pint of Salcombe "Belgica", a kind of malty Beligian style beer. Very drinkable, but at 5%, I couldn't have too many. #ecfc

This pub has a "wall of fame" for customers' dogs. More pubs should do this.

Subject to #StormDarragh, I should be at Stockport tomorrow for the Grecians' match there #ecfc. But ahead of that, am already in the north-west for Burnley - Middlesbrough.

Very pleased to get one of these. Looks great, and I am a fan of @grindrod.bsky.social. Also, I once managed the Highways Agency's relationship with the service area operators, and it was one of the more enjoyable and unexpectedly interesting parts of the job.

A Ministerial resignation for a non-story like this is very unhelpful in the long run. You can see how this will work when stories break in the future. "If Haigh went for that, why doesn't so-and-so resign for this?"

50 years ago today, I ended up in the RD&E Exeter after a garden wall blew down on top of me. Here's the article from the next day's Express & Echo. Got away with a broken leg and 4 fractured metatarsals. Also, look at the incredibly sexist article on Margaret Thatcher, and her food hoard. 1/3
