Would someone else mind looking for me? I don't think I'm strong enough.

So much to worry about in the news as we return from a week away, but also sharing a nice moment with daughter Amy in Greenwich Park this morning. Lots of blossom.

The past really is another place. My first thought on seeing this photo in today's Guardian was, 'The children need to see this - Thatcher didn't even have the biggest hair on Coronation Street. That's what 1990 was like!'

You fully know the sort of MP raising questions about Angela Rayner's council house sale - the sort who, when canvassing on an estate, knock on every other door, because they don't realise how small normal people's homes are.

Been a lovely week away in Suffolk, with some drawing, reading and time with friends.
Back to London tomorrow - fortunately a place I also love.

In case you weren't on the Suffolk coast earlier, I'd like to share this double rainbow - too lovely not to.

Against a backdrop of Ukraine’s cases at the International Court of Justice, is inter-state justice a dusty irrelevance, or a key part of a long game to frustrate aggressors and win the peace?

I think I put my Out Of Office on, but just in case, reliably back on 15 April, when I return from my happy place.

My London Club: my thoughts on the Garrick Row.
Is it's all-male membership 'hardwired into professional progression'?
Also some history on sex-based exclusion from law's professional spaces.

Scrambled eggs. Miranda wears Eau d'Oeufs.

Well, someone's shorting knighthoods today - a stock that's def falling fast.

No fault evictions: 'The implementation of the new system will not take place until we judge sufficient progress has been made to improve the courts.' Quoted Law Society Gazette 30 January.
It's not a concession. Govt always planned to let leaseholders down.lawgazette.co.uk/features/home-…

I think George Grundy has a great future on a shopping channel. This is gripping.

Today, ventured out into the dystopian crime hell hole that is Sadiq Khan-ruled modern London - across the park, popping into a French Cafe for a quiche and some bread, stopping to chat with a neighbour, waved at another; picked up a newspaper... lucky to make it back alive, tbh.

They have Alan Titchmarsh in North Korea?!?
What else do they have, I wonder. Just A Minute? Michael Portillo? Mary Berry? Maybe Clare Balding going for a walk.

Germans probably have the perfect word for it - the feeling you get when you look at LinkedIn, then wish you hadn't.

Gegroßmäuliglichkeit, or something.

Anyway, I just experienced it.

Too complex, Kenton; like cricket. #TheArchers
