Great night out watching three women in a field perform Macbeth.
Partway through, one of them went into the crowd and stole someone's (chicken) wine and proceeded to finish the bottle between them.
Big up the @HandleBards.
Just noticed my phone isn't connected to the mobile network. Do the usual resetting/restarting to no effect.
Ok, maybe a network issue. Guess I'll check my network's status. Hmm...
Really helpful of you @EE.

Interesting poll this.
Britain is pretty much split down the middle on whether Andy Burnham should continue living in Greater Manchester rather than moving into No.10 if he became Prime Minister.
My first thought wasn’t political. It was practical.
What happens if there’s a COBRA emergency at 3am?
No.10 isn’t just a home. It’s the operational centre of government. In a national crisis like a terror or cyberattack, military action or a major civil emergency does the Prime Minister needs to be where ministers, officials and the security services can gather within minutes, not hours?
Perhaps there’s an answer I’m missing, but it does make me wonder whether the symbolism of staying rooted in God’s own country would outweigh the practical realities of running the nation.
Genuinely interested in your thoughts.
Great to be out on the doorstep across Makerfield this weekend with so many friends.
This by election is a big one. We have to come together as a united party and send Reform packing.
I'm not knocking London, especially not the NHM which is amazing, but I don't consider 9 out of the top 10 attractions being in London to be a good thing for the UK as a whole.
The UK is more than just London.
No bones about it, the Natural History Museum is a favourite. 🦖
Being named the UK’s most visited attraction in 2025 proves that history is a massive draw. With 9 of the top 10 UK attractions in London, our culture is in a league of its own.

Statement from the Nobel Foundation
One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.
For additional information, please refer to the Norwegian Nobel Committee: nobelpeaceprize.org/press/pr…
You'd think by now that Johnson would have the sense to back away from #Trump, the Serial Rapist and Serial Paedophile, but apparently not.
Also, Ditto, Daily Mail.
"only 15cm of rain fell between February and June - less than half that expected in an average year"
I'd expect less than half a year's rainfall in only 5 months.
