It must be 30 years since we met Graham Sandeman at a wine show in London, and he first alerted us to the possibilities of port and tonic made with a medium white port. So, three decades later, here we are at his family gaff, enjoying the buzz along the Vila Nova de Gaia quayside

Ooh! So close! Two Diamonds and a Silver on the @thetimes big three puzzles - Picle, Quizle and Wordhunt. Still chasing a Triple Diamond!

Just read in New Scientist about research showing "that what you eat at 40 is strongly linked to your quality of life aged 70." Bugger.

There are known and continuing issues with reading @thetimes via its app, which I assume is supposed to make reading it easier than using the website. I've complained and been told to use the website, where the issues don't occur. Not the most glorious suggestion, I feel.

This is the first #cricket I've watched in 2026. Astonishingly, it's on an aeroplane - the @emirates flight to Auckland. Just watched England very nearly lose to Nepal. Now Ireland - Sri Lanka #mysport24

I always knew that Magnetic North was different from Proper North and that it tended to move about a bit, but I didn't realise how privileged various places in the UK have been over the last three years. This article includes a really interesting map. thetimes.com/article/34401d5…

I got out a test meter, that I have had since about 1968, to test some fuses. I last used it about 5 years ago and it was fine. Not today, though. Its internal battery needed replacing. /cont
