This is a heartbreaking letter pinned to the door of a fabulous butcher's shop in Newark. It has traded for over 170 years but has been forced to close for the reasons so eloquently expressed. I'm not ashamed to admit that it made me weep.

Our adopted mutt protected us from an intruder last night, is having minor surgery today.

Felt a bit numb at the end of All The Light We Cannot See on Netflix. I had read the book. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t follow the plot line in the book, which has been a best seller, on screen. I’ve read the directors comments, but cutting the end off, isn’t right imo.

The drumhead ceremony at The Festival of Remembrance at The Royal Albert Hall tonight, In front of King Charles, shown on BBC1, had the Ukrainian flag. Ukraine, you are not forgotten.

Is it really necessary to close the Circle, Jubilee, District, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines on Remembrance Day of all days Mayor of London TfL ? Could testing of signalling be done during the night or on any other day? It looks deliberate. mylondon.news/news/transport…
