On a packed and very late train and have stumbled on perhaps the best single page of any novel ever

Did not pick a bad day to go to the test match for once

Sitting here writing,listening to the birds, it is almost nice enough to make me forget I spent the whole of last night sweating rather than sleeping

Cant believe I'm going to defend Streeting but Mandelson defining 'hey, are we supporting war crimes?' as a mid life crisis is not a great look

Is the real Labour party battle the bad right parting over the bad left parting? Is there someone on the back benches with normal person hair that can stand up?

It's been a really long and strange week, so time to chill with a relaxing sound barh

Seeing a picture of yourself on the front page of a newspaper during the Monday morning school run is definitely an odd experience

Me and the eldest did the my9games.com thing, not favourites, but about time and place. Annoyingly his list is better than mine

This is really really weird

Packing up books and remembering when this was our Internet

Good to see that my hometown is now the Guardian's stock image for decline

Started as a quiet Sunday and now it isn't

Tonights listening sorted

The Guardian might want to look into not advertising jobs at the good Tate on stories about the bad Tate

Seems hot enough to once again try to answer the 'can you be a moderately successful academic from a hammock' connundrum that has plagued my discipline for so long

In a shocking development my local Oxfam not only had interesting stuff in it today but also wasn't charging triple the Discogs price for vinyl

I know its not the most important thing in todays news but its bugging me: what f*cking order is this chart in? Its not by tariff, its not alphabetical, its not by population or Olympic gold medals... Who sat and went 'China, the EU... Vietnam? Vietnam is definitely before Taiwan but after the EU'

Don't spend any money this weekend: 0 Loughborough market has vinyl!!!!!!!!: 4

Me: Stop spending money on mid nineties Prince vinyl Also me:

Have to take this one to the doctor's for the first time today after 17 years of daily use

Today's procrastination is accompanied by a classic #nowspinning
