KPI—Krazy Punishment Initiators—are a really bad idea. For the most part, they tell you nothing actionable. They and are mostly used as a way to justify punishing everybody but the boss's buddies when bonus time comes around.

An example of how the North is under invested in: the train I just got from the North West had 9 coaches. The train I’m about to get on to Sevenoaks has 10. The first train came from Glasgow and passed through the second most populated region in the UK. Sevenoaks has 18k people
After what seems like a never ending set of obstacles we’ve finally bought a house.

Summer has officially started - I’ve cranked up the air con for the first time this year.
So I just lie here, listening to the sound of my own blood supply. All the while wondering when would it be acceptable to just get over even pretending I know how to sleep? I’ve been on “holiday” since Easter. Not a single night of semi reasonable slumber. The birds begin to sing

Alexa has just told me we should expect up to 1.07cm of snow this evening. Such a precise weather forecaster, she really is amazing.

Local Authorities in the Tier 4 areas tried to close schools to protect families this week! @GavinWilliamson and @educationgovuk sent their lawyers in to keep them open!! Now this... on the day after schools closed. I will never forget and I hope millions others don’t either!

Sebastian decided I needed a late birthday present and gave me a live Pygmy Shrew he found in the garden. I guess from a cat’s point of view that’s a great present and I should be grateful...

Waking up at 6am wasn’t in my plan for today but it turns out it’s not so bad once you’ve had several coffees. Also it’s 920 years to the day since William II was ‘accidentally’ shot dead by an arrow by one of his own men while out hunting - “Hated by almost all his people...”
