Paris is lovely. I hope you have a good time. Hospital time sounds so intense and horrific - I hope the insulin kicks in soon!! Work - glad there is a plan but also that you’re resting too for now ❤️
Hugh Jackman in the 1998 production of Oklahoma. He stands on stage wearing a vest, shirt, and chaps, with hands behind his head, in a scene from the musical "Oklahoma!". The background features a rustic set, including a windmill and wooden fence. Another person sits to the left, dressed in period attire, near a wooden barrel.
Laurie Kynaston and Ben Daniels in the National Theatre's 2026 production of Man & Boy. Laurie is standing and Ben kneels on a table, both in 1930s-style costumes. Behind them is a large board with the cast list. The atmosphere is tense with audience in the background.
Don't say we never treat you 👀

I’m back on the MHCLG blog today, talking about how we in-sourced our system for Homes for Ukraine and what we learned along the way 💙💛 mhclgdigital.blog.gov.uk/2026/04/09/f...
Good ROI!
Also 😅😅😅
Sounds fine
Hooray!
So I think I am saying - good choice ben!
Very cute! I bought a 2018 mini about 3 years ago - though for more money. I regret… mostly as I had to take it to the main dealer to get key fob to work so they told me exactly what was wrong with it. I paid to fix engines and key fob but did none of the other work - passed 3 mots since though!
Josie and the Pussycats is totally jerkin'!
And once again, here's my essay about how fun (and, unexpectedly, to me, anyway, smart) this movie turned out to be:

Selected my sessions already - what a line up ❤️
Really enjoyed this by @evanhd.bsky.social - especially the line about this being the first time since the Stone Age we’ve moved away from burning stuff to keep ourselves warm.
And he’s right about the central problem in Britain: electricity is just too expensive relative to gas (unlike in France)
This sucks! I’m so sorry. Good luck! Wishing good battery life to your devices 😢

Open data innovation still a thing. Gov releases EPC data in machine readable format and Zoopla has a shiny new ‘search by floor area’. get-energy-performance-data.communities.gov.uk
I know this was yesterdays middle age topic and today’s is heat pump -
But people are selling second hand car seats for way more than I’d expect given that everything you read says don’t buy a second hand car seat!
It’s a Samsung - and big as we have a big house. Too dark and phone too dead to photograph model but can do
Day 1 of 4 of heat pump installation. So many people were here today to start work. Good time of year to do it. Not too cold. Have electric heaters in two rooms for the evening. Hot water on immersion until heat pump… not that great. But won’t be long.
I started writing this message and thought - this is one low key way of announcing a second baby 😅😅
(Due 21/4. I’m not pregnant this time. Probably a girl! Stay tuned)(for more car seat questions)
Long shot Bluesky friends - does anyone have the newborn insert from www.maxi-cosi.co.uk/car-seats/ca... ?
The ones on Vinted and eBay don’t look right and I binned mine in a moment of what now feels like madness
Enjoyed reading this! Glad things are… overall positive with some challenging stuff. I really wasn’t expecting gds to be more policy than usual 😅 but I said that already
William Blake’s illustration for “The Tyger” has what appears to be a dippy grin for some reason.
The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night
What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

4 year old: “why are some families two dads”
me: “sometimes two boys fall in love and decide to start a family”
4: “and how many cars do they have”
me: “what”
4: “does a family with two dads have just one car like us or do they have two cars”
