China’s risk aversion stalling renminbi globalisation, says economist President Xi renews calls to build a ‘powerful currency’ to be ‘widely used in international trade’

Helpfully, President Xi made these comments after I'd spoken to the economist, making an interesting discussion suddenly newsy

Quite proud of myself so going to enjoy this rare feeling

A white sheet of paper showing that a learner horse rider can control the horse, start a trot without leader and keep balance

I passed my horse riding test! Now officially a beginner as opposed to absolutely clueless

Absolutely. This is the kind of delusion I work with every season

Why not do it anyway?

I’m well aware I’ve entered into my ‘trendy aunt’ stage of life

Quite upset that 6 Music is playing a 'retrospective' of 00s indie sleaze because as far as I'm concerned this music is now and no, 20 years has not passed

Came here after watching knowing you’d have watched it. I love this programme. I do need someone to do a Who Do You Think You Are on my friend Caroline as it seems a lot of people named Lowther own castles, and we need to find out if she’s related to them (and due inheritance)

6 Music have played exactly one Ichiko Aoba song and I am now considering getting tickets for her Royal Albert Hall gig next year

I hate when you see books about sorting your shit out or not giving a fuck and they put the astricks in. Either grow up and swear properly, or choose another word.

A grey British shorthair cat lies on his back showing off his fluffy belly, with his back legs open

Found him. The epitome of decorum

I gave him an unholy quantity of treats this morning and I haven’t seen him since

Thank you. And thank you Daphne. Henry cat is somewhat unsure what is happening but did at least leave me to sleep all night

This is adorable. The poor little thing, looking so snug

Currently out of office on planned medical leave after minor surgery. Mainly posting this for sympathy, let’s be honest. Pics of cats welcome

Up the Toffees!

Ha! Incredible. I wonder who she was. I had to miss it unfortunately, looked like a wonderful evening for it

I’ve not engaged with anything around this book other than the first person who ever mentioned it to me said they came across as awful people and she hated it. So I hope she’s enjoying her vindication/schadenfreude

Japanese banks left NZBA over US fines threat Trump’s stance on climate has raised legal risks for US operations, says senior executive

I did wonder recently if there’s a case for books that are more challenging in terms of language and plot that aren’t too old in terms of content?

Yes Bank sale opens door to more Asian investment in Indian banks SMBC’s stake acquisition is largest cross-border investment in an Indian bank

The RBI's decision to allow SMBC to buy shares in Yes Bank has opened up the prospect of more international banks taking a share of India's banks. With increased regulatory scurtinty on one hand, and a search for yields on the other, it could be a win-win situation
