- Neil's first go at waxing leaders on #Warré bars. Comb wax from past seasons (foundation free so no pesticides). Bain Marie. A water-soaked guide piece held against the bar. And that vital tool, a cunningly bent teaspoon. And ... voilá! #beekeeping
- Some marathons are metaphorical

- "It is “too early” to say whether the UK will strip the wife of Bashar al-Assad, Asma al-Assad, of her British citizenship, the prime minister has said." Guardian. Shamima Begum also went to Syria to marry a terrorist & was stripped in 2024. The Met investigated Asma for torture & terrorism
- Sorry to see my MP Diane Abbott lobbying against the assisted dying bill. She argues no safeguards can be good enough: not the experience of jurisdictions such as Oregon. And she attacks the timing, which is determined by the private members bill lottery. www.dignityindying.org.uk/assisted-dyi...
