I want to make a pun about SCORMing the barricades here but I'm struggling. Much like the VLE will be with SCORMed unSCORMable content.

This will be a very visible retrenchment of the UK for international science and space audiences. Also of note is the UK’s withdrawal of contributions from the Hawai’i and Chile telescopes.

UKRI have cut the surprisingly small amount of money needed to keep Jodrell Bank, third largest moving radio telescope in the world, running. c.org/q2XVpHW6vm

If you find one let me know, they seem to be cut with Carry On films in mind

Oh he's a handsome boy, he's just been stretching. His skin.

I worry sometimes that my response to AI might merely be regressive or reactionary and then every day I read shit like this and I think, no, I’m correct, these people have become completely untethered from the reality the rest of us share.

I have been known to try the tube pass or the car keys at the front door, too.

I was once helped very gently and sympathetically by a TFL chap at Hendon tube station, who carefully took my house keys out of my hand and explained why they weren't opening the tube gate.

Today we met a pair of sulcata tortoises who know Steve Backshall, children's TV presenter, explorer and naturalist. Think Irwin rather than Attenborough, but more burly. Big girl LOVES him so was very thrilled when the tortoises' owner explained that they are friends!

I am desperately lacking in decent windowsills. All the good ones are south facing and incredibly hot. Even my jade plant went red around the edges. But yes, I might find space for another 😁

I have repotted my only orchid. I have no idea what I'm doing with them so I guess we'll see what happens. But I've got a bag of orchid potting mix now so may need to buy more.

I *just* went to Coscto and t'husband didn't tell me we were nearly out of instant coffee.

I think the lovely archaeologist from the museum might have been a bit cross tbh

Also, today I held a 500,000 year old stone hand axe so that was frankly almost as good as having a glowing school report.

I have just had to tell her off for chewing the remote control, mind

My big girl got an absolutely fabulous first school report and I am posting it to all the grandparents and aunties. I'm taking full credit for this, clearly am the best at mumming.

Del Amitri had it right in the best football song ever written, didn't they. Just don't come home too soon.

Right? In the whole world!

Ffs people. What went wrong was that a) the other side were slightly better than England. And b) you are all way too emotionally invested in some semi-attractive lads punting a ball around. Trying being more insouciant as a nation next time, and not playing the world's best players team.

On so many levels! We're all big binface fans here
