50p for scale. It's big, right? I mean, not compared to a proper spider, but compared to the wimpy things you have here
Edit: It's on the move!
This is it on top of the radiator. Yes, I have lavender bags I purchased under duress from a neighbour on top of my radiator: and so?

I have just watched, on YouTube, "Run Forever", a documentary about Nicky Spinks setting a new record for the Double Bob Graham Round a couple of years ago (well, she's only the second person ever to do it, so there was a pretty good chance she'd set the record...)
I had tears streaming down my face from about 5 minutes in and still do. I am clearly an incurable emotional softy and Nicky Spinks is my new all-time absolute hero

Double triple recommended!
I think his opening chapter, with its litany of fellrunning legends he reminds himself of to keep himself going ("Helene Diamantides leaving a bunch of snivelling paratroopers in her wake"), is some of the most evocative writing about the outdoors ever.

Army patrolling with police at Liverpool Street Station. Did Boris declare martial law after getting a kicking from the Court of Session?

If he did the news didn't reach Marylebone.
Red beret means military police, either being shown how to do the job properly by a real police officer or expecting a bunch of pissed-up squaddies to create trouble on their way back to Essex.
Austerity means there aren't enough soldiers to declare martial law successfully.

The taxi to the airport will be here soon. I will miss this tree, so confident and what a show off.

Winter will come, and then we will see who is still confident when they are just branches.
Lovely weather there, I see.

Just to be pedantic... what is pictured is not strictly speaking a tree - it's a climber.
Are we going to get any photos of the white trousers?

If you are going to pick me up on my plant identification then you don't deserve any photos of my trousers.
BTW as a much travelled man, have you done Santorini? They do a nice line in Catholic churches.

I hope they are churches and not chapels or even cathedrals, not to be pedantic of course
@Joan when you're sorting out the envy emoji could we have a whistle smilie please?

There is a standard whistle emoji, but it looks like a smooch
How about being nonchalant

I've never really associated nonchalance with playing the xylophone.
