Not sure on #Sterling story? Here goes. *deep breath. You’ve got this, folks.* When £ is weak, it’s more expensive to buy things from abroad, or things priced in dollars, like oil (diesel/petrol). At some point, higher costs are passed on to consumers.

Just got into this lift at the car park & whoever was last in it wears my Mum’s perfume. Instant pang & taken straight back to being small & constantly losing her in supermarkets. Then relocating her by her perfume trail and 80s big hair bobbing above the aisles.

What’s heartening is how incomprehensible this is to so many. The drive for economic growth crowds out that which cannot be given a monetary value. In a world where it’s hard to protect space for such things, this is a reminder to me that there are things that money cannot buy.

A cumulative loss of sleep, or "sleep debt", is being blamed for lower productivity and deteriorating health in workers. Japanese firms are now encouraging employees to use dedicated office sleeping rooms. Could you do with a power nap? Would you take one at work? #BBCBizLive

Unbelievably mild. Nighttime temps also well above average. Checked on my bees. The girls are still foraging in November. Normally the season would be long over & they’d be conserving energy. Thing is, there’s v little pollen/nectar about. So the colonies are being weakened.
