Thanks for all the messages here. They have no idea what’s going on in the world or that they are being laughed at in many countries. In fact they have little clue about anything at the best of times, but anyone who has a dog knows how important they are just now.

Pitching idea for covering London Marathon on Sunday. Pros: Only camera operator payment required - biscuit in Kipchoge’s back-pocket. Cons: Inability to clean camera lens and easily distracted.

A Good New Year to all when it comes and may you approach 2023 with the tolerance of Olive. Or simply be more like Mabel, with her unwavering yet enormously misplaced belief in her abilities.

Delighted that I was able to drop maths at 16 - I lost my way when brackets became involved - and it’s a strange idea to compel somebody to study it until they’re 18. A lot of minds simply don’t work that way and are surely better turned to subjects which really engage them.

Once more, many thanks for the nice comments about ‘Olive, Mabel & Me’. I do feel decidedly awkward about the constant promotion required to sell a book, so have decided to resort instead to threats. To those who haven’t yet got on board, just be careful out there.
