Arrived 30mins early for train. Plenty of time to get annoyed by robot messages re cctv, smoking and luggage. #
Entirely unnecessary messages since station was all but empty and none of us was smoking, bombing or terrorizing. #
Passing through Market Harborough. No plaque for Jonathan Calder yet. Disgraceful. #
Hmmm. If you’re going to read Sartre ostentatiously on a train, you really should be reading in the original French. #

Oh dear. Cat unwell again. Off to the emergency vet. #
Vet suspects trauma of some kind – flight, fall or car – and suggests X-rays tomorrow if no signs of improvement. #
Fudge off to vet but this morning is active and can walk fine, so no x-ray indicated. Smudge, however, is hiding and not eating 😦 #

Wow, less than a minute with doctor. New record! #

Council document says up to 100,000 people walk down Clumber St on yer average Saturday. #

Looks like something unpleasant is kicking off on Shakespeare st – police line and a crowd. #

In the print cave, listening to the More or Less podcast. Next week, they have a politics special. #
Heh! Medical statistician “prefers not to make statements like ‘right and wrong’.” #

@helenduffett sorry but church bells don’t work like that, and I’m a long way behind in the favour stakes in reply to helenduffett #
Idly wondering if my refound enthusiasm for ringing will get me up for services at 9am tomorrow… #
Fast forwarding through station ident which is presumably only so long because everyone fast forwards through it. #
