Breakin’ Rocks In The Hot Sun
The most important thing that happened today was the arrival at 09.45 of my grand-nephew, Oliver Raine Walker. Welcome to the world, and congrats to Rebecca and Nick.

I took a walk to the shops today and spent time wandering around one of our local graveyards, which has some fine C17 and C18 memento mori, including one carving described on their website as a Green Man, though I’m not convinced. I like wandering around graveyards: they’re usually very peaceful places. I’m also waiting for Peter Ross’s latest book, A Tomb With A View, to drop through the letterbox and am looking forward to reading it. He’s a fine writer (and Half Man Half Biscuit fan to boot.)

I managed to get some writing done too, another 900 words. I’d worried that I’d written myself into a corner and was going to have to unpick a couple of thousand words, but I think I’ve sorted it. I’ll see how it looks tomorrow when I look it over.

Music: I follow a number of lawyers on Twitter, all of whom are comenting on the latest effusions coming out of Her Majesty’s Government concerning deliberately putting the UK in breach of international law. The comments on the statements of the Law Officers run the full gamut from ‘drivel’ to ‘gibberish’.
So for our representatives, this. I almost posted the Bobby Fuller Four, but nah. The Clash
