When Seattle begins pedestrianizing streets in earnest, I think the London borough of Camden provides a great model. Much of this is dictated by law but they start with a proposal, gather public input, perform a trial, evaluate the results, and then decide whether and how to make it permanent.

Dad's hearing aids are on charge, so he's listening to Classic FM at Wagnerian volume. Incontinence ads sound like the howls of lost souls. Laugh as long and hard as you want, Pam. Will do, Sue.

Another blissful night watching Dad's Australian Border programme. Asian tourists smuggling in food, Europeans smuggling drugs. Enigmatic assassins deciding to go home.

Still remember an ancient HS2 meeting where Frank Dobson was asked about the air pollution HS2 would cause and he said they'd checked and Euston was already stunningly toxic.

Now addicted to my card payment machine. Can I use it to give myself micro payments whenever I do something on my to-do list? If I fit the cat with a chip can she pay me when I feed her?

'Key to Time Petting Zoo' has brightened up my sleep-deprived morning. I just like the phrase. It's not like younger me ever imagined petting the key or anything. Not even the sixth segment.

BUT #TargetBookClub may have a Merch Stall (if any of it turns up), plus the universe's first ever Key To Time Petting Zoo. All this and less on Saturday. bit.ly/smallbluebox
