Movie might, My Generation, with Michael Caine. Excellent documentary about London in the 1960s. Loads of nostalgia. What a time and place to be growing up in.

Cracking piece from Max Walker in Vittles, on the Devon Split, as a vehicle for the industrialisation of London's milk supply. I've never tasted one, but I kept thinking, which came first, the Split or the Marritozzo. Still none the wiser.

Matt Webb refuses to normalise milk from cows, and has some fun observations about how to specify the "milk" in his flat whites and regional variations in London. I don't take any "milk" in most of the coffee I drink, so not an issue for me.

Really interesting essay from Tom Armitage, about getting on his bike and getting on. The thrill of those first long rides takes me right back to my first London to Brighton and the sheer unalloyed joy of whooshing down into the town.

Yesterday’s walk from Islington to Limehouse along the Regent’s Canal. I can think of worse places to live in London.

Struck on my morning walk by this tiny unmoved strip in Whitehall Gardens. I haven’t been here for ages, so I don’t know the general policy, but do London parks go in for reduced mowing and managed wilding at all?

"Meat traders came out in support of vegan activists who occupied Smithfield Market in London last night."

Happy to take your word for it, as The Times won't let me read without registering.

Uh-oh. Asking people to stop eating meat is one thing, stopping people who sell it for a living is quite another. I fear that the blockade of Smithfield market in London might prove to be an XR error.

Squalid London - Craig Murray

I read it, I note that I am unsurprised, and I move on. That is what is wrong with me.
