Hundred of years of plundering the colonies of spices for this magnificence.

I'm teetering on changing my opinion about Harry Kane being a one-season wonder here.

Harry Kane is the first Bayern Munich player to win the Ballon d'Or since Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1981. This 45-year gap is the longest between a club having a player win the award, eclipsing the 41 years Real Madrid went from Alfredo Di Stéfano in 1959 to Luís Figo in 2000.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

This is objectively very very funny

A month ago, Sir Jim Ratcliffe lectured the Prime Minister, telling him he should run Britain in the same way he runs Manchester United

I couldn't imagine handing over a massive chunk of the club, as well as operational control, to a tech investor with no ties to the club and, as part of it, bringing a hedge fund founder on to the board. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

I've just walked the dogs and it was a dreadful 20 minutes. For about 90 seconds, it's the heaviest rain I've ever been in. The dogs were running in circles with their bums near the floor because it hurt.

I mean that was very good

Mrs P forgot she had bought Daniel Kitson tickets for us tonight and arranged to go for dinner with a mate. I'm poorly and also forgot and not sure I can be arsed. Thankfully, Kitson is also poorly so he postponed it and reminded us at the same time.

Oh my DAYS

Where's his fucking poppy? Why does he hate our country?

I missed the 'protekt are wimmin' lot turning up to protest this menace. Obviously an asylum seeker in disguise. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Back from Spain but the children flat out refused one more walk of the daft Spaniards for me. Nice to see them anyway. He was eating his tea when we got back so he couldn't give 2 shites.

I'm going to look fabulous on this flight.

Last stroll about and a wanky breakfast that cost more than half of the big dinner last night. Could have done with a bit more rocket on mine.

The evening mooch has started well. Tomato bread and a sausage table followed by snails. Obviously a couple of Vermuts to go with. The snails were sensational.

Right then. On with the eating and drinking day. Braves with scallop and squid croquetes. The squid ones with ink were fantastic.

The rain has gone away but the rivers come up a bit and gone brown. Our usual route took us through the start and finish of a 10k and right into a drumming band. Anyway, normal service has resumed.

We've been out for Pintxos again tonight and then a few drinks. It doesn't fall mainly on the plane, lads, and I'm sad to say we took cover in an Irish pub. Decent beer though.

Sitting outside a Vermuteria. The food isn't so appealing but the drinks are lovely. Mrs P had the Ysaguirre Reserva and I went for the okey-dokey at the bottom.both very rich and slightly sweet.
