I can't sleep, so I'm having a conversation with AI in French. I'm not sure if that's tragic or a productive use of technology.

Turns out Andy Burnham and I have the same favourite poem. So that's one thing.

He's a great manager. Did a fantastic job at Bradford. Bradford have brilliant supporters and should be in the Championship at least. A great club that looks after their supporters and are rewarded with fantastic gates.

Graham Alexander has left the club to take up the vacant managerial position at Preston North End, with assistant manager Chris Lucketti joining him at Deepdale. We would like to place on record our thanks to Graham and Chris for their services to our club and wish them the very best for the future. Read ➡️ bradfordcityafc.com/news/202… #BCAFC

I found another alone person - an American study abroad student. I told him all about cricket.

I have just had one of those unexpectedly joyous experiences: met a very nice young American study abroad student in a restaurant and taught him about cricket.

Weird encounter of the day. Old man stopped me in the street and started to unbutton his shirt and asked me to check if he was wearing a vest. Told him I had to run for a train...

An old friend of mine volunteered for many years with the RNLI. I saw how he put himself in harm’s way day in, day out, to help others. RNLI volunteers are heroes. If you’re hounding members of the RNLI, you’re not a patriot. You’re pathetic
