It's a wet day in Georgia, an amazing and welcoming country, with a fascinating, complex and sometimes tragic history. This is the view from my window. The house is not visible at street level, surrounded by a high wall. So who lived there? Give you a clue, no, it wasn't Stalin.

Introducing kicking off the first talk of the introduction to mental health, one of most popular MSc courses. He promises 400 million years of history in 75 minutes, starting with the ancient and deep. I take that as a compliment. Good luck Derek

This is very sad. Barbara Winton was a lovely person who seemed always to bring joy to a room. She also carried on supporting the same causes and values as her father, without whom a lot of us wouldn’t be here

Barbara Winton visited the Czech Republic several times and wrote a book, which was translated into Czech, describing her father's life story.  expats.cz/czech-news/art via @expatscz

This was so moving. Spontaneously stopped off at the London Bridge station organ to play a couple of pieces for the Queen. This lovely security guard, Marcella, asked if I could play Lascia ch'io pianga. Turns out she trained as a singer! ❤️😭

Chelsea have sacked Thomas Tuchel. He was informed this morning. The decision is not only down to mixed results or a reaction to the poor Dinamo loss alone. It’s part of a wider summer of strategic change, too.
