I’ve a confession to make. I overslept this morning, by rather a lot. Often I’m round by six or very quickly after. This morning I will need to have missed the alarm, the remainder of the family being up, and the solar streaming in and stayed asleep.

The result’s a restricted running a blog output this morning. However possibly two threads yesterday must do, on prime of which I additionally wrote a column for The Nationwide, did a forty five minute livecast with them, began reviewing an educational paper, frolicked with college colleagues on two grant functions (one among which we now know is profitable) and rather a lot else, together with work on a brand new report on wealth taxes. I watched the blended doubles last at Wimbledon final evening and felt actually drained. I clearly was!

So my apologies if there’s lower than typical to learn this morning – however the day job additionally has calls for that should be met right this moment.
