Power Nappers. From Aristotle to Einstein, Churchill to Dalí, Thatcher and The Queen, a brief history of famous nappers.
Nutrition
Martini Time. New favourite summer bevvy = 50/50 Martini Non-Alcoholic Vibrante and tonic water, ice and wheel o' orange. You're welcome.
Exercise
London Steps. I love walking, especially around galleries. I clocked up 19,180 steps last week visiting van Gogh, Ingres and Picasso in the National Gallery and the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition. Heaven.

Beautiful Medicine. There is no shame in taking medication, whether it's an antibiotic or an antidepressant. I love this celebration of pill takers. Kellie Gillespie takes the mundane and makes it magnificent.
Nature
The Earthworm. I'm growing flowers and a *very* small amount of green beans in my courtyard garden and it's bringing me a lot of joy. As is Dan Masoliver's Substack for gardeners, growers, plant lovers and nature nerds.

Bergstrom Studio. I've just finished a four month consultation with this fantastic publishing consultancy to turn my idea for a book into a finished proposal. Investing in yourself is very rewarding. Got an idea? They've just launched a grant.
