That's better. I still think Lehecka will come out the victor, he's been playing better and more consistently, but at least now we've a match on.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. REPEAT: THIS IS NOT A DRILL... THE SHORTS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. Got me legs out and sitting in the garden before it gets too hot, with a cup of coffee and a new book to start. #Bliss #TinyJoys

The only way you can actually get the IOC to redflag you and cost you events is to prevent athletes from attending the event, this is the one thing they take super seriously

Today is the 50th Anniversary of the movie JAWS which was originally released on the 20th June 1975. #Jaws50 It's also your occasional reminder that Robert Shaw who played Quint in the movie, grew up and went to school in Stromness #Orkney where his father was the local doctor. 🦈

This is what happens if you map the latitude of European cities onto North America & vice versa. Some realizations: Most European cities are north of the US-Canadian border. London shares latitudes with an Alaskan island chain. Houston is further south than Cairo. (🧑‍🎨: 7LeagueBoots)

Is it my imagination or is the air quality here in The Great Wen noticeably better post-ULEZ? I stepped out of the house this morning and it smelled fresh and summery, and I'm only metres away from a busy road, and not that much further away from the M4.

I love Lime blossom time of year. I know I wang on about the heavenly smell every year, but I recommend standing under a Lime tree and having a good old sniff. Oh, and I detoured through a different part of Ealing after work and heard swifts at last! #ProperSummer #LindenBlossomAndSwifts #TinyJoys

Another strong rumour that the SMT want to get "rid of books" and replace them with Ebooks. FFS, why do we always have management that hate physical books? Why can't we have physical books (eg, Art, where plates are better to look at than on a phone or tablet) alongside Ebooks?
