I'm feeling very attacked by the Vinted algorithm this morning.

Manchester Pride was fun, if soggy.

Went looking for the name of a song from 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'. Google's AI overview really sucked the mystique out of that one.

A Google search for "Whatever happened to Fay Wray" and a response from Google that reads "Fay Wray [...] died in her sleep of natural causes."

Then we went windmill spotting in Leros. Fun fact: the island is sometimes cited as the birthplace of Artemis in Greek mythology. Not her twin brother Apollo though. Strange.

The view from the windmills of Leros at night with the town and harbour all lit up.

Three boats bobbing in the blue sea under a clear blue sky.

A small chapel beside a bay. In the distance, a hilltop is lined with windmills.

Been doing some light island hopping, starting in Symi, which is a beautiful island dotted with rainbow-coloured houses.

A selfie. I am sat in the courtyard of a brightly painted hotel in shades of red and yellow.

A moped is parked across the harbour from a hillside covered in pastel houses.

Went swimming in the sea. Didn't drown. Always an achievement.

Post an album you've listened to 100 times

The album cover of St Vincent's MASSEDUCTION.

A woman is photographed from behind. She is bent forward. The background is bright orange. She is wearing a leopard-print bodysuit, neon pink tights, and high-heeled shoes, and is stood on the right side of the frame.

What inspired me to walk the length of a half marathon on the hottest day of the year so far?

"Whenever I drink water, I always feel like I'm missing out on something." I really enjoyed 'The End of the Rainbow'. Funny and moving, and (goes without saying really) Jinkx Monsoon makes a good Judy.

This was an utter delight. Possibly the most impressive puppetry I've seen on stage, possibly just magic. It's hard to know.

The stage for the play 'My Neighbor Totoro'. It is styled to look like a screen with a blue background and the title written across it in white text.

I went to the new V&A East yesterday. The main exhibition has a very wide scope. I liked this guide to squatting on display on the second floor.

It's that time of year when I come blinking out of my long, miserable hibernation and remember that London on a sunny day is delightful.

I just think birds are neat I guess.

Charmander, an orange lizard Pokémon whose tail is on fire, accidentally causing a grass fire.

Xatu, a green, pink, white and black bird thing, looks like he's tripping on acid.

Altaria. It's a bird but it's also a cloud.

Piplup, a little blue penguin Pokémon, sits under a ledge decked with icicles. There are little yellow flowers in the foreground.

So many roles! So many costumes! So many accents! This production occasionally buckles under its gimmick if I'm honest, but it's very impressive all the same, and doesn't outstay it's welcome.

I was utterly dazzled by St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Sofia. The inside is beautiful too. Lots of peacocks and lions and saints with brilliant gold halos.

Some sculptures on display at the Museum of Socialist Art in Sofia.

A stylised statue of a man wearing a suit and tie. He has blocky arms that extend down to grip the edges of a light-coloured stone pedestal.

A large, dynamic sculpture of a man in a striding pose. His right arm is thrust forward and his left arm is raised high, both with clenched fists. He is dressed in work trousers and a jacket.

A bronze statue of two smiling women wearing headscarves and dresses. One woman stands with her hand on her hip with a tool in her other hand.

Listening to music out loud on tinny phone speakers? Annoying. Subjecting strangers to 15 second snippets of garbled noise and the same section of a chorus eight times in quick succession?

Most photos I have from 2016 were saved from Snapchat when I deleted that app many moons ago. Except, that is, for these. I borrowed my friend's camera for a trip to the zoo.

A selfie taken in a bathroom mirror with a digital camera. I'm wearing a (creased) blue shirt. There's a striped shower curtain in the background.

A sign reads "superb" fruit dove next to a drawing of the multicoloured dove. The quotation marks around superb feel shady.

Another bird. I'm not sure what kind but it has a red beak, brown wings and navybblue feathers on its head and back.

Thank you to Spotify's algorithm for playing every yé-yé chanteuse of the 1960s for me after I put 'Contact' by Brigitte Bardot on. Every single song an 'I don't know what she's saying, but girl, I am living' moment.
