After a long day at the aquarium, the otters help tidy their toys away. Payment is made promptly and entirely in ice cubes.

Any chance sticking by Carla turns out to be Páuric's downfall? Would require Anna and Diego to have their first ever conversation though.... #traitorsirl

Didn't Siobhán say the new traitor gets to have the final say on who's murdered? Sounds more like a shortlist than a free choice but there was no discussion of contenders for victim. I'm wondering if they're getting Edelle to show her loyalty by disposing of one of her three "sons"... #TraitorsIRL

Whoever is writing captions for the Guardian seems to have run fresh out of fucks.
Screenshot of image on the Guardian. Donald Trump and Gianni Infantino engage in conversation on the site of World Cup final. They are surrounded by yellow things that seem to be falling from the sky. Are they post it notes, flowers? Who can say?

Caption reads: "Gianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the spanish national team."

Chanced upon Bruce Grobbelaar's autobiography, and it has one hell of an opening line
The opening paragraph, with an unbeatable first line: "So many of my family have had legs amputated that they used to call us the 'Hopping Grobbelaars' back in South Africa.

Photo of a tabby cat and a cream coloured small dog, both digging holes in a forest.
The text explains that the dog is a trained truffle hound, finding truffles. The cat is not trained, just likes to dig holes with the dog, does not find or care about truffles.

Quite a lot of people lost someone, maybe an elderly relative, during the heatwave. My Aunt Barbara, very ill with advanced dementia, died yesterday aged 91. She was unmarried, no kids and I had been taking care of her affairs for the past few years. That’s the least interesting thing about her. 1

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

Cesc Fabregas tells a story about the Arsenal squad being invited to the palace after their "invincibles" Premier League win. he expected a polite "and what do YOU do?" from Queen Liz. instead she joyously interrogated him for 20mins about key moments in the season. (she was an Arsenal fan)
