Just had a scam attempt: Someone rang me from a 'charity' to confirm that the books I'd agreed to sponsor would be delivered to the school of my choice. Totally bemused because it sounds like the sort of thing I would agree to, and I do forget things. They were going to charge me obvs.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 25/06/2026
As we have experienced this week, extreme temperatures are no longer a future threat. They are a present danger. Today, I’m launching London’s first ever heat plan: a city-wide plan to adapt our capital, protect communities, and build a climate-resilient city.
Silhouette of Big Ben and surrounding London skyline at sunset, with a bright sun glowing behind the clock tower and casting a warm orange glow across the sky. Below, on an orange background, bold black text reads: “Get heat-ready, London.” Smaller text reads: “Heat Ready London will protect Londoners from hotter temperatures and help us build a more resilient city.” The Mayor of London logo appears in the bottom right corner.

Wonderful day at Christ Church, Spitalfields yesterday for the Affineur of the Year Awards 2026, won this year by The Courtyard Dairy. I ate my body weight in cheese, and enjoyed every second of it. Thanks to @cheesetastingco.bsky.social for sorting this out.
