Doing a bit of genealogy research and finding my 7th great-grandmother (9 generations back) rejoiced in the name of Flower Biddle and in 1705 lived about 3 miles from where I live now. Family research is a lot of fun.

The Bank Job just starting on Sky One. A rare good Jason Statham film with no suspect cod-American accent.

I will never understand why bike racers will not work together to chase down a break. They’d rather guarantee losing than risk a rival winning. I find it baffling.

Some brilliant racing in the women’s World Road Racing Championships. Absolutely no idea who’s going to win.

I have possibly reached peak middle age by putting my name on the local parish allotment waiting list.

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

Eine schöne Bastel- und Malarbeit. Manchmal trägt Obelix den Hinkelstein. Manchmal ist Obelix der Hinkelstein. Dürfte nicht leicht gewesen sein, diesen Stein zu finden. #Asterix #Fanart
Das Bild zeigt einen kleinen, länglichen und nach oben abgerundeten Stein, dessen Form an einen Hinkelstein erinnert. Der Stein wurde rundherum so bemalt, dass er selbst zum Körper von Obelix wird.
Auf der Vorderseite sind Obelix’ Gesicht mit den roten Zöpfen, sein nackter Oberkörper sowie der grüne Gürtel mit großer gelber Schnalle zu sehen. Darunter setzt sich seine typische blau-weiß gestreifte Hose bis zum unteren Rand des Steins fort. Seine Füße stehen auf einer kleinen grünen Wiese, die mit roten Pilzen und Blumen verziert ist. Der obere, dunkelgraue Teil des Steins bleibt weitgehend unbemalt und wirkt dadurch wie ein Hinkelstein, der hinter Obelix aufragt.
Die Rückseite löst den kleinen optischen Scherz auf: Dort fehlen Kopf und Oberkörper völlig. Stattdessen sieht man nur Obelix’ Arme, die sich von beiden Seiten um den grauen Stein legen. Seine Hände greifen hinter dem „Hinkelstein“ ineinander. Darunter sind wiederum die gestreifte Hose und seine Füße auf der Wiese zu erkennen.

Good job we’ve got all these midfielders who can’t pass and can’t defend. Christ on a bike.

Working in Greeland; sunshine and blue skies but not hot. A very welcome change!

Tel and Bergvall have the same issue I think, good young players who are trying to force things/impress rather than playing their natural game, and it’s leading to poor decisions.

Sorry if this has been covered, but how on earth is Sávio injured already? The Tottenham injury curse is only getting stronger, it seems.

How did we not score there? Much better in the last few minutes, starting with a good attempt from Tel. #COYS

Left my running shoes out on the patio and the dry washing out and IT HAS WORKED! Proper actual rain for the first time in a couple of months at least.

Just had a nice chat with another Spurs fan getting off the train in Southampton (I have a little pin badge on my bag). COYS!

First fall failing to unclip in literal decades. Luckily no-one around to see my humiliation, so obviously had to share on here instead. A few bruises, mostly to my ego 🙂 Nice 40 km ride apart from that!

Absolutely not what you want to encounter on your way to work. Luckily wasn’t going too fast as it was a fairly catastrophic puncture.

Cycling to my marshal station for our running club’s local 10K race, then having to deal with drivers trying to drive down closed roads into oncoming runners, is quite the experience in driver aggression and entitlement.

First proper motorbike ride in about 15 years! 2.5 hours out with an instructor (actually 3 instructors), it came back pretty quickly. I had forgotten how much fun and how demanding it is. Next stop, bike MOT and advanced riding training. 🏍️ 🏍️🏍️🏍️

I’m probably a basic bitch but I really do love “An American in Paris”. I still remember the first time I heard Gershwin and couldn’t believe it could be that perfect. #Proms

If anyone hears a distant explosion this afternoon, that will be my theatre-mad youngest daughter coming home from school to find that she has received a personal reply from a fan letter she wrote ages ago to her absolute idol, Lin Manuel Miranda. Don't ask, don't get, ask, sometimes get.

Having lived in Miami for 2 years I can’t imagine playing a high-intensity football match in the late afternoon. The air is like hot soup.
