They all look terrified. Hopefully this doesn't translate to the action on the pitch.

It's called a barking cough but tbh for the last 3 days I've sounded more like the goose who got left behind when the flick took off.

Okay, UKsters, the media is useless re: extreme heat, so let’s do this. I’m from Southern California, spent the last ten years living outside Seattle, which has a similar climate to Scotland, where I am now. Here’s what I know. 1. Heat exhaustion and sickness are no fucking joke. Do not tempt them.

Wow, this is quite a storm! Hail and a power outage (neither one of which is common for our area). Looks like we're not missing much of the match, though.

That time we kidnapped my MIL and took her to England.
London, 2005. Babci having a great time; everyone else is recovering from the flu.

The Last Commute. Dunn Loting was more of a zoo than usual this morning, but "Mother of Pearl" came on the car stereo and I just hit the repeat button and cruised on into work. Think I'll leave the same way.

Got the jokes (including the musical ones) and correctly guessed one of the torch lighters, while outside the weather gods supplied just enough snow to be properly atmospheric, but missed the parade of nations. Looking forward to watching the first part of the Olympics opening ceremonies tonight!

SavannaBananas support staff staying at our hotel, which for Dan kind of makes up for our cab driver not being into sports. Almost all staff had bananas at breakfast; Dan mentioned this to some kids on the trolley and they nearly pissed themselves laughing.

🐧 Happy World Penguin Awareness day! Here’s the Grade I listed Penguin Pool at London Zoo (Berthold Lubetkin and Tecton with Ove Arup, 1934), as painted by artist Alfred Thompson. Sadly, the modernist icon hasn’t had any avian residents since the early 2000s.

Looking at pictures of mail from previous centuries, I'm reminded of the old light-blue airmail letters that were also letter AND envelope. 2 of my best friends from home sent me a letter on one of these when I was doing AFS in Germany; it was covered in food stains from our favorite restaurant.

After months of looking at the listings for my soccer matches of choice and quietly moaning that I don't subscribe to any of those services, I've discovered that they are on Amazon Prime. Happily settled with a brew and #GERBIH⚽️

Ever since I saw a perfectly circular rainbow from an airplane window and missed the shot, I've tried to make sure I have a camera handy, just in case. This is sunrise, right before we arrived in Singapore last year.✈️🗺
