Went to see my daughter's favourite band last night #KingGizzard & the Lizard Wizard at #HordernPavilion, with #XiaoXiao supporting. It was a very fun night!

I love coming to the Roseville cinema but I don’t know how they stay in business when their screenings are so empty.

Wondering how big the market is for people that have a king sized bed and that would also like this duvet cover.
Packaging for a duvet and pillow set that shows a large football on a green pitch, with what looks like blue and orange lighting coming out of the ball.

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

My timeline is full of people talking about the soccer game where the player in white uniform was ejected from the field before the offense kicked it the goal hole or something.

No sooner had cooking smells wafted out of the kitchen window of our Airbnb, than this hopeful face appeared over the fence.

Popped in here today to have a look round. Apparently it was the hottest day to be climbing up onto the roof since it opened seven years ago. Felt it too. #COYS

Head in the clouds. Wandering around London today in 35 degree temps probably not the best idea.
Trafalgar Square, with Nelson’s column on the right. The sky is light blue with lots of fluffy white clouds. Looking down Whitehall, Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) can be seen in the distance rising above the trees.

Fighting jet lag, so don’t think I’ll be awake later to enjoy the longest of English summer evenings, but went for a walk round this beautiful little garden this afternoon, just a stones throw from where I grew up.

The opening of this has been an oft sung Dad response to being asked for things around the house, but it’s not a song I ever actually listen to and I only just found out it was written by Paul McCartney. Once you know of course, it’s so obviously a Macca song youtu.be/lfGwWnXfdHQ

And finally the main event. Took my son to see #Deftones tonight, great fun. I hope I am as spritely as Chino Moreno when I get to his age (which tbh is not very far away)
