Pals, do you recall bees swarming at our previous house, in the crook of the arm of the Virgin Mary? The noise was akin to lawnmowers on a Sunday in the UK suburbs. The bees arrived, swarmed and left. Four hours and the entire performance was over. I longed for honey to pour from the Madonna’s foot.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Iran v. New Zealand ended around 8pm in Los Angeles. At 10:07pm, Iran players were on a bus bound for the airport, where they'd fly back to Tijuana. World Cup organizers wouldn't let them stay and recover. This is completely unacceptable. FIFA should not be a political wing of the US Government.

Imagine a world in which we could see job ads saying “we’re looking for someone calm, reliable, who knows how to remain focused” rather than “outgoing, sociable, love working with groups of people”

A President with his lowest approval ratings ever attends an annual high profile dinner he has boycotted for years where an assassination attempt happens. He is prepared to deliver press comments 30 minutes after the shooting where he speaks of uniting the country. Hmmmm....

This little willow warbler flew into our terrace window and landed on its back. It was stunned so I picked it up and it refused to let go of my finger for quite a while. What a little sweetie.

Well, look who I found in my shed. It’s a very young couleuvre de Montpellier I think. This one looks fairly long but I’ve seen sunbathing adults that stretch right across a single track road. The round eyes tell you it’s not one to be frightened of. cont’d….
