This year’s student neighbour not long moved in seems to play the recorder (quite well actually). I feel like I’m living in medieval times.

Colley Hill, Surrey: coffee break from birding the steep scrub. Love the plaque on the bench I’m sitting on

Tree surgeons working in the neighbour’s yard this morning. Funny as there’s only two of them.

Those pretty dull signs that say “Worcestershire welcomes you” should I think say “Worcestershire: the saucy county”.

Last week I bought a packet of Royal Gala apples from Aldi and I swear they look and taste just like a Pink Lady. I feel like I’ve won the apple lottery.

Pure Gym does not seem to attach any urgency to repairing its equipment these days. We are on another counter now with the pec fly machine (three weeks out of service) which is not great news for my tits.

Gym today a disaster because 1. headphones ran out of battery after about three seconds and 2. crucial piece of equipment out of order and people aren’t good at sharing the one that still works

I was working in a different office today and someone walked past me in the kitchen and fanned themselves and said it was hot. Unsure whether they were talking about me or the ambient temperature.

I’m so sweaty in the gym the print on the back of my T-shirt is transferring to the equipment oops

The argument that the actions of the UK government will make no difference to climate change is basically the same argument some would make to dissuade an individual from starting or joining a trade union. Solidarity is powerful and it can get results.

Well the tape still works but bit upset I didn’t record the EastEnders Eclipse Special. But they are talking to some old folks who witnessed the total eclipse in 1927 😍

I still have a VHS recording of the BBC coverage of the 1999 solar eclipse if anyone wants to watch that

Of course it rains *now* for the first time in literally months while the roof is half off 😭

Day 1 of roof repairs was a total disaster. On an unrelated note would anyone be interested subscribing to my Onlyfans?

I’ve cut myself washing up twice this week. It’s obviously dangerous I should probably give it up.

We’re sourcing our reshuffle news from an alternate timeline of the 1980s…

To summarise yesterday evening, Mr Benn is out of the Cabinet, Mr Healey has returned to the Cabinet and Mr Kinnock has joined the Cabinet for the first time.

Quoted as an image because it’s a friend’s joke from Facebook and I can’t take credit for it.

I see that the M20 has been named the Nation’s Favourite Motorway. You mean the motorway where one carriageway is sometimes temporarily given over to a lorry storage facility?!

Not a good day for counties, a near constant unit of local government in England since 1889. Only Gloucestershire lives to slay another day.

Sat in the garden and the amount of cheering you would think I live in earshot of the stadium. Perhaps it’s on a big screen in town.

So pleased to be enjoying a little beer in the garden after a hard week at the same time as my neighbour is blasting out so-called tunes on their Bluetooth speaker.

It is hot out in Leamington Spa. Big thanks to the olden days council for planting these lime trees as part of a council housing scheme.

Me and the canopy of a lime tree, which is shading the pavement.
