WHAT a service game! I want this to keep going as long as they can possibly cope.

Come on, sport!

This really could be good, couldn't it? #TheTennis #Tennis #Wimbledon

One of our local cafes has been using our raspberries and loganberries in their baking! Yay!

2. Absurdity is a hallmark of authoritarianism. It's not just that those who believe absurdities commit atrocities. It's also that those who endorse atrocities become absurd. This is where Keir Starmer's government now finds itself.

Morning everyone. Quite a cool morning. I really should go for a bit of a walk now. But the desire not to is strong.

However, having been very lazy the last couple of days, I'll feel very uncomfortable if I don't get it and moving. I'm not good at being too still for too long.

Hope you're all doing well, and the weather is being nice to you.

The photo that I found. Can’t remember whose it was. Makes me laugh out loud.

Lordy this is a bit brutal.

I think this has been far more about Swiatek being great than Anisimova being awful.

But either way, it’s lopsided and looking like an all-time beatdown.

It’s a glorious day and I’m resting slightly after a very pleasant lunch involving, amongst other things, about a pint of each of the following:

🍺 shandy
🍴 couscous
🍅 salsa
🥔 potato salad

…and I’m now eyeing up the ice-cream.

Approaching the end of the afternoon, it's beginning to feel a lot like time for the absolute beauty of Goldfrapp's Seventh Tree.

I spent last week learning a bit of ⚡️neon bending⚡️ at the Glass Center, with one long-time and several new friends.

As it's a full on taps aff day, here (pinched from someone I know over there) is the Facebooks AI gubbins being 1000% wrong about what it means.
Never believe an AI chatbot.

"You should hit Instagram hard until you have enough subscribers to go full-time on the magazine" was a suggestion in a conversation yesterday.

Going full-time is my dream, but I'm not returning to Instagram to make it a reality. ("It's not a principle until it costs you money" said adman Bill Bernbach.)

I guess if “They’ll come for you next” motivates people, then go for it. But damn, I really wish people could start from the assumption that the people they’re coming for *now* are also worth fighting for without any further explanation.
