Sorry what? England are still in Kansas. Forget the weather. Does no one understand altitude and acclimatisaton?

Gauff snatching defeat from jaws of victory in the second set. Does Liu have the gas for a third?

Go Lewis! P1 for the Sprint. #F1

1/3 "I can't find the box with my PhD stuff." "It's not in the Garage." "It shouldn't be in the garage. I labelled it Bed 2." "It must be in there then." "No. I've emptied all my boxes and I can't find it." Is it in the summerhouse? "It shouldn't be in the summerhouse because I labelled it Bed 2."

After failing to verify my existence to update my driving licence via the UK gov One Login app on android, I commented to OH why not do this via my government gateway account? He shrugged. Today I found a confirmation email from a previous update ... using my gateway account. Harumph.

Just listening to R5L wittering on about should parents let their children watch the England match because it's a school night. 🙄

Wow. Krejcikova v Andreeva. Huge attack of the yips on both sides but immense win after 6 match points for Krejcikova.

All the women in the PLP telling Burnham half the government should be female. Ladies, I have a wee suggestion. There are 186 of you. You need 81 to nominate a candidate. You'll never have a better chance to be Labour's first female PM given Burnham's track record in losing leadership contests.

Mandate: the authority granted to a government to government and implement their political agenda. What Burham doesn't have.

One of the great levellers of social media is that it allows those with entitlement to demonstrate conclusively that but for that entitlement they wouldn't be in positions of power or influence. And that they definitely have never heard of The Grapes of Wrath, let alone read it.

Public service announcement for UK BSky. The government one login app hates android. Works like a dream on the iPhone. That is all.

£369m for Buck House refurbishment from public funds and KC3 has decided he doesn't want to live there. The sovereign grant has doubled in 3 years. Value for money?

Ten years since Brexit. And still no one has been held to account for the lies told by those who promoted it.

1/2 So perhaps there will be a contest. Darren Jones and Al Carns reputedly mulling their options. Both infinitely better prospects than Burnham. Jones was formidable as chair of the Business and Trade Committee with a strong background in technology and recent experience at the Treasury, if a bit

Anyone else appreciating the timing? Government instability. Another Brexit benefit.

Wonder what Streeting has been promised. Wonder if there's a backbencher of the left (I know) with huge cojones who fancies doing a Sunak and going from obscurity to PM in a few short jumps.

So Burnham won. Followed immediately by demands for Starmer to stand down or there'll be civil war in the Labour Party. Howabout someone actually launch a leadership against Starmer following party rules? The outcome might not be a coronation for Burnham.

Currently on R5L a 2 hour 606 phone in on Engerlund. Following Scotland's win...crickets. "The voice of the UK" but only it appears to be if it the bit with the red and white. See also by-elections. There are 2 in Scotland today but the 'most consequential of a generation' one is in England.

Very minor miracle. My 43 year old stereo which was pretty much consigned to the loft when I got married still lives. Needs a new stylus but wow thank you Sony. Built to last. Now pride of place in the sitting room.

Oh my. Football met baseball at Fenway and who cares what the score was. The Tartan Army had a Red Sox party. Boston you are so going to miss them when they're gone.

Scotland, you have done us proud. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

Scotland has arrived in Boston. It's just our way of being friendly.

I don't believe in an honours system. But today "Sir Kev" actually became Sir Kev. Legend and hero.

Finally able to draw breath after The Move. Sufficiently unpacked to start to feel as if life can be resumed and start investigating the new locale.

Sometimes the offspring do something that you never dreamt of them doing and it be awesome. Not so much for what they've done (but still awesome) but because they've done it after enduring weaponsgrade levels of sh*t over the past few years.

Hello UK MSM. Could you try this with Farage? Please? Straight questions. About the house, the £5m, the other £1m re the 2019 GE, the US funding. For starters.

Masterchef. Worthy winner.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The latest in a growing line of these mega consumers of resources. Details of public meetings in the article.

Hmm. Moving. Stressful enough but not helped by various utilities contacting us to say "sorry to see you go" before we've notified them. They're acting on the sayso of our purchasers. Is this legal? Our purchasers aren't party to any of our contracts. Same with the council. Anyone know why?

Surely Jack hasn't forgotten this? And did Ms Wilson's partner, if any, get hounded by the local media demanding that they should apologise for her crimes?

Do politicians need "verve"?

NEETS. Fuming as Westminster politicians waste the talents of a generation. Every one interviewed by BBC Ten was articulate, presentable and unemployed.

I’m focused on delivering for people in Scotland. This week, we will bring forward plans to cut the cost of living, expand childcare and help first-time buyers. And tomorrow, Parliament can back Scotland’s right to hold a referendum on the fresh start of independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Brokenwood is back. Murder capital of New Zealand.

And of course we've packed the damned fans so packing today is postponed until the evening...

The BBC had a daily podcast on Artemis 2. Shenzhou23 gets a 15 second mention. Both programmes have the same aim.

This cartoon by Ella Baron from the Guardian today actually made me well up a little. We will keep fighting. Together.

Found this during packing. Life seemed simpler before Brexit.

Worth a watch.

Emma, Josh, Johannes. Interesting lineup. #BBCStrictly

Congratulations to @johnswinney.bsky.social on being re elected as Scotland's First Minister.

For all who fret about ferries. HS2 is currently projected to cost up to £102.7bn (that's British billions) and may not now open until 2039. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz... And it's all down to Andrew Adonis who started the ball rolling.

Just finished Legends. So typically British.

RIP Scott Hastings. Scotland and Lions legend.

Andy Burham. Standing to "save Labout". Encapsulates why he's not the right person for the job.

It's possible that the main beneficiary of Labour's current internal troubles will be NHS England. Safer out of Streeting's hands.

A more important story than Burnham's ego.

Lead item on BBC Ten is just toe curlingly awful. John Cole will be turning in his grave.
