Mr B has put chopped pickled gherkin on the salad. I've married a monster.

Mr B put the tahini in the fridge and now it won't drizzle.

Been enjoying the three BBC jazz ones today. All absolutely tops. Five for a tenner is the icing on the cake. JazzSky

This is why physical media is still so important.

Well that’s the last time I play the tart for you Jerry.

Bought a few Ace goodies from Doc on the village green today.

Mr B just bought the last ice cream lollies in the supermarket.

Absolutely sitting around in your pants weather today.

The butter is very spreadable today.

*bursts into flames*

Glorious cool breeze coming through the house since this afternoon. My toes in particular are loving it.

Back to swimming today. Someone was complaining that the pool felt a bit cold.

Uh-oh.

First tomatoes have appeared!

Text message from my mum: "Hope the tits are ok and u can go swimming xxx"

Not quite two weeks since my last swim and my hair has turned really soft. Seems dunking it in chlorine every other day had an effect.

First rule of introvert club: there is no introvert club. Thank goodness.

Lunching at a boat cafe on the river. There are BIRDS. Those not captured by Merlin include egret, oystercatcher, plus ducks and geese in great number.

Pint of gin, please.

Sensible girl.

The smell of a warm resistance band on a baking summer's morning. 😐

jana: [shouting over music] i don’t even know half these people

@vinylcarbooty.bsky.social I've found THE perfect t shirt for you. In the men's dept in Next, but a t-shirt is a t shirt.

The moon and Venus looking well sexy tonight.

Some typically delicious Dempster wordplay as she watches something so we don't have to.

At the lake near today's car boot was an RSPB stand. I asked the volunteer if he wanted to see my long-tailed tits, which he did, and we had a nice bird chat.

I’m very excited for this! On a summer evening in 1972, a pivotal generation of Harlem Renaissance legends gathered at Duke Ellington’s townhouse. The trailer for “Once Upon a Time in Harlem” is out:

Tit for tat. 2 days old, starting to get crusty.

Skylark singing at 2:54am, wtf.

Only bollards can deliver this much happiness. #WorldBollardAssociation

First cup of tea from a brand new filter kettle.

Kettle's died.

Homemade potato salad when the potatoes are still a bit warm

Lacking a proper Crystal Baschet, I cobbled this together with half a dozen wine glasses, water, a moist finger, and lots of patience. The country was in lockdown. Time was the only thing that wasn’t running short. Double LP, CD, and digital download available now at fasttunes.bandcamp.com

Had to put a jumper on.

And now they are all gone. RIP Sonny Rollins.

At least it's a dry heat. Currently 36% outside.

@avavsystems.bsky.social Spot the Dot.

Swift action! Caught a brief sight of two over the rooftops.

REMEMBER If you encounter a goth in this hot weather DO NOT PICK THEM UP Instead, put a couple of drops of patchouli oil in a teaspoon of water and leave a Bauhaus album next to them, and they should recover pretty quickly

My post-swim tea in the giant Sports Direct mug was refusing to cool down, so I plopped in an ice cube and it's worked a treat!

@avavsystems.bsky.social Spot The Dot (this is a difficulty level of 8/10). 👀

I might actually go to a car boot sale tomorrow.

Under the tree and actually chilly 😄

Saw a hare!

Church book sale was nice. Got a wishlist book for £1.50. 🐦 First Pimms of the year on the way home.

New summer t-shirt. 🌞
