For the record: I am not a fan of on court interviews 🎾
January to June in the park
Hmm, feels like such a missed opportunity to steal are rare win from Australia today. Kind of glad I couldn’t listen to this morning’s session. In other respects a thoroughly entertaining test match. Excited for the rest of the series and glad to be able to watch the first T20 on the BBC 🏏
Finished reading: A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman 📚
I thoroughly enjoyed spending the last week or so with Ove and I’m going to miss him. This one will stay with me a long while and I can see myself rereading it, which is rare for me.
My family are at Trent Bridge today. Seems like they’ve been good luck for England’s bowlers. Bring on the chase 🏏
Majorly disrupted sleep due to heat and neighbours having a sing-a-long when they got in at 4AM. Decided to get up and watch yesterday’s Premier 15s final. A commanding performance from winners Gloucester-Hartpury and just reward for finishing top of the table.
A chap passing in the back lane as I was getting the bin in this morning complimented me on our yard. He said “That’s canny cute, like” and I wholeheartedly agree with him.
What did Sophie Ecclestone eat at tea? 🏏

It’s a real shame that not a single game of the women’s Ashes series is being played in the north 😢 🏏

Accidentally had breakfast in the yard this morning (was driven out of my usual spot by workmen setting up on the street outside). While I was there I fixed a few problems with my hanging baskets and overly keen tomatoes. Think I’ve discovered a new morning routine for the summer.
Popped into the toon this morning, it’s a beautiful day
Finished reading: Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo 📚
Forgot I had to post about this for it to count towards my reading goal. It’s a charming YA novel about discovering who you are.
Finished reading: My Name Is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout 📚
Quick weekend read.
Test print complete ✅ Work to do on the inking, especially of the blue but I’m super happy with how the design has turned out. This view of a house martin in flight is my highlight of the summer, was watching them play while sitting in the yard last night
Pre-match and half-time ‘shows’ at major sporting events make me sad 😞

Not far into this but can’t help feeling that it’s like an accessible version of Ducks, Newburyport
Starting a new project 🎨
Considering this as a new response when people ask how old I am: “As old as Ghostbusters.”
