Women’s hockey QF here we go. Hoping for a miracle🤞
While watching the kayak cross finals on BBC I realised the only thing I’ve been missing from their coverage (through watching on Discovery+) is Hazel Irvine.
Finished reading: The Red Parts by Maggie Nelson 📚
Reading, or watching, anything related to real crimes always feels voyeuristic to me. While it is about a murder and subsequent trial, this book is more about the author whose writing is raw and honest, sometimes brutally so.
Finished reading: Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid 📚
Easy summer read. After Evelyn Hugo I’m happy to read more of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s extensive collection.
Summer means silly events take place on the Quayside. Which leads to road closures and diversions. Which results in grumpy bike commuters #PhotoMo
Some observations from the Olympic hockey - there’s far too much waving of hands to claim free hits and GB women seriously need to add some variety to their short corner routines.
The unexpected benefit of re-employment (and an office in town) is that my use of the library has exponentially increased 📚🐛
Finished reading: An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon 📚
I enjoyed this and as a debut novel goes it’s written well. I’m certainly keen to explore what the author did next.
Poppy and I had breakfast in the park this morning to make the most of a rare glimpse of the sun.
Jettisoning networking in favor of kinworking means taking a more ecological approach, one oriented towards nurturing the soil, planting seeds, providing water and sunlight—and then accepting that you have no control over what grows.

Finished reading: Pageboy by Elliot Page 📚
It’s important we hear trans people tell their stories and this felt like a necessary read. Although, I did find the jumping around through time a challenge to the reading experience.
Got my pal Poppy staying for the next five days 🥰
I forgot that one of the things I love most about Wimbledon is Heather Watson’s mum 😁🎾
Finished reading: Sisters by Daisy Johnson 📚
Unsettling. Daisy Johnson creates such atmospheric worlds. Now I want to re-read Everything Under.
I sacked off work this afternoon to finish this print project. A trial of using Ternes Burton pins for registration ahead of another multi-block project on the horizon.
