Have been listening to 6 Music's Rave Forever for a whole 3 hour train journey. Possibly a mistake as I'm now ready for the weekend on a Wednesday.

If anyone is struggling with the heat, S4C (on iPlayer) is showing Commonwealth Games athletics from very soggy Glasgow. I'm finding it quite cooling!

Excited to be attending #SMSociety in lovely Glasgow this week. Looking forward to talking about archiving UK government social media during the poster session on Tuesday evening.

Spent the afternoon researching in an archive while the archivist discussed archives with a visiting archivist. #lovearchives

Would like to thank my fellow passengers on this moderately busy commuter train for almost all putting their bags on the seats beside them. Argh!

Very much recommend a trip to the "Shot Tower". It's on section 9 of the London Loop if you fancy a longer walk and it's where Crane Parkrun finishes. The island nature reserve next door is lovely too.

Mine is the Longford River which is really a human built water course built to supply fountains at Hampton Court Palace. The nearest actual river is the Crane.

My favorite Twitter prompt was "RT this with your home river," so reskeet this with your home river. Mine is the Patuxent.
