Glorious weekend family celebrations gave my brother the chance to recount (with proof) the tale of when my dad threatened to turn his Clavinet into a planter if he didn’t come and pick it up (long after he’d moved out). Here it still lies. Never call dad’s bluff.

A Clavinet keyboard poking out of the undergrowth in my mum’s garden.

Heading off to the ‘Big Reunion Weekend’ at Cardiff Uni, where I started my academic journey 40 years ago this year. Starting the trip on a nationalised rail service feels about right. Which one for the smoking carriage?

Historic day for women’s test cricket at Lord’s with the first 2 women to get on the honours boards today. All now overshadowed by discussion of the men’s test team 🙄 ENGvIND

NSS results day tomorrow. Like Christmas Eve but if the best outcome is that all the toys you already own haven’t been chucked in the bin overnight. Spreadsheets and RAG rating at the ready.

In other Wimbledon experience news: queued up for the well signposted Plant Based hotdogs only to be told the bread isn’t vegan. Fucking genius.

Love a bit of greenwashed catering. Paper cups made from plants eh, whatever next? Such a relief they aren’t using the leather and shell ones 🙄
