I’ve ordered a straw fedora. The model in the photo looks wonderful, I’m sure I will too. 🤠

Another Google Home update, still no support for Nest Protect. Oh, and it turned off all notifications for my doorbell as well, which is handy. Trying to find how to turn notifications back on is like a quest in itself. 💻

Polytunnel weather. 🌱

Wooden thermometer hanging on a wooden doorframe. The mercury is just short of 40*C.

Dog walk, before it gets too hot. 🐕

Shane the lurcher on the left, Leela the terrier on the right, pull at their green leashes to move faster up the hilly gravel trail.

I have a Bluesky invite code going if anyone wants it?

A bluebottle is bullying my lurcher.

Ron Mael is the greatest lyricist of all time. 🎶

I love the sun.

A grumpy bearded old man looks morosely at the camera, a hat atop his head

Intermittently on my iPhone, the ‘New Post’ button that should be in the top right isn’t there. If I close the app it reappears. @manton

Insects are trying to pollinate the egg yolk festering in my moustache. 🧔🏻‍♂️

I don’t want to go all ‘Growing up, I only had four channels to watch…’ but how can one possibly watch and digest everything of interest? I suppose it’s like a reading pile now, something that will never be empty. 📚📺

I’ve ordered pizza, because it’s been one of those days. One of those mornings anyway. I just want pizza, basically.

Walking ‘round the DIY store lip-syncing to Wham’s ‘I’m Your Man’. Manliness levels reached that haven’t even been written about.

In your face Spain!

Alcohol free gin and tonic in a veg patch approximately five weeds down. So that’s five less I have to pull over this coming week. 🌱

A glass of clear beverage on a chipped wooden table with an overgrown garden in the background.

Penalties. ⚽️

Think I might have to do polytunnel stuff earlier in the day before it becomes too hot. 🌱

Coventry v Luton in the play-off final. Should be a good game this, no preference to who gets promoted but I think Luton will prevail. ⚽️

I’ve pulled up approximately 1,362 blades of grass. That’s enough for now. 🌱
