Went to bring the washing in from the garden and found a pair of butterflies engaged in a little bit of hanky-panky on a sock! I think they’re green-veined whites, but I can’t be certain. I’m sure there’ll be more of them next year.

One butterfly says to the other, ‘I like your sox’.

For any sports/tennis fans here, Channel 4 are showing the Emily Raducanu final live tonight from 9pm. I’ve watched some of the previous rounds and she has been utterly dominant in those games. Amazing talent.

Yep – although I’m an Amazon Prime member I’m very happy it’s on normal TV. Win or lose, she’s been an absolute inspiration.

Yes Phil. Young, talented lass. Much more of a role model for many than some of those muppet footballers 🤣

And probably more amenable than the grumpy Scotsman 🤣😂🤣😂

Just had a storm down our way so hopefully it will deal with some of this oppressive heat! I did manage to get out to our local pond today and joy of joys, the rats are back! The council had managed to near eliminate them a few years ago, but nature finds a way.

About as crazy as the now 30 year old Nirvana baby trying to sue the band for making him a victim of child pornography https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-58327844

So many album sleeves from back then (and especially earlier than Nirvana, who were late to the game) would struggle to get published today. But yeah, suing is a bit absurd, not least as he’s traded on being that baby for so many years!

While there may be artificial intelligence if it isn’t well designed or implemented it is the worst form of stupidity!

It is a strange one, and with SM being a standard means of sharing photos and videos, we now have a situation where there’s effectively an immediate injunction placed on a work before anyone has even assessed whether an infringement has taken place.

You are about 2 months late for the best of the Downs, that is when all the Orchids are at their best. Love it up there especially around Wilmington, it is less touristy and fewer people.

I should be better organized. Wilmington is lovely. We actually have an excellent rare orchid site very near us (Castle Hill), which is also perfect butterfly country. No tourists at all where I was yesterday. It’s only ever locals, dogwalkers and the occasional traveller camp.
