On Sunday afternoon, we went The Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy. This is always a good day out. So many works and such a fascinating mix. And if you find anything you really like, you can buy it too.
I’ve never actually bought anything, but we were saying that next year, if we have our longer-term home by then, we could try to go earlier and actually try to buy something. There would be a lot to choose from!
I’m back in the UK after 2 weeks in Sweden.
The one thing I bring back every time is a big bag of pick and mix candy.
Might this be Sweden’s most important contribution to the world? 😋
My holiday is over and it’s time to get back to work! 💪🏻
Having to rely on public transport rather than walking does have a visible impact on my budget, but not as much as I worried in terms of my daily step count.
When you’ve finished work for the week, but it’s so hot outside that you stay in the office eating ice cream instead of heading out ☀️🥵
Our next flat is progressing very slowly, but today has an important gate to pass, so fingers crossed 🤞
The fact that we have 24 moving boxes we haven’t unpacked yet suggests that even in the tiny flat we had before, we had a lot more stuff than necessary!
Saturday night means pick & mix sweets 😋
On the radio, they said the best part of a world cup is just before a single ball has been kicked and anything is still possible. Hopefully including Belgium winning, as I got them in the office sweepstake!

I just realised I’ve moved to a different hemisphere! I’ve gone all the way from 0.054° W to 0.001° E, about 60 metres across the Prime Meridian!
I’d forgotten quite how old old-style banks are. A standing order can’t go out on the weekend? Does a clerk need to print it out, take it to the accounts department, and hand it to another clerk? 🤨
This is my first commute by public transport in eight years. It takes just under 40 minutes door to door but I’m no longer getting my 10K steps per day.
