Wimbledon without line judges: do not appprove. Makes the court look weirdly empty; drains some of the drama; and puts people out of a job. Presumably not their actual occupation, their career, but still.

Bring back the line judges!

I see, the stand with multiple microphones has both a harmonica attached, and different quality mikes, like a lo-fi one to get that loudhailer effect. Even though there’s an actual loadhailer on the keyboards to one side.

Wait, Neil just has an ordinary stand with a single mike now. Was I hallucinating the great cluster of them a few minutes ago?

Well they may not be Crazy Horse, but they’re still pretty damn hot. And Neil himself is in incredible voice.

Just switched to the Glastonbury live feed. Why have Neil Young’s non-Crazy Horse band got such weird mike stands? And why has Neil himself got like fifteen mikes? Very strange.

This must be the latest I’ve set the hammock up since I got it in… oh, 2020?

Yes! The Book of Dust volume 3 is out in October!

The Rose Field: The Book of Dust Volume Three a book by Philip Pullman and Christopher Wormell.

Finally!

Ah, my Letterboxd post finally made it. Just a lag in the feed handling, I suppose.

My Latest Letterboxd post hasn’t synced to Micro.blog (and hence my blog), and I can’t get iCloud photos to sync to my Mac. Or not all of them yet, at least.

Everything’s not quite working. Maybe it’s the heat. 31°C here in London at the moment.

A fortnight in Canada, a long weekend camping in Somerset, and a couple of days back at work. Couple of film notes and now a Crucial Track. Off we go, then, with a Summer of Blogging.

(Or not, let’s wait and see.)
