Thank you for my education! Whenever I see "Masterpiece Theatre" I picture The Muppets' "Monsterpiece" version. /Heads off to watch some Cookie./

And, there you go. Acorn? Now, I am aware of Netflix and of Apple TV. I think there's a Roku? But I don't subscribe to any of them. This is not my area of expertise!

I do like a good Miles laugh. He's so generous with it, too.

I applied for tickets on both days (ages ago), but only received them for Sunday. I didn't mind, and would have been happy with either, let alone both. We were in the West stand, about level with the try line. But they ran all their tries in down the other side!

We were watching women run around at the Amex. It was good fun. Not been to Ikea yet, although a friend has been four times. Don't think it's been open four weeks yet.

New Zealand women's rugby team warming up ahead of their game against Ireland. Bright green grass, rugby players in all black. In the foreground are official photographers. In the distance, blue seats of the stadium waiting for their ticket holders to arrive.

A different type of day out. And seats right by the action.

Eventually fish outnumber every other kind of shop, it becomes economically impossible to build anything other than fish. So long, and thanks.

If there's a spare still, I'd love it.

The programme for The Merry Wives of Windsor at The Globe. It's placed on a wooden table, with a small coffee to one side.

Does that mean there were no dodos there, either?

I thought blackbirds were the messiest bathers, but a pair of magenpies have almost completely emptied the bird bath.

Bird on a post.

It's a white-topped, black post with a gull sitting atop. Behind is an assortment of sailing vessels.

I've recently changed podcast app, and so all of Page 94 episodes have reappeared. I'm enjoying dipping into them in a random fashion. Episode 71 suggests an update will be forthcoming in July 2025. I trust it is in hand?!

In Mornington Crescent, invoking the Chatham House Rule requires that four of the last five stations are exclusively on the District Line. Thereafter each player has to act like they can’t remember the other contestants previous selections. Its occurrence in the game is mercifully rare.

And now I've had 6 starlings in the bird bath. Which I now need to refill: they're as messy bathers as blackbirds. More so, since they were in quantity.

I quoted "remember this is football, not interpretative dance" the other day, and couldn't think where it came from. As I'd also been singing, "Zinedine Zidane, il est AlgΓ©rian", you'd've hoped I'd've worked it out.

And was it H&P pseudo Play School characters? Billy and Johnny, possibly?

I think I just heard a swift! And now there's an annoyed blackbird on the fence. But a swift! On May day!
