Voice of Richie Benaud: “And with Joe Root only 2 runs shy of his maiden Ashes century here in Adelaide, listeners on longwave are leaving us for a moment to hear the tipping forecast…”

Remote today. At the ground yesterday.

The quality english batters are at the top for their domestic sides, then we go into internationals with batters who don't know how to bat in the middle order. It's why moving Jones up to open never made sense to me.

Slow, spinning pitches should have offered a chance to shine eg. Pakistan v England.

If I were New Zealand, Sri Lanka, or Pakistan, I'd be pretty grumpy.

All the traffic lights are out at the Tollcross Junction of Lothian Road. Not much traffic and no issues yet.

Shingles vaccine associated with good things in older age, when compared to people who had pneumococcal vaccine (so not just about vaccine seeking behaviour).
I'll look forward to seeing the paper when it comes out.

A collection of flowering plants I grew placed on a black enamel background to create a gentle colour gradation.

When someone seeks to bring me down (had a bit of a rough time on twitter today) I have a strong urge to channel the grimness & angst into something positive. So, here’s a photo I took of some things I grew-really hope it makes your brain feel good🌿

Mine was cancelled via phone call. They said they had run out of vaccine and won't get more before mid week. I assume demand has spiked in the private sector following the change in NHS guidelines.

I think it depends on the book. You shouldn't owe VAT but only certain books (eg children's educational books) are also free of import duties.

This was true for my Mum too and I still can't find the words. Except that she remained thoroughly and wonderfully herself, even as her body stopped working.
All strength and compassion to you and your family.

Energy efficient tenement in Edinburgh. As the winter closes in, and the draughts cross the floor, I look at this with a smidge of envy.

Stunning pics of the Meadows. That crisp smell of falling Autumn leaves has arrived too.

That's why the study the OP described is important. It better controls for genetics by using sibling controls. Once the genetics were controlled for, there was no link between paracetamol/Tylenol and autism.

I really appreciate when the BBC send folks out to erupting conflicts. Obvs they can't personally see everything but they talk about their limitations when they report.

This is Jude. He had a long day and just wants to relax with his tunes. Which he can notably turn on all by himself. 13/10 (TT: heyjudethebeagle)

During the No Balls podcast, Cross said her phone had blown up after the news came out and she hadn't really started replying to everyone.

We are legion 😉

Had to buy 200 screws though because none of the 1000s saved in the quality street tins were exactly right.

The only issue I see is whether people might be encouraged to, say, skim review 10 papers in a day and take the cash. The incentive for editors would be to keep coming back if you reviewed for them quickly. If people are paid, I think they would need to give up anonymity.

My Victorian ink bottle posy kits are now in my shop👇
Some have sold which is fantastic but maybe due to financial climate not as many as usual. I know it's cringey to ask for support but I'm trying to get back on my feet after being v unwell-a RT would help so much x🌿

Yikes, I guess I wouldn't replace any of them. I prob wasn't leading with my head. I think I'm twitchy about a lack of seam bowling experience in Indian conditions, esp if NSB can't bowl much, but maybe it really is time for the change.

Disappointed that there's no Kate Cross. I know she didn't have a good start to the year but she's been bowling well and taking wickets in the Hundred.

It's a grim time but sometimes burnt land acts as a fire break.
1) The proposed maps would only be enacted if the GOP further Gerrymander their districts.
2) If enacted, the proposal automatically reverts California to a neutral redistricting commission after the next census.

I hope you've got TMS in your ear. There is a lot of banter this evening.
