Crystal Palace to Wimbledon via Streatham today, and that's the #CapitalRing finished, a year and three weeks after I first started the #LondonLoop. The latter definitely the better of the two. Not sure what's next, but it'd better involve a lot more pubs.

Everyone's going to have a favourite bit from a Melania review. This is mine so far.

Dinner last night almost ruined by the foghorn dullard at the table next to me, but saved by his declaration that he probably wouldn't vote Reform after all because it's all washed-up tories now so what's the point. Keep it up Nige, you're doing great.

What is this nonsense on the #CapitalRing ? Is Leonard Road radioactive or something?

Open-G Telecaster update. I am now also a Temu Rick Parfitt. I never knew cutting a string off a guitar could make it so much fun. #DownDownDeeperAndDown
Almost a year owning a Telecaster and not really getting on with it. Then I tune it to open G and oh lord I'm a pound-shop Keith Richards. It might be a keeper after all.

The death of linear TV has really fucked the BBC. While Channel 4 and ITV retain their distinct identities, for better or worse, trawling iplayer is like wading through a sea of shit from the latter looking for the odd nugget from the former. The quality is in there, somewhere, but can I be arsed?

Smashing a bottle of Taylors LBV while making dinner seemed like a great idea, but now I'm playing a game of "is it port or is it blood" while clearing up.

After falling down a very odd wikihole, I find myself watching a dreadful 1975 sitcom with Spike Milligan in brownface (for a change) with John Bird. The past truly is another country.

A fair chunk of both #CapitalRing section 14 and the DLR seem to be closed, and the detours have turned more into a Hammers-themed one-man pub crawl than anything else. So, all in all, a resounding success.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

At the time, I thought I might come to regret this. Turns out, not.

Even the politics in my school sixth form were more nuanced than this cringefest. 😬
Zarah Sultana apparently wants to nationalise the entire economy including the Internet.

Wife has been home for ~36 hours and not said anything about this yet. Can't tell if she's got an unusual degree of chill after two weeks off, or simply that unobservant. Probably the latter.

Thoroughly enjoying all the bad takes about Neil Young on here. If you think this is shit, last night's headline set is still on iPlayer.

Raye easily the act of #glastonbury so far. Not seen anyone come on and smash it from the first moment like that.

I was going to write something all witty and scathing about The 1975, but iplayer seems to have done me a solid. Thank fuck for technical glitches. #glastonbury #couldbeworsecouldbecoldplayagain

I wasn't intending to use my entire bike ramp as an oil pan, but it turns out not to be a good idea to use the centrestand while doing an oil change on an S1000XR, and hot 5W40 pisses out like water.
30 minutes to do the "service", 2 hours to clear up the mess. ffs.
