I spent the last 2 nights under canvas as with a solo bikepacking trip in the South Downs and coast of West Sussex.
Bridle tracks, gravel, rivers, fields, and sunflowers.
I covered about 140km over the weekend. Today's return leg was 65km

Work or pleasure?
Do you have an itinerary already?
Get a pasmo metro card. It's like an Oyster but better.
Last year, I spent a week exploring Kyushu, then another week taking various shinkansen from Hakata to Hiroshima, Himeji, Osaka, Nara, and Kyoto then back to Tokyo for another week

Sofa time on a sleepy afternoon.
My two #wirefoxterriers on the sofa. Near is Tokyo, far end is Koji who's totally succumbed to the cushion he's on.
In the 5 mins since I took this, Tokyo has crashed flat out.
We've not even had a walk today yet as it's been either too rainy or too hot & humid 😆

Well, Stevie Wonder was incredible last night at Hyde Park. A bona fide, certifiable, legend, prodigy, genius, and all-around bringer of joy.
There aren't many who have a songbook as rich and wonderful as his. And his band is magnificent: jazzy, funky, soulful, slick with kick.

Went to Wimbledon today; my god it was hot. Far too hot to be exposed on Henman Hill with melting strawberries.
Fortunately the Centre Court had a lot of shade. Watched the amazing Alcaraz v Fognini match. We left soon after, totally knackered by the heat.
Imagine how the players feel.

The bald Vance meme makes him look like a creepy weirdo. Not like the guyliner Vance, who's into The Cure meme.
Would I be stopped with the Guyliner Vance meme? I mean, he looks cooler, right?
What about Stephen Miller as Nosferatu? Or Trump as a fat fascist? Oh, guess I'm not travelling then 😆🤷♂️

I'm thinking of just sleeping in the garden cos it's so hot. Even though the dogs have their own shelter, they'll jump in with me & I'll be too hot once again 😆
These photos are from last year when I did it.
Not as nice as your stream though, are there midges there? Is it a good spot for sunrise?

Late Boomers//Gen X are a handful when they've had a skinful. The genteel English Summer Garden Party vibe soon got a bit lively.
Great concert, though, many singing & dancing to Chaka, & the venue was incredible.
Hampton Court Palace has often been used in Tudor & Georgian set period movies & TV

Saw the fantastic Chaka Khan at Hampton Court last night.
An incredible venue for a concert, held in the historic court. The gardens are amazing, too. Punters invited to bring their own picnic to enjoy in the grounds.
Like many UK Summer events it was full of drunken late Boomers/Gen X

There's 2 #Bowie this week. The funky "Stay" which I think goes well with Talking Heads & Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Plus, there's the title track from Ziggy Stardust, which was released OTD in 1972.
I've also included a groovy hit from Chaka Khan (who I'm seeing live on Wednesday!)
