I get distracted by shiny things.

I wonder if the current dip to a 12-month low for UK 5-year gilts will get as much media coverage as the brief spike above 4.5% did at the start of this year.

My favourite history podcast, the glorious @ourfakehistory.bsky.social, has had a good few of these, especially in its early years:

The ISS (top-middle), and a Hong Kong-bound A350 (bottom-middle), from south London tonight. I think that it’s Cygnus top-right as well.

2 matches in 1 day? Can’t beat it. Admittedly, I had to leave the AFC Wimbledon game at half-time to get to the Arsenal on time, but it counts!

Obligatory shitty photo of the ISS tonight. It’s the bright dot in the left cloud, and to its above-right is Cygnus.

It’s a sure sign of middle age that nowadays I use my University of Kentucky shot glasses for a morning ginger and chili pick-me-up…

My friends made a scoresheet for this year’s #Eurovision. Here’s my results, with a clear top 5: #Finland #Latvia #Austria #Albania #Malta. Happy with any of these winning

“Twin Towers”, sorry. This was the kind of view as you walked towards the stadium:

Here’s my top 10 from semi-final two. The top two are streets ahead of the rest, although I loved #Latvia. #Eurovision

My top 10 from tonight’s semi-final.

That Slovenia performance has sent it shooting up my rankings. Such a beautiful song. And Croatia is gloriously mad. #Eurovision

Before seeing any of the performances, here’s my Top 10 based on just the songs. I’m a fan of the upbeat stuff, clearly. #Eurovision

I'm happy to do the questionnaire that the BBC has sent me, but there's got to be an objection to leading questions like this...

Sometimes, this little dickhead does actually show me some love. Or uses me as a pillow.

I love how this graph captures the silo-isation of politics nowadays.

An excellent week for ISS flypasts for those of us in London. Clear skies until the weekend.
