My OH has been to Glasgow this morning to buy a car. It’s a Jaguar e-type (I think) that they’ve stopped making and they get snapped up quickly. So he’s had a sliced sausage breakfast and is now driving home! Job done: photo to follow!

@christopherclarey.bsky.social what do you make of players once again expecting ball kids to handle their towels? Humbert just now in Eastbourne semi & Carlos at Queens. Why don’t players get told it’s not their job? 🎾

Big moment for me.
The Warrior publishes today in the USA and Canada. 22 years in the making. 2 years in the writing. I went deep on Rafael #Nadal's code & career & on #RolandGarros, the tournament with which he will always be associated.
Vamos!

Can I just do everyone the extreme good favour, in this often dolorous world, of recommending the Facebook account "Wholesome Masculinity Spotting"? Often moving, more usually funny - but also, importantly, 100% these guys are having more fun lives than Andrew Tate fans. It's just JOYOUS.
