Spare a thought for @anothersmd.bsky.social who is bearing the brunt of my Football Thoughts

Message 1: I think if I was a footballer my tactic would be to just throw myself at the other person

Message 2: I think what I can't really fully understand, and I have realised this is a problem with me and sports generally - I can't hear the whistle, and so I can't follow what exactly is happening. Like I looked up and suddenly it's a free kick and they scored

Thank you diatoms for all you do ❤️

Bought some Welsh elderport (and coffee, not pictured, because it's from Birmingham and that feels not in the right spirit)

My quick 10 minute lunchtime walk turned into a 50 minute walk thanks to an accidental side quest which took me to this thing, which I investigated, and I am still none the wiser as to wtf it is or why it's there

Some sort of big metal thing that looks like it is Something but apparently isn't?

Soph Warnes@thatsoph· Jul 2

Mmm landfill

Looking the other direction - more field and hill

I am watching Berlin in very small bitesz and I think part of that is it's just not grabbing me - but I am very much enjoying and would watch more of Pedro Alonso and Álvaro Morte singing karaoke

The other thing I got from Seville is far less immediately interesting but it reminds me of Kaspar so ❤️

Finally put that Seville postcard up

A framed postcard of an advert from Seville. It features a half naked man coming out from a flower squeezing an orange under his arm and says "Sevilla's most authentic oranges".

This is what I'm dealing with and I tried SO hard to get the thing in there and zipped up but it's awkward because I'm on the wrong side
