Gin and the Foo Fighters, in the company of my dog (although he’s not their biggest fan, he prefers jazz!). Wonderful! #Glastonbury

The #coronation ceremony is grotesque, but the music is so beautiful. It must sound absolutely glorious inside the abbey.

Done our duty in the #LocalElections, still several hours to go everyone, vote if you’re able to. Don’t forget to take ID (flawed as the process is). My feeling is that #Turnout here in South East Cambs is higher than usual, not sure if that’s good or bad news. #DogsAtPollingStations #DogsOfMastodon

I found this article about the experience of Hong Kong exiles very moving. This quote really struck me (from a professor now teaching in Mandarin): ‘“You just keep going”, “Doesn’t matter if it’s wrong, they get the general idea.” He was making light of the heartbreak of starting again in a new place, his brilliance now dampened, his ideas rendered awkward by someone else’s language.’ @migration #migration

“Household spending in the three months to September was 3.2 per cent below pre-pandemic levels — by far the biggest fall among the G7 economies and the third worst performance across the 43 countries that have published detailed national accounts data for the third quarter, according to an FT analysis.” #uk #economy #brexit

Strep A in the UK

This is an interesting and balanced article on the possible reasons for the rise in cases of #Strep A among children in the #UK. It has this interesting comment on possible faster treatment:
"The US uses rapid strep A tests, which are throat swabs taken by a medical practitioner, with results within 15 minutes. If the test is positive, antibiotics can be immediately started."

I have seen my own small commuter town transformed, as it is far busier during the day, and people are more involved in local activities. I knew the change was significant when a much-loved cake shop closed in Cambridge and re-opened in my town.
