Listening to FM, the new offering from Ryan Adams. I’ve been a fan since I first heard Heartbreaker, released in 2000, and I think he’s on top form with the new album. 🎶
Finished reading: The Larmenius Inheritance by John Paul Davis 📚
Just finished my shift behind the bar at the village beer and sausage festival. Time for a beer 🍺

Not a good start to the day
The UK government is missing in action
A Tory source tells the UK i newspaper: “The iceberg is getting closer and closer… and you’ve got Liz and Rishi doing a ridiculous leadership contest. We’ve got nothing, we’ve done nothing.”
UK government ministers were accused of a “dereliction of duty” today for not providing anyone for the media round this morning, leaving presenters to ask why no one from the government was prepared to face the public. This followed the energy regulator Ofgem announcing that the price cap will increase to £3,549 on 1st October.
In contrast, Lisa Nandy (Labour’s shadow chancellor) appeared on BBC Breakfast and called on the government to follow Labour’s lead and freeze energy bills. She said, “The fact that no Government minister is available to come on your programme today is just appalling. They are not here to give assurances, they are not here to set out what they are going to do. That is a dereliction of duty.”
Listening to the new Muse album, Will of the People. It’s a mix of rock, prog, glam and metal - play it loud! 🎶

This is the first photo from my new (previously enjoyed) Canon EOS M6 Mark II and the kit EF-M 15-45mm lens.
I’m pleased to be back with Canon after a couple of years of shooting with a Sony a6300 as I much prefer the way the Canon handles. 📷🌱

Today, news outlets in the UK report that water companies have failed to monitor the amount of sewage discharged into the sea in popular resort towns.
This is a disgrace, and I’ve supported a petition calling on the Government to renationalise the water supply as the industry, in its current form, is no longer fit for purpose.
Listening to a work-in-progress recording of a new song from the 2022 live line-up of Big Big Train, featuring Alberto Bravin on lead vocals. Watch on YouTube Sounds good so far. 🎶
