Trigger - almost true about "voxzal" (вокзал if you want to be clever) - it means mainline station. A little station is "stantsiya" (станция)...

And yes, it's to do with Vauxhall in London but I think it was more to do with area than the station
Good news about the Wiltshire birds.

I'm not quite that thin-skinned 😊
Plenty of swifts, martins and swallows this year in north Wilts. Beautiful noise as they all swoop around the skies at feeding/socialising time.

S’ok Pads it was a dad joke. The Jersey Tiger Moths used to be limited to Devon and Somerset but they’re expanding their UK habitat now and moving north and east across Hampshire, Wiltshire and Surrey.

Not related to that but an interesting fact that I knew but didn’t know much about which came in handy today is that in Russia a train station is called a “Vokzal” and this is after our very own Vauxhall in London - a convoluted story means that that is how people refer to all train stations in Russia.
It's been an excellent year for swifts here. Swallows too. Have they done well in the south-east? We had them in the loft in Hastings and miss them. No loft here so we put a box up, but by the time the swifts arrive it's always full of sparrows or starlings.

I'm sure we used to see Jersey Tiger Moths in Hastings but they are certainly very common here. We get the occasional humming bird hawkmoth too.
We had one Wiltshire way last week SB - very striking creatures! Seems they are migrating north out of Devon and Somerset because of Paddington moving there.

Or it could be the climate warming up further north. It's inconclusive :-)
Just had a beautiful black and gold Jersey Tiger Moth land on the curtain in the lounge - never seen one before - but becoming more common in Surrey

Found mainly in the south-west and the Channel Islands
Drinking bottled water with my electrolytes added so fine for me!

3-4 litres a day, needed in this heat
How does the water taste there?

38 degrees by the pool here in Majorca. Looking forward to the cooler weather in Reading! If I get a ticket.

Actually don’t want to come home, pure bliss here.
I'm in their West stand Saturday, so I guess I'll get some sun early on

Imagine we'll see a few shirtless fans around the ground on Saturday. I don't have the gut for it.

Though I am working on it.
No ta, Postie. Taking every precaution in this weather, even got a wet towel over me bonce.
