Good morning all. It’s currently 18°C where I am ☀️

📖 Morning links:

• Just paying attention to greenery, even in an urban environment, has mental health benefits
• There’s a tradition in Japan where grandparents buy their grandkids a $450 bag when they start school
• A look back at the now dead newsletter service TinyLetter
• The Netflix show “Tour de France: Unchained” is apparently good. With the Tour starting this Saturday I think I might check it out to get me in the mood.

🧍‍♂️Me update:

• 6hr 15m of sleep 🛌
• I have a tiny sore throat this morning. But a happy side effect is that my voice sounds masculine and gravely.
• It’s the last day of hot temperatures in the UK, which makes me happy. I don’t mind a hot weekend. But hate a hot weekday. Give me rain and clouds and cosiness.
