dolorosa_12It's been a fairly quiet weekend, although Matthias and I did make it out of the house on Saturday, spending the afternoon sitting in the beautiful courtyard garden of my favourite cafe/bar in town. We met up with notasapleasure and her husband, who brought homemade Georgian food (the bar doesn't do food, but lets you bring your own stuff), and their gigantic greyhound, who spent most of the time napping in the shade. notasapleasure also introduced me to the delight which is the Ukrainian Eurovision band's singer's Instagram account, which is exactly as you'd imagine. So many people in fandom came away from this year's Eurovision as devoted Måneskin fans, but I'm all about Ukrainian Trinity-from-The Matrix and her giant eagles.
It's been bakingly hot by UK standards, and I haven't done much more than read: Murder in July (the fourteenth Benjamin January mystery, which involved events from Ben's past in Paris, and many cameos by Ayasha, which I always enjoy), and A Dowry of Blood by ST Gibson (gothic novella from the perspective of one of Dracula's 'brides', written in an almost epistolary style; suffers a bit from really poor copyediting).

thissterlingcrew: how to opt out of the NHS sharing your health data with third parties. Two things to note: there is a deadline of 23rd June to opt out of this, and it appears so far only to cover NHS patients in England, not the other nations (that said, if, for example, you currently live in Scotland but lived and saw a GP in England in the past, you may want to check if your old health data from that time would be included — better to be safe than sorry).
