Well worth watching it go to the 36th hole...they must be shattered! Especially the winner who carried her clubs the whole time.

I'm not sure if this is an irritation or a blessing but I've just spent a week in Cornwall. I saw less pot holes there, having driven every day, than there is in the village I live in here in Kent !!

Really tough for McClymont, but well done to the American Melanie Green.

Wanting to work on my short game so set the alarm. That came and went and next thing I knew it was midday and I couldn't be bothered. Body clearly needed the rest after a hectic week off but annoyed I couldn't get my backside in gear

Mushrooms in food, just no
I love mushrooms but they have to be cooked the right way. Most restaurants get it wrong, for me, but done the right way = wow!
That said, coconuts should never be used in food. A hint of it has me retching…

I can take them if there aren't too many and are cut really small.....but I've never liked the texture. Same with raw fish, I tried it a couple of times when I was living in Okinawa.....taste was ok, but I didn't like the texture.

Do the acts/performers get paid for appearing at Glastonbury?

They do -as with any act that appears in concert
Apparently it is not full market rate, partly because the organisers couldn't afford it, but also because playing there is great publicity and if you perform well the spike in sales will earn you plenty. That is how it is sold to them, I saw an interview a while back with the lady who runs it.

Usually a great advert, especially for the "legend" on Sunday afternoon as it gets their music to a younger and newer audience. Thought the Streets were brilliant as well

The BBC. I just despair. The reigning Wimbledon Champion is on Centre Court and they're not covering it. Not on BBC1 or BBC2 and not on the red button. They get worse when I think it's impossible to do so. Recent coverage at Eastbourne was equally rubbish at times.
I imagine it will start at 2pm on BBC1. So the opening 30 minutes will be missed - it's bloody disrespectful if you ask me NOT to cover his match from the start. Instead we've got Medvedev on Court 1 and Court 12 on the red button. Well done BBC...
Wait a minute (it's stopped raining!). We're moving to it now but not before a piece on Alcarez. Why not cover from the first point? Even from the warm up. Useless.

Reflection on how BBC view sport in general in my opinion although to be balanced they do tend to plaster it on BBC1 and BBC2 most days until end of play

Saw an interview from someone who turned a slot down the other week. Apparently it is way below normal rates and it can end up actually costing some people. If you get a slot that is going to be shown on BBC then it is worth it but if not then it may not be apparently.
