Watching coverage now and grateful I don't live in the UK where it looks like there's no way to watch it!
Looks like the classic "can they do it on a cold, rainy night in StokeBournemouth" game.
Team: Kelleher. Gomez, Matip, Quansah, Tsimikas, Elliott, Endo. Jones, Salah, Gakpo, Szoboszlai
Substitutes van Dijk, Konaté, Núñez, Mac Allister, Adrián, Jota, Gravenberch, Scanlon, Alexander-Arnold
Surprised we're starting Mo - although he does get to wear the armband. Maybe he couldn't resist those lovely white and green shirts lol.
No idea how Mo can shrug it off with a smile when someone grabs him with two arms and wrestles him to the ground with not even a foul given.
I think there's an assist there for Darwin - which breaks his "I only assist for Mo" record.
Edit: apparently I'm wrong... I guess makes sense that the post breaks the chain. The streak continues!
It's certainly feels like there's a 2nd goal in here for Toulouse.
Also it looks like the away end is on fire. No... literally on fire. Camera caught a brief shot and it's a solid mass of flares... you can see the smoke starting to drift across the rest of the pitch now.
Commentary:
"Endo didn't need to do much with that cross"
"The technique on that header was excellent"
🙃
Talk about a manager stamping their style on a team, this feels like nothing more than all those Dyche Burnley games.
Solid side out today - doesn't matter where Everton are in the table, this one always matters. Glad Richarlison is no longer an option for them... always felt like he couldn't keep his head.
Anvil Centre Public Art
I LOVE public art and New West has more than its fair share of it.
This is one that I'd missed, even though it's been in place for 6 months on the outside of the Anvil Centre: https://imgur.com/a/u142dWA

**Rebecca Bair Curl Mapped, 2023** (b. 1995, Toronto, ON, Canada; lives and works in Vancouver, BC, Canada) Anvil Centre Public Art Project April 2023 - March 2024 Curated by Emmy Lee Wall, Capture Photography Festival
Commissioned by the City of New Westminster, this temporary public art installation is presented in partnership with Capture Photography Festival
Situated on the façade of the Anvil Centre in New Westminster, Rebecca Bair's site-specific installation, Curl Mapped, tackles the complex, colonial history of archives to represent that which is absent: traces of Black settlers in this region. Bair spent significant time in the city archives poring over the leather-bound ledgers, reading the handwritten notes, and examining the photographs therein only to discover
Photo of an estimate from a local mechanic? And same with you - take all the physio you need and bill the hell out of them. Hope the knee's settled down now but an expert opinion might spot something long-term that can be corrected now.
Sorry to hear :( Feels like we're all one momentary lapse of concentration (usually someone else's) away from a life-changing coming-together. I've lost track of the situation with the shifting sands of ICBC and what they will/won't do these days, but can you claim against them for a) any out-of-pocket medical expenses (eg physio) and b) damage to bike/helmet?
Ahhh right, sorry - must read more carefully - I see you've already said ICBC will cover the helmet. If you get the bike in for a mechanic to look over & give you an estimate then presumably they'll cover that as well?
I've never understood why there's a fuss about default wallpaper. It ships with a dozen options and you can obviously install your own. I guess it's the opportunity for a news story and a sign that things have reached a certain level of development and are getting close to release.
Personally, I saw the item on installing your own dynamic wallpaper at https://www.omglinux.com/dynamic-wallpapers-for-gnome-desktop/, followed the instructions on github and set up a lovely time-of-day based wallpaper based on the game Firewatch (https://github.com/manishprivet/dynamic-gnome-wallpapers#code-firewatch) - I love all the sunrise/sunset options there but if you've played Firewatch then this one might speak to you :)
New West Car Free Day
This Saturday will be Car Free Day. Columbia St shutdown for "live music, food trucks, site-wide liquor license, and more!"
Date: Saturday, July 29 Located: Columbia Street, New Westminster, BC Time: Noon - 8 pm
Always a lot of fun... this is what the food truck festival morphed into (which is probably a good thing because the food truck festival had grown to a ridiculous size).
Core details including the bands playing on https://www.carfree.ca/new-west
More details on https://www.newwestrecord.ca/local-news/get-ready-to-enter-a-pedestrian-paradise-new-wests-car-free-day-is-back-7322081 (including that there's going to be a bike valet this year)
Uptown Live - Sat Jul 15
There's no time to relax after week #2 of Fridays on Front - the fun never stops in New West in the summer...
Uptown Live today, Saturday July 15 from Noon - 8:00 PM - uptown New West.
Lots of food trucks, lots of bands, lots of vendors.
Schedule, artists, vendors etc here: https://www.uptownlive.ca/schedule-1
I'm especially looking forward to hearing Ayla Tesler-Mabé - that woman sure knows her way around a guitar but there doesn't appear to be anything she can't do.
Seems to be a lot of fragmentation in the ebike rental market. Coquitlam has Neuron, Vancouver has Mobi, North Van is Lime, Whistler is Evolve - New West is asking for public input before it selects a vendor, not sure about any other municipalities.
This seems like a bad thing - sure I guess they're marketing them for short trips but ebikes are so much fun that I think yes you might want to take your rental bike from Coquitlam into Vancouver, drop it there, spend the day, then pick up another one for the ride home... which of course you can't if they're all on different systems.
The casual-use rates ($1.19 unlocking + $0.39/min) don't seem a million miles off Evo car rates.
Queen’s Park Concert Series
Arts New West (what used to be known as the Arts Council of New West) is putting on a series of free concerts at the bandshell in Queen's Park.
Every Thursday at 7pm and every Sunday at 2pm (apparently with a break in the middle...??) until the end of July.
Go take a picnic (and even a beer if you like) and enjoy free good times. Maybe see ya there.
More details on their FB or their website https://artscouncilnewwest.org/concertseries/
www.newwestrecord.ca Join the celebration: Agnes Street Greenway official opening in New West
A ribbon-cutting, art show and cycling activities are part of Saturday’s grand opening celebration of this New Westminster greenway
This Saturday from 11AM to 2PM - official opening of the Agnes St Greenway. We rode it the other day & it's looking lovely. Lots of nice touches - the planting as usual in New West and the doggy exercise yard.
sometimes it’s better to take the Evo than my own car just to avoid parking and dodging traffic on the way back.
I know right? Sure, the Evo concept is not a solution to every traffic/vehicle related problem but there are so many use cases where it's hellishly handy. I've definitely done the same - an Evo into town and no worries about parking... lock and WALK AWAY :)
Coffee #1, coffee #2, coffee #3
Got in a coffee hat trick this afternoon.
#1
rode into town past the brand-new-just-opened-today-but-not-really coffee shop on 6th - Coasters Coffee. (As far as I can work out they had a ribbon-cutting with the Mayor etc today (Photo: New West Chamber of Commerce) but had a grand opening in March). https://www.instagram.com/coasterscoffeeshop
#2
got coffee & nibbles in Craft Cafe down on the Quay. Always good coffee and I managed to avoid buying any of the fancy coffee gadgets they have for sale. https://www.instagram.com/craftcafe.ca/

City's asking for input on the 2024 budget - go tell them your priorities (and maybe win a local gift card)
One Evo can replace a fair number of parked cars…
A rep from Evo told me once that their data suggests each Evo takes 7 privately owned cars off the road. (I know that's worded badly and yes I've seen the way some people drive Evos...)
You can't expect parents to let their kids WALK to school can you? It's not safe - there's so many cars around! 🙄
