Been away

Have been away for a few weeks. Enjoyed a family holiday.
The Ashes are on - the Third Test starts today. I'm working from home today, so that's worked out well.
Had a bit of a rough night - woken around 3 by the wee one, then couldn't get back to sleep. Sounded like a heavy storm in the distance approaching, but it became a bit of a damp squib. Meanwhile on the other side of the Atlantic, there's been no named storm yet. In fact, I haven't even seen an invest that looked worth tracking.
And Iran. Ah, a lot has been happening I think, out of the spotlights. The leadership in Iran is split. Rafsanjani finally spoke out, at a Friday prayers on Tehran University. That led to more protests which were again beaten down. Some say the RG has effectively mounted a coup with Khamanei.
And the people on the streets - it seems they've become more radicalised, which is the way of these things. When even shouting Allah Akbar becomes punishable, then the theology will be questioned along with the theocracy.
Today's the 40th day since the massacres of June 20th. Once again, tens of thousands are expected to march. They are likely walking into more guns. But the revolution is still happening.
