🎉 He did it! 🎉
After more than 380 miles, 14 incredible days and countless steps, our South West Running Man, and lead nurse of SoNAR, Patrick has crossed the finish line.
Every day, Patrick helps sick and premature babies make vital journeys between neonatal and special care baby units to the specialist care they need. For the past two weeks, he’s swapped the ambulance for his running shoes to run between all the units in the South West and raise money for Cots for Tots, who support the service.
Patrick, you absolute superstar. We are so proud of you. What an achievement. If you are able, please show your support with a donation to his fundraising page - Patrick Turton is fundraising for Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal. 💙

It's hard to believe but my little shop in Glastonbury (6 Market Place) is a year old today.🎂 It's been a fabulous year and people have been so amazingly supportive of my new venture. For this weekend only (ending on Monday) I have 10% off everything in store. If you want to shop online on https://t.co/AaeahFRAg1
the code is Birthday10
Image taken yesterday is 'Through The Keyhole' Seems apt since I got the keys to the shop a year ago this week.
Please do let me know if you are dropping by to see me, in case I am at home preparing online orders or the post office sending them (or the pub😂 ).
My first weekend in my new shop has gone really well. It's been so lovely to see so many friends on here in real life 😊 Support has been overwhelming and I just want to thank everyone. Until I get Internet in the shop and wind down some other commitments my opening hours/days may be a bit erratic. Please message first if you are thinking of popping in. The shop is an extension of my website so orders can be placed online. I still have online orders to process and photographs to capture each day too. Sorry for the longwinded post but just wanted to say, please bear with me 🙏❤️ I have also been doing a lot of custom canvas orders in larger/bespoke sizes. If that is of interest please just message or pop in if I am open. I have some large ones to show as illustrations. 6 Market Place, Glastonbury.

Weekly Token + Narrative Watchlist 🔎
With the market heating up, let's look into some of the most interesting plays this week.👇
$BTC: Price held at the key $25k support level (despite adversity), and bounced nicely. Huge recent 15% uptick in open interest is very intriguing, alongside outperformance vs equities. Price is moving like someone knows something (ETF approval maybe?). Paying close attention.
$STX (+ $BCH & $XEC): All beta #Bitcoin alt plays. With dominance recently on the rise, these could be a decent way to capture upside if BTC keeps moving upwards (all part of the BTC narrative leading into the halving). Keep in mind you are assuming more risk by dabbling here.
$ARB: Some large players capitulated last week, resulting in millions of $ in ARB sent to exchanges. Consequentially, ARB hit its most oversold level in its history according to the RSI on the daily. However, there are positives here: Arbitrum have just confirmed their inagural incentive program, with 50M ARB will be distributed to active Arbitrum protocols that apply for a grant. Additionally, the looming EIP-4844 will be a strong tailwind for L2s.
$LINK: LINK's weekly chart continues to amaze - in the clearest of accumulation patterns. One day this will break up, and force everyone to buy higher. Recently pivoted nicely from the bottom of the range, still in the lower half. A move to the top of the range at $8.5 is still 25% away. Starting to show relative strength.
$RLB: On chain tokens are making a slight comeback, with $BITCOIN up 30%. Given Friend Tech may have peaked for a couple days/weeks, maybe we could see some rotation back into our favourite on chain coins. The Rollbit thesis is simple, however: The chart looks good, sports season is starting, revenue is holding nicely and RLB is still burning at a rapid pace ($1.2m in the past 7 days).
$RDNT: Finally starting to exhibit some relative strength, likely due to the launch of their Mainnet in 2 weeks time. Radpie is also set to launch around the same time, and RDNT will also be a beneficiary from the Arbitrum short-term incentive program.
$GMX: We haven't had great volatility recently, but extended periods of contraction typically lead to rapid expansion. I don't know exactly when this will be (next week, next month etc.) but we know that when volatility returns, perp DEXs will be a major beneficiary as more fees are generated via trading volume. However, the reason I'm picking GMX here is due to the ARB incentive program, which could spike renewed interest in the ecosystem.

Yet another mature street tree that an insurance company wants felled to stop moisture abstraction by the tree and avoid property subsidence.
This time a 100 year beech tree in Cambridge.
If soils are drying out, must we remove every street tree?
