Ten more things to push gently into your brain-jelly.

1. F. Scott Fitzgerald conjugates "to cocktail" – a delightful tidbit for your garden party bon mots this season. 

2. Creative Review flick through Richard McGuire's Here – a unique, incredible book. It'll be interesting to see if/when/how it gets adapted for the screen – I fear it'll be a saccharine acousticised John Lewis advert before the year is out.

3. Tom Gauld has created a myriorama inspired by the work of Laurence Stern. You know, a myriorama.

4. Police to begin using tactical camera balls – essentially the first generation of those Minority Report spiders.

5. Ernest Hemingway copy clinic by Nick Asbury. Also: Hemingway's rough drafts by xkcd.

6. Ray Bradbury's demolished home turned into bookends.

7. Why book pages turn yellow. Would love to see publishers experiment with this phenomenon a bit more. Could books be made to age into other colours?

8. The University of Cambridge is looking for a Professor of Lego. Time to dust off the old CV …

9. Novelists writing ballads? Song-writers dashing off novels? Does success in one genre guarantee it in another?

10. I escaped my inbox for a few days and fled to the Lake District. It did not go well.

That is all.
