This lavender room spray does so much more than get rid of unpleasant odors. The scent of lavender is known to promote feelings of calm and well-being, so spritzing a little of this in your room can help you chill out after a stressful day. Hand-blended in small batches, the spray can also be misted on your pillow and sheets to help encourage a good night’s sleep. Not in the mood for lavender? Try the comforting aroma of vanilla or the energizing smell of pink grapefruit.

My podcasting rig is simple: Two microphones, a Tascam recorder, two XLR cables. I’ve upgraded things a bit in the past year — improved the mics, bought some foam windscreens and bought a pair of tabletop, foldable mic stands. But the principle is the same: take nothing I can’t fit into a laptop sleeve.

I jumped at the chance to try out the Rodecaster Pro. From the looks of it, it just might be the ideal product to help home podcasters scratch that itch. The product is essentially a six-channel soundboard with self-contained production capabilities. The idea is to just record everything live to a single track that can be uploaded directly to your podcast server of choice.

Setup mostly consists of unboxing and plugging in cables. Rode sent up a deluxe edition in a giant backpack that also included a pair of its Podcaster microphones and large, heavy stands. You’ll need to go through a couple of screens to set up odds and ends like time and date and to pair it to your phone, if you plan to go that route.

The Met Office said Wales had the strongest winds in the UK on Thursday with 67mph (108 km/h) gusts recorded at Aberporth in Ceredigion.

There is extra pressure for this year’s pavilion, given what is looming on the horizon nearby. A little to the east, beyond the trees, now floats the truncated pyramid of Christo’s Mastaba, a mountain of 7,500 oil barrels stacked up and soon to be cast adrift in the middle of the Serpentine lake. It is an impressive feat on paper, shown in Christo’s characteristically dynamic drawings, but it now looks surprisingly puny in the expansive context of the park. Seen from the bridge, it has the scale of one of the many temporary stages that often pop up here among the trees.
