I had forgotten that the University Boat Race was due, until I spoke to my sister at the weekend and she reminded me. So I watched it yesterday on iPlayer. From what I could gather (I skipped through a lot of the guff they put in to make the programme longer), the crew members were training at home, separately, for a good six month, and only got to row together for the last 28 days. Which is a hell of a weird way to put a boat race crew together. However, all very satisfactory, and, to my astonishment, with bonus Olive and Mabel.

There's a post on Tom & Lorenzo here: https://tomandlorenzo.com/2021/04/berluti-fall-2021-menswear-collection/ which features (aside from a number of unexpectedly and unreasonably fabulous outfits for tall, slender chaps and some hats that should be incinerated) an item that intrigues me.

Scroll down to the chap in the sweater—it's turquoise with purple, red and tan in stripes, and worn with magenta pants (which works a lot better than one might think). I'm intrigued by the way the stitches are done, and not quite sure how it is happening. It looks like a mixture of knitting and weaving! Can anyone guess?
