Chelsea begin life without Guro Reiten today after she sealed a move to Gotham FC in the States. She leaves with winners’ medals for six WSL titles, four FA Cups and three League Cups in six years.

I have been thinking a lot about compliments – why, how, good and bad ones – because of Barbara from Stroud, whose vox pop went viral when she was asked how to make someone’s day better. “If I see someone and I like their shoes, dress, hat, I say so,” she said. That this quite ordinary comment, albeit from a clearly delightful woman, got millions of views and compliments in return (including from former England goalie Mary Earps) suggests an understandable longing for nano acts of niceness.

When Nick went camping in the summer with friends, he would set up his tent 100 metres away from the group.
