One of those perfect nights. @traceythorn.bsky.social and Ben Watt with a beautiful band m, playing sublime songs to an audience hanging on every note. What a treat.

Good bowling performance from @gloscricket.bsky.social today, especially Ollie Price means that we have a good game on our hands now. Something that seemed unlikely when we were 37-5 on the first day.

We recently acquired another piece of wonderful glass art from the extremely talented Rachael Durkin I love the way different areas leap to the fore as the light changes outside.

Yesterday we took the short trip to Bath. It was such a treat to meet up with the bryauthor Mieko Kawakami and then listen to her discuss her work. Japanese fiction isn’t just cats and cute cafes #miekokawakami #fiction #japanesefiction

Very sad to hear that John Douglas of The Trashcan Sinatras has died. He made some beautiful records and always seemed like a lovely man. Commiserations to his wife, family and all who knew him.

Had a great walk around Staple Hill and Fishponds yesterday with my mate Steve (his photo of the two of us at the most important boarder in the world). Although we’ve only got to know each other in the last few years, it’s amazing to find out about the overlaps in youthful stomping grounds. #bristol
