Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Some excellent value food and drink here in Venice’s Santa Marta district today. First pic shows the bargain €5 Spritz & snack deal at Carovansara, and second pic is at Osteria Bakan: €15 lunch, including primo, secondo, coffee, and wine/Spritz. Very local for us: that’s our bedroom window opposite! 030
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Second evening in Venice, so two spritzes down so far. This evening at Carovansara, conveniently just round the corner from our apartment (thanks to @davidhewson.com for the rec); yesterday at Bar Blu (@robinsaikia.bsky.social’s little guidebook). 392
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 05/07/2026#NowPlaying This is Very Good! Superb orchestral playing, and a marvellously clear but warm recorded sound. Honeck’s interpretation is often quite interventionist but never for the sake of it; details of articulation and dynamics are minutely observed. 030
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 06/06/202642 of these, as opposed to 45 of the original list, so marginally in the opposite direction for me. Don’t know what that signifies! 020

Reposted by Jonathan MorganJo Kibble (Political Animal) @politicanimal.bsky.social · 11/03/2026My answer to the trolley problem is: That’s not a trolley, it’s a tram. No, what you call a tram is a cable car. No, what you call a cable car is probably a funicular. Oh, while we were sorting out these important points, the railed vehicle has passed the points. Yes, they are points, not a switch. 0639
Reposted by Jonathan MorganAnnette Dittert @annettedittert.bsky.social · 03/03/2026For now this is just one poll. But if this trend continues the current FPTP voting system makes no sense anymore. If you add the SNP and Plaid Cymru to the mix we might end up with a completely random result at the next elections. Which will undermine trust in the U.K. democracy even further. 1520456
