I have now migrated to Eurosky, meaning that my data is held on European servers, instead of ones in the USA. I use the same bsky.app address and the interface is the same, I just have a slightly different handle than previously (quinners.eurosky.social)

I marked this with a reasonable swim in the sea in Brighton this morning, then air dried in the sun. I suspect that it might be my last sea swim this year.

Today's #Saturdayfalafel was from the Sunbird deli on the corner of London road and the Open Market, probably a 5/10. Now having a delicious Affogatto, made with red velvet ice cream, once again at Brass Monkey.

I passed a new café on Bond Street, which will be of interest to @clouds75.bsky.social I have consumed the Afogatto, which I note is spelled with 2 fs.

Sigh. Matt Prior's reaction yesterday to the announcement about Simon Crundwell stepping down was "It begins....", signifying the start of the despair. It's going to be like this for us Sussex supporters until about April next year. Sorry, bit Eeorish - we're doing great in the Championship!

600,000 leaves create a surface area of ​​1,500 square meters. Mature trees filter 6 tons of CO2 and 1 ton of particulate matter from our air. They provide us with 4.5 tons of pure oxygen and transpire up to 400 liters of water a day—the best and most natural air conditioning system in the world!

Football world cup draw time and as with many public events, it's best watched on mute, with something entirely unrelated on as a soundtrack, which in my case is BBC Radio six. This has the added advantage that I don't have to listen to Rio Ferdinand. The joyful news is that England are in Pot L.

I didn't have insomnia, I actually *chose* to stay awake to listen to #theashes Batting fewer than 34 overs is atrocious although England appear to be bowling with good pace and hostility but we MUST get Smith out soon. I am contemplating getting out of bed to watch it. #thecricket

On my dog walk I often chat with right wingers. I pretend I am an ex-Reform voter put off by the utter fuck up of our county council. Then they see me as one of their own, don't get defensive and shouty, and start to question their own opinion of Reform. Honey, not vinegar.

Last night: Daniel Avery at Chalk - a very mixed bag of drone music that leant heavily on Nine inch Nails and Death in Vegas, followed by the expected squelchy 303 bangers and delicious hi hat techno. Tonight: A jazz quartet at St. Andrews in Hove. I think there's a Greek saxophonist involved.
