Wasn't it a dementia charity? The big reveal was done in quite a low key way though I think

Found an old heart rate monitor this week - must be almost 20 years old - and amazingly got it to talk to my phone. I now know I burn as many calories playing the flute for an hour as I do cycling up and down Brighton's hills for 15 minutes

be foolish not to in this weather

Today I am dressed in blue dungarees and a yellow t-shirt and I have this strange urge to eat bananas

Highways Act?

Not necessarily - the whole of the current system outside Brighton is being scrapped in any case. The district is made up of fairly distinct towns - one of which is already half in Brighton and Hove's boundaries anyway.

Ahoy there!

Monica Galetti?

Which of those categories does Grace Dent fit into?

Found them! Hidden in a bathroom pot, of course

In court, where we are waiting for the bench to come back and meanwhile the defendant is happily snoring in the dock

Chloe was on LBC this afternoon and said she got a tip-off from "some people who knew them at some point" and their experience of them didn't tally with what was in the book. I'ts here, from 2:52, quite interesting (if you're as obsessed with the story as I am!) www.globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/...

I really want to know. I suspect she's not the only one to have been looking into it for months, but that their appearances on, say, The One Show would have prompted tip offs from people who knew them as the Walkers

Oh joy - I've had my first comment from someone who appears to have used ChatGPT to slag off my work, sigh.

And here it is.

Ironically, I was assaulted outside court in almost exactly the same way - shoved by one of the defendant's supporters. She's not in the pic here, but I will be passing the pic I do have of her on the steps to the police.

In court today for an absolute rollercoaster of a trial. Looking forward to writing up later, but the one detail I'll share now to give a flavour is that the defendant brought his own bible to swear his oath on

Thinking of starting a compilation of all the different ways the council says "hemmed in by the Downs and the sea" in official documents. I've seen two to add to the collection just today

In court and not for the first time wishing I could take a picture of the public gallery graffiti where someone has altered SMASH THE STATE to read MASH THE TATE

Maybe I should look in the mattress? Isn't that where you stash your cash?

I bought two Freddos, hid them from the kids and now I can't find them but at least I know in a few weeks/months time I'll have a lovely chocolatey surprise

Work on the back wall has started in earnest - all the arches now down and removed from the site. Looks like the two in the last pic next to Concorde aren't part of this phase

From Tuesday - not sure if there was one or three arches left to go at this point (assume three, all the way to Concorde?)

We were told last week the last one was coming down this week

Our builder is apologising to the cat for disturbing her peaceful spot in the sun on the landing

That Oasis figure includes the knock-on spends. A fairer comparison would include the wider value generated by the fishing industry - e.g. fishmongers, supermarkets, restaurants

The Brighton and Hove Concert Orchestra will be taking to the stage for a musical journey on Saturday - come along for the ride!

From yesterday- I'm beginning to realise I chose the wrong spot to take the picture, so there's one from a bit further east showing where works currently happening too

And today! With a pic from above on Marine Parade too
