Fab alt-text too!

Lounge 33 sells vinyl and does coffee and exquisite vibes. DJ sets on Sundays. The Bowlers Rest is a wonderful pub with diverse crowd, cheap too and music most nights. Also consider the Mother Superior pub and Nauticus bar, wonderful spots.

I just bought the new orange Nothing phone. Slight waiting list but I can be patient. It has exposed screws. 🥵

Bravo!

Ah, gotcha! Yeah, you need gaps. Gaps for anti-fragility, gaps for emergencies, gaps for just musing.
