Perhaps less head spinning and better clarity of thinking than when you have been drinking.

Close your eyes and put on Dark side of the Moon, Logical progression, or an essential mix...

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.

Look out for the hedgehogs before starting your bonfires!

I'm going to hold out buying it from there until I find it being advertised near two other JML adverts, in a garden centre.

As we gear up to the start of Bonfire festivities, be sure to check those wood stacks for hedgehogs. β €β €

Have you considered having a meadow instead of a lawn? It would be less maintenance and be much better for pollinators.

Well this is exactly what us men need - pure sheets of Titanium ENGINEERED (not even designed), on a CNC machine, by bearded men who wrestle bears, for that *real* feeling of manliness.

You just have to say yes when these sorts of things happen.

Are you your own boss now, or are you still holding down the previous / current job?

Oh that looks like a good thing, I read your Wimbledon blog (and I liked it).

Good luck with it.

Vasilis Xenopoulos was his name, he played both the Alto and 'normal' saxophones (not at the same time).

The Piano player was Paul Edis and the two of them have worked together for 20 years, writing their own material, some of which they played last night "Awaiting boarding" was my favourite.

No need to alert people as to our status, they might knock on the door!

St. Andrews church in Hove. An electric piano and some drums are in the foreground.

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.

The information is definitely out there.

If I recall correctly, a pint of Guinness is something like 700 calories, however G&T is "healthier" at 200!
