Home, and waiting for the cards to land
Is this the last time I'll see Worthing FC as a resident of the town? Not inconceivable.

The 80s: Photographing Britain exhibition at Tate is well worth seeing. Some surprising omissions, and it loses direction about halfway through, but there’s some great photography and it’s well presented.

Silver Lake who own #Chelsea have been buying up US Minor league #baseball teams. It's estimated that they own 34% of minor league teams. All players salaries are paid by the major league team to which the minor league side is affiliated. As a result some Minor league sides are very profitable.

Jimmy Carter was an Officer, a Gentleman, a President, and a Humanitarian.
His faith was shown, not flaunted.
His devotion to humankind was humbly delivered.
His authenticity can’t be match.
He was the definition of a good soul.
Our world is dimmer without his energy.

25 yrs ago a kg of roasted coffee beans cost approx £7.50 wholesale. Allowing for an 8 and half gram throw that's 117 cups of #coffee. Lets call it 105 after allowing for some waste. A £2.50 a cup that's £262.50. That's why coffee shops starting springing up everywhere. Now they're closing in droves
