Resident of Brighton (UK). Lover of cricket, #BHAFC, space exploration, puns, rewilding and leaky dams, jazz, Civil engineering and ecclesiastical architecture. Occasional Sea swimmer.
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.

Happy Tuesday.
These impromptu pints will stop about the time that the clocks go back and instead, I suppose at I shall have to go to the gym at this time instead *sighs*

It's sunny again this afternoon, so I am having tea (in favour of alcohol), at FIKA, near the artisan swimming pool.

The Tea is not pictured, as I had to move swiftly to capture the Volks passing by.

FFS, where are we all going then?

It's still sunny and warm, so I am having a pint of rhubarb cider.

Well it did clear up but I made the mistake of poking the sea with a stick and it got angry.

Our clever Saxon oaks make smaller acorns near the Kentish border, to deter potential pilfering from the Kentish ne'erdowells!

Here is a picture that I took at the weekend, of a fine SUSSEX acorn next to a crab apple.

A sample of birds heard in a two minute period at Mum's house. No Woodpeckers have appeared today.
There's a buzzard overhead too.

Lured in (after a swim) by the massive signage and I rather enjoyed the subversive (and explicit) nature of their content, you might be able to zoom in on the green cushion for an example.

BENT. Does what it says on the tin.

Probably not a place to take your kids.

Teddy and I were out on Iping with Stedham commons in #Sussex this morning and I heard, then saw, my first ever Stonechat.

I was curious, so did it myself. Unsurprisingly, I am a reply guy!

Some post tea cricket action at Hove County cricket ground.

There's a bit of cloud and a light breeze, so it's the perfect conditions.

I walked to this funny shaped tree [1].

This is possibly visible in pictures 2, 3 & 4, which contain the yellow field from my original post and my finger confidently pointing out said tree; four miles away....

Walked to here from the wonderfully named 'Bopeep' car park, which is just the other side of the yellow field at the top of the picture. Absolutely beautiful day. #Sussex

I do but where do I find them?

Below is a screenshot of some of the Add-ins that I have encountered - should I be disabling some of these?

Everyone else has gone to bed.
So it's just the cricket, me and Ted

If you see this, post a beach picture from your gallery.

5°C colder than yesterday? I think that I might stay in bed.
