So, farewell then, Porridge Radio. From playing mid-afternoon at Indietracks to doing headline tours around the world, you’ve absolutely smashed it

Tried to order steak and ale pie in a pub a couple of weeks ago but they’d run out. Tonight I got to close the tab
A lovely pie and a pint

🎶 I think I’m gonna die in this house 🎶
The set of Noel’s House Party, the disconcertingly popular Saturday night UK tv staple from the 1990s. The horror icon Mr Blobby is pointing at Noel from the top of a medieval style staircase

As ever, Eve was excellent. Maybe the most fun wrestling out there right now
Two wrestlers stretch another against the ropes, while their tag team partner cries out and the ref tries to intervene

Sunniest day for a while so there are clouds of dragonflies (blue damselflies, I think) on mating flights around our local pond

Went walking somewhere weird, lads
Some stark trees next to a cliff-edge looking quite Mad Max-y A dead tree that’s fallen down a cliff and is now in the surf A metal rail extending into the distance next to a salt marsh An abandoned car on some shingle next to the sea

Playing through Red Dead Redemption 2, which came out in 2018, and it's uncanny how well this in-game newspaper article predicted the current US situation
President Alfred Macalister signed the Tariff Act last week, raising custom duties by an average of 60 per cent. Shopkeepers and traders said the tariffs will surely cause business to close and prices to skyrocket. Imported woolen products now face a 90 per cent rate. The President asserted at the signing that tariffs result in national prosperity. "We must keep foreign products from our shares. They strip our workers of labor, food from the tables of our families, and only seek to benefit rich titans of industry abroad." he said at the signing. The President's popularity has been waning during his campaign for American isolationism, and especially after a typhoid epidemic ravaged and killed 2,500 troops in military bases across the country under his administration

After going past the Camley Street nature reserve round the back of Kings Cross on the train countless times, yesterday I decided to finally visit. Was expecting to be underwhelmed, but turns out it’s lovely

About four hours on my bike today, down treacherous muddy lanes in the clammy heat, in search of a seafood shack in Epping Forest. Entirely worth it

Amundsen correctly predicting the impact of social media
He had spent a great deal of time weighing the arguments in favour and against, and had concluded that wireless communication might only add to the crew's feelings of anxiety and helplessness while offering no solution to the problems it generated. "
