”Certain kinds of people require adventure in their lives, and therefore require a bit of adventure in their music. We were happy to supply that."
Bob Weir

10 March 2026 The harbour groynes and beach in fog.
This day.
Nice! I hope your move goes well. It’s always weird moving. Mixed emotions. Our last move, my son came home from uni to help. When we’d reached the new place and were sitting amongst the boxes, he said, “Can we go home now?”

It’s near the White Cube, Bermondsey which sometimes has interesting things to look at and is free. Plus other small galleries, cafes and pubs. And it’s interesting to see how they’ve integrated the old warehouses with the new architecture. That’s you sorted then. 😂
I am naturally attracted to a textile exhibition or just textiles. I didn’t see the Palestine exhibition. Time is weird, especially as one ages.
Thanks Matt. ☺️
Fog. Cyclist, just visible. 30 mile per hour sign.
A Brighton block of flats, just an eerie shadow.
Some oil containers near the harbour.
Today. Robbed by fog.
Cheers me dear. Chin-chin.

😂🙄 thank you. It’s gotten worse as the day goes on. The fog horns, in the harbour, are calling out which I find reassuringly cosy.
Thank you ☺️

Oh dear, they are tiresome.
You’re very welcome.
I don’t know if that’s true or not. I‘d have to do a bit more work. It does feel like there are a lot of shouters out there, saying “Look at me.” But there are also women quietly doing worthwhile things.There is an obit section in the Guardian newspaper called ‘Other Lives’. Some notable unknowns!
I also learned about Helena Normanton on Friday. Among other things, she was the first married British woman to be issued a passport in her maiden name. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helena_...
If you get a chance watch ‘City Dreamers’. I think you’d like it.

A quiet, surreal plaza at sunset or sunrise, rendered in clean, geometric shapes. Two low, rectangular buildings with arcaded façades frame the scene on the left and right; their pale walls and orange-red arch interiors catch the warm light. The ground is a wide, empty, ochre-brown square that stretches toward the horizon.
