Fulfilled a long-standing ambition of watching David Murray play live last night, and couldn't have chosen better circs than his trio with Ingebrigt Håker Flaten & Paal Nilssen-Love at Cafe OTO.

And now that's the South Downs Way done: 100 miles LAMF. Prettier than NDW but beset by Other People Enjoying Themselves, and the knee-martyring has now given me patellofemoral pain syndrome, so I'm on the strong beers again, cooking up the next mission. Keeps my head straight.
