had an absolutely brutal moment of self awareness as I realized that when I listen to ambient music called like Aleaeris 7: the Adonis Tapes by Hørst it's fulfilling the same purpose as my grandparents buying records called The Jimmy Cresp Orchestra Presents Tahitian Melodies

Amazing test match. Well done Australia, My (Turkish) wife though was very impressed that Sam Konstas listened to his Greek mother and was wearing a jumper in the last session

After several years of few good books by journalists about Turkey, two new vivid, insightful ones came out. The first inter-splices contemporary dynamics of Istanbul with the history of its fall to the Ottomans. The second illustrates the republic's last century with a series of historical vignettes

M’y other cricket claim to fame is being a founding member of the Turkish cricket association although unlike @spinesideburn.bsky.social and @ozkanka.bsky.social I never got to play for Turkey internationally.
I bowled in the nets to Greenidge when he was a pro at Greenock.
