Trying a BrewDog Electric India - relatively light and less “aggressive” than a lot of BrewDog beers. Very nice 🍺.

Checked in at Delico Deli. Americano & panini for breakfast.

Another Sky at Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff last night. Strong backlights, mists and shadows. Great music, really pleased that I got tickets as soon as I saw their set on Jools Holland’s Later last year. @anotherskymusic 🎵

Got home from work in time to watch most of West Indies hitting 21 fours and 23 sixes in their ODI innings against England. Chris Gayle with 135 off 129 balls, including three fours and 12 sixes. Very impressive, very entertaining. England now need 361 to win. 🏏

🔖 Cooking Sunday roast causes indoor pollution ‘worse than Delhi’

During the day of cooking, PM2.5 levels in the house rose to 200 micrograms per cubic metre for one hour, more than the 143 micrograms per cubic metre averaged in Delhi, the sixth most polluted city in the world, and far higher than the central London average of 15 micrograms per cubic metre.

[…] The levels breached World Health Organization guidelines of 10 micrograms per cubic metre for eight-and-a-half-hours. The simple act of making toast sent PM2.5 levels up to 30 micrograms per cubic metre.

While gas flames and charred food churned out fine soot particles, others came from animal fat, cooking oils, and grime in the oven and and on pots and pans used in making the meal. Still more came from tiny particles of skin that the cooks and their guests shed from their clothes.

🔖 Welsh National Opera’s Un Ballo in Maschera - terrific gory fun with pirates, witchcraft and murder. Just seen this and definitely agree with the review.

Un ballo in maschera - interval.

Pre-opera glass of wine. At Wales Millennium Centre for Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera.
