Linkblog 🔗: Kavus Torabi and Richard Wileman – Heaven’s Sun 🎵
From the shimmering guitars that introduce Particles of Light, you’re immediately on notice that there is something distinctly ‘other’ about this collaboration between the Prince of Gong, Kavus Torabi, and Karda Estra’s uncanny composer and solo artist, Richard Wileman.
🏏 Double century for Ollie Pope just after tea. Then he’s out stumped for 205. And England declare on 524-4. All happening.
🏏 Pope has reached his century and Duckett out on 182 at Lord’s today. Brilliant partnership 👏
Another walk with my daughter this morning - 6.5 miles, we’re upping the ante 🙂

After watching/listening to the England v Ireland Test throughout today I’m now following the Yorkshire Vikings v Lancashire Lightning Vitality Blast T20 match. Reminds me how good the Blast competition can be - I still prefer it to The Hundred 🏏
🏏 England v Ireland Test match. Now the summer has started.
Some views over the Cynon Valley yesterday morning whilst walking with my daughter.
The ground is drying in the good weather making paths more passable; we covered over 5 miles, including some steep climbs, in 2 hours 🚶♂️
And the skylarks were singing, which I love to hear
Old review – M Night Shyamalan’s fast-ageing beach horror is top notch hokum 🎥 🔗
Old is a bit like Alex Garland’s The Beach, but with a dab of Twilight Zone creepiness and an ensemble cast that Agatha Christie might have imagined. Most of all, I found myself thinking that this could have come from the original series of Star Trek – and that at any moment, William Shatner might beam down among the panicky, deteriorating beach-dwellers, phaser at the ready. Sadly for them, however, these existentially stricken vacationers are on their own.
