After meeting someone on Friday at a @archifringe.bsky.social book event that swam every single pool in Edinburgh in a day (and is publishing a book about it) I took myself to the pool finally to swim 'proper lengths' today. Not even sure if I'd manage 1 I did 13. Well, I'll take that 13.

Hamlet Hail to the Thief at @factoryintl.bsky.social is absolutely worth the schlep to Manchester - get on it! Some of the performances are stunning, and the music...well expected (still probably one of my favourite Radiohead LPs)
