Sunday stuff

Today been to Rye, in Sussex, nr Kent border. Nothing but good things to say about it - lots of nice pubs, teashops, bookshops, antique shops, hills, beach a few miles away etc. Except perhaps the lack of a direct motorway (the M20 goes close though).

Rye, folks, is where it's at.


Annoying headline of the day in the Observer, "High street sales fall to six-year low".

They mean, "year-on-year decline in high street sales worst for six years". It's rather different. Think of it applying to your own salary...

"Stars of CCTV". What a good album. I might become 18 again.

Cricket. England have won only their second competitive test against Australia since 1989, which is Splendid. That they almost lost it is not. But what a great backdrop to the third test. Now, given Vaughan's rather poor performance so far, when will Flintoff be made captain, to ensure he never plays well again?
