In other news, the Harvey's does seem slightly better in the Two Doves than in the Red Lion. It's such a temperamental and I'm sure it'll swing again. 🍺

An heroic final partnership falls just short, and succumbs to Canterbury, who must surely win the Championship, and already has all but secured promotion to the Premiership for 2024. 🏏

I do feel mischievous putting and in the same sentence. The locals really don't like it.

@pejacoby @gnitro Harvey's of Lewes in Sussex is perhaps the greatest ale of them all, when treated right, and the Two Doves in is one of the very few places outside that county which does it well.

For , a grave that caught my eye in Hill Cemetery (I think - there or London Road ten minutes away. I went to both the same day). Mostly, because why would an Italian who died off Papua New Guinea be buried in ? Alas, no answer revealed online, but I did find a picture of him with not one but two beauty queens, which retails for Β£375 from Getty Images. Copyright prevents me attaching, but Google Arturo Mischiati and look in Images, et voilΓ !

I took this photo in London Road Cemetery, , , for , purely for his magnificent name. And yet, there's a fair amount online about him, and his wife too. For example:

Birdseye was the overseer of the South Australian Company’s flocks and herds and he sailed to South Australia in 1836 on the Lady Mary Pelham. On board he had charge of a flock of the company’s sheep, much to the annoyance of Captain Ross and his crew.

N is a bit heat exhausted after the full day yesterday, so I'm heading out alone to Hill Cemetery. N tells me we barely scratched the surface at our last visit. Might also drop by London Road Cemetery a short walk away if there's time.

A pub we go to in does pizza from a company that can't do maths, so N and I split a 12" pizza for Β£10, instead of two 8" pizzas for Β£15. πŸ•

The next three weeks of League Championship fixtures sees a round robin of derby matches between Bickley Park, , and . First up is the first two. Looking forward to a pint on the Bickley Park rooftop enclosure next Saturday if the weather is hot. These pictures were taken from there last summer. 🏏

A good day. Saw Club win comfortably and go top of the 2nd tier, had some great jerk chicken, rice and peas there, then watched most of the in the Red Lion and had a fabulous salami pizza. Now on a rammed 208 back home and it's still sunny.
