Purple Rain
I haven’t got a great deal to say for myself tonight; it was another routine kind of day. I had Arabic coffee again at breakfast, today from a Hammersley & Co demitasse, made in the Potteries at Longton, Stoke on Trent, some time between 1912 and 1939 according to the mark.
I have 4 demitasses of much the same vintage from English manufacturers and I use them in rotation, although the Crown Derby Imari one tends to be kept for decorative purposes. They all came from eBay a couple of years ago. I didn’t pay more than £10 for any of them, and it looks as though prices have gone up since then.
I also listened to a podcast–twice–and I’ve pasted it in below. It’s an interview with Dr Jason Leitch, a key public health adviser to Scottish Government. The discussion is wide ranging and informative and, by coincidence, covers a lot of the same ground I wrote about yesterday but with more authority.
I’ve linked to the Spotify version but I know it’s also on Acast and presumably your podcast provider of choice too.

On 27 March I wrote a couple of things here that I bring up to date. The first was that I’d managed then to get to 23 1/2 minutes at a relatively light resistance setting on the exercise bike, and was thinking about upping the resistance. Today I happily cycled 31 1/2 minutes at the higher resistance setting and felt pretty good afterwards. That doesn’t make me as fit as I’d like to be, or anywhere near it, but it’s better than I was two weeks ago.
Also, that was the day I had a semi-permanent purple hair dye applied. It had faded quite a lot, so I had it redone tonight.

Music tonight from Everything But The Girl.
