On a whim, I went to the Royal Festival Hall to see Bruce Liu playing Ravel. Pretty cool. He makes the fiendishly difficult appear entirely effortless.
I think last time I went there, I was a callow youth. It's bigger than I remember!

A broad stage is flanked by audience boxes sticking out of the walls like the Star Wars senate. On the stage some musicians are preparing. Not the whole orchestra, just the woodwind and a few cellos. A huge organ fills the far wall behind the stage.
A view looking up the Thames to Big Ben, from a concrete balcony a couple of storeys up. A cable stay bridge, with white tubular steel struts, crosses the river. The sky is mixed cloud and blue sky, with the sun lining the clouds bright silver.

Loooong bike ride, then dinner out with my wife at Evie’s Bakery. One of my favorite spots — that kind of funky, eclectic, indie restaurant you can always walk in and find a table.
Great food, but the desserts, and particularly the cakes (they don’t call it Evie’s Entrees… 😉) are fantastic. Been working our way through the different flavors over time.
Tonight, we split Boston Cream and Strawberry. Figured I’d better get some pics or @…

A blue plate contains a slice of Boston Cream cake with three layers. Next to it, a yellow plate holds a slice of strawberry cake topped with light icing and some strawberry filling.

Content warning:

Seems every news portal is posting the AI video "Narrative of Victory" which supposedly was distributed by "Iran Embassy in China" on Waibo or "Iranian Media" - but no portal is linking to the original post or distribution. So far I have been unable to trace it back to an original source.
I find this deeply disturbing.

Nice here in the fediverse.
But have you ever been to Ankh-Morpork?
City of a thousand surprises
#GNUPterry #gnuterrypratchett #GNUSirPterry

A yellow sticker in the style of the Baden-Württemberg Nett hier campaign. Text in black says "Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Ankh-Morpork? Stadt der tausend Überraschungen" (English translation in the post). Below that the seal of the city of Ankh-Morpork, held by two hippos, crowned by a Morpork owl, with cabbages, money bags, the tower of art and the river Ankh. The banner flowing says Quanti Canicula Ille In Finestra (how much is the doggy in the window)
