2k swim this afternoon. Nice bit of cloud cover and a much, much quieter pond.

Gloriously bonkers and brilliant. The sound is mental! #theodyssey

This time last week I was hiking in Dogtown, Gloucester, MA. Olson’s in hand looking for the James Merry boulders. I found them. Longer post incoming once I’ve got my thoughts in order.

That’s our flat and Mini 🤣

To Gloucester! NYC to Boston by Amtrak, then Uber to Gloucester. An auspicious rainbow arrival to my Olson pilgrimage. It’s so weird and incredible being HERE.

Milano on Thursday evening.

A B&W photo of a woman washing her feet in a water fountain with her wet dog next to her. The woman’s hair resembles the dog’s fur.

Thanks for the tipoff @harrysword.bsky.social Harry, they’re brilliant. He’s totally mad and hilarious with it. Fantastic.

Two books by Nicolas Freeling. Kitchen Book and Cook Book.

First 1K swim in a while. It’s proper hot here. So grateful for the ponds.

An uplifting beautiful night at the Barbican with Dego & 2000Black meets Theo Parrish & Sound Signature Voices. Fantastic.

A morning spent marking MA case studies followed by a glorious swim and a cold beer (well two)

Ben Tye@bentye· Apr 27

Forgot this one. The view from the window.

Ben Tye@bentye· Apr 27

Some more. Very cursed.

Ben Tye@bentye· Apr 27

Various cursed images from the hotel we stayed in on Saturday night. You’re welcome.

Assembled our hot composter 💪🏼😎

Since moving to London nearly 15 years ago. I have a great affection for the river Fleet. Whether swimming in the waters at the pond, or tracing her path through the city and culture. Here’s one of the few spots below the Heath where she’s both visible and audible. Outside the Prince Albert. Camden

Pointing at the old grating in the road through which you can see and hear the river Fleet some way below.

Books on the lost rivers of London, Blake and London’s Ley lines.

Kathryn Tickell and her amazing band The Darkness at Cecil Sharp House tonight. ❤️

A lovely evening in the company of Eliza Carthy, Nick Hart, Angeline Morrison, Graham Coxon, Jon Wilks, Gwena Harman and Rowan Gatherer, and Finn Curran-Carthy. Playing the songs of Martin Carthy who sadly is now unable to travel to perform.

Glorious swim day and a chilly but pleasant 8C in the water. Warm in the sun afterwards.
