had an an unexpected treat of a night out with matthew last night who was down for the test with his primary ancestor. sporting endeavour in general does not seem to be a source of great joy for me at present though no doubt in time the tide will turn in favour of kent's county championship team, west ham and england. before the drinking began, i went to the cafe which remains high in my estimation. i also bought a couple of singles which was quite fun. they are ok, but i was a little miffed to fail to find in the reins or some loud thunder in the racks. oh well. i have heard them both before so not that miffed.
