7:30 tonight Suffolk's Got More Talent at the Leiston Cinema ... no, we've never been there but it sounds a bit like the Harwich Electric Palace.

Carols on the Quay tonight in Mistley, Christmas Eve carols in Brundish church 6:30pm whilst the Old Glory Molly Dancers will be in both Southwold and Walberswick.

7pm:  The Harwich Electric Palace have cancelled tonight's film show because the projectionist can't get in and we've just experienced quite heavy snow between Woodbridge and the A14.

Running this month at the Beyond The Image gallery near Eye is a show of images by Gwyn Bilby from the Whitby Goth Weekend earlier this year.

Near another coast Littlehampton has not only the somewhere or another's longest bench but probably the biggest marital aid too ... it must be the name ... Littlehampton.

The baker's octopus in La Herradura got it right!  (Thanks Sue)

Pretty much non-stop Isle of Man TT on ITV4 at the mo' ... there's a history doc starting soon ... should be sidecars at 9pm.

Plenty of training time for the three dudes who will be cycling from Framlingham to Brighton in May.

Mistley Quay near Manningtree is a thoughtful place, a quietly working

wharf which should have a view like this, but there's now a two metre high wire fence all along the quay, so absolutely Free the Quay!

Ryanair, the replacement bus service of air carriers.

We thought this cormorant on the Solent was at least a bit interesting but our hosts said they saw them all the time.

We made our first visit to a Tesco Express last Sunday in Manningtree.  There were three different kinds of croissant but no peas or light bulbs in any form.

We've heard that there were fields of 90 riders early in the season but yesterday's sodden and last of the season EADT League cyclo-cross at Mistley near Manningtree had somewhat fewer starters.  Well organised despite the pervasive rain with tea and cake in the race HQ, hi tech PDA result correlation and a general air of camaraderie ... but as the riders struggled up the steep, slippery and muddy climbs for 'n'th time the rewards did seem tenuous even to ex-bikies like ourselves.  More pics here.
