Our first Eastern Angles show was Sherlock Holmes & The Mummy's Tomb.  It was written by Julian Harries so hardly plagiarism that Common Ground's Christmas show this year is Sherlock Holmes & The Warlock of Whitechapel.

It can't possibly be that even less has happened in Walberswick than Little Mutterings, it must be that we haven't noticed.

 JOBS  Two CSCS labourers wanted to start next week on the outskirts of Framlingham.

Regrettably already Christmas looms and you've already missed last posting international economy for Australia, Eastern Europe and lots of other countries.  Saturday is last posting for Western Europe.

Heartening that there were so many people in the St Michael's Framlingham churchyard yesterday for Remembrance Sunday.

Don't know if it's Brexit or the approach or perhaps arrival of winter but house sales around near the coast seem slow.

We sought of knew that supermarkets were selling vinyl again but still a bit surprised to see it in the Martlesham Tesco.  What next?  Perhaps the Pharmacy will rename itself the Chemists and offer one hour film processing?

Today the twice(ish) a month digest emailed out to the 1800+ ntcers on the list ... click Jaques Tati to go on the list for a free copy.

Life Skills 26:  We first drank a Rombouts drip coffee at the charming Geffrye Museum in East London; it came with a matching cup and biscuit instantly besotting us.  As the popularity spread inexperienced staff (which seemed to be most of them) would overfill the dripper leaving the drinker to deal with an overflowing cup.  We bought our first drippers certainly for decades and found them sadly gutless, using two improved the situation a bit.

Sunday fortnight a charity fair in the Hasketon Victory Hall, a quid to get in but that does include refreshments.

We shall be visiting ArtDog London tomorrow week at the Campsea Ashe Station House partly because we've been told the venue's makeover is impressive.

Next available ad slot above and in the twice(ish) monthly digest is 13th December.  Tell near the coast about yourself with £11.95 for two months ... explained here.

We saw RoughCast Theatre's very excellent A Midsummer Night's Dream this summer and not least of all it looked brilliant.  Their next show is the black comedy Arsenic and Old Lace with an open read through/informal casting at the Wingfield Barns 7:30pm Wednesday 20 November.

Political discussion on the Fen Meadow Framlingham ... well it is Suffolk.

Apologies for mentioning Christmas but Brundish has got it's festive diary sorted starting with An Advent Cantata last Sunday in November.

In association with Poetry in Aldeburgh 8-10 November three women artists Perienne Christian, Alice-Andrea Ewing and Tessa Newcomb are showing at the Peter Pears Gallery as Purslane, Peas & Bladderwrack ... no we don't know what Purslane is either.

The route for today's Framlingham Flyers cross country went round the mere and was suitably muddy.

Canadian actress Shea  Wojtus has joined Framlingham Ladies.

We have friends who were living down an unmade road between Dennington and Stradbroke.  Their dish washer overheated and filled the house with thick smoke.  They heard the fire engine siren approach the end of the road ... and then go away.  The what3words app would have helped.  It divides the world into a grid of three metre squares and assigns each a unique three word address.  We hadn't worked out even a modest house will have more than one address.

It's the Framlingham Flyers cross country this Sunday.  It will start on the Castle Meadow though we're a bit vague about the time.  A water person at this year's 10k told us the route was changed slightly last year but surely it will still include the perilous swoop down into the castle moat.
