The sun shone on the highest cricket ground in the southeast of England. Yep. You have read that score correctly. We scored three hundred and seventy-one runs from 210 balls. My first thought is, should we have declared? Mr second, will we be invited back next year? I bloody hope so as the teas here seem to get better every year (Ed: Looking at the photo of you with sandwiches piled six high, looks like you made sure I didn’t miss out).

I didn’t get to see Interstellar at the cinema when it was released, so took advantage of rerun at my local Odeon. A few swift halves prior didn’t help my understanding of the fifth dimension and time continuum, but several previous `Pint of Science’ experiences should have prepared me for a lack of clarify alcohol brings to those subjects.
