This is a good but vague story 1, I wonder what the truth is?

I'll tell you the truth, it's a group of last chance Cuban desperados in an American jail on their way to the execution chamber given one last chance, a mission to capture Cuba for the Americans. They're provided with guns and a boat but if they get caught they're on their own. That's definitely what happened.

Coffee delivery coming today. I'm running on Tesco beans at the moment rather than my artisan subscription delivery. And they're fine. I've put some in the freezer, did you know you can freeze coffee beans? Apparently a coffee shop near work on Leather Lane grinds their beans direct from frozen.

Day off today, nothing to do really. Actually done a few minutes of work, just keeping an eye on a deployment process, and doing some washing. Waiting for T1, going to take him to the gym before his late school start. Then coming back to leave the car here but walking back into Folkestone, haven't walked anywhere all week. Then tonight off to The Ship for dinner and quiz. Then tomorrow another day off and it's pay day! I wonder what tax news that will bring? It definitely gets me to a premium bonds landmark.

THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY I was at a Christian Death gig that I did not enjoy very much. I had seen The Bigger The God the day before and I think this forms part of my twenty gigs in twenty days or something that I don't have full details of. I remember I had three weeks off from the university, I had originally planned to go travelling on my own, maybe USA, maybe Australia. But then I bottled it. More old news as it comes in.

Light cloud and a fresh breeze, 9 - 11℃.

Estimated 3056 cups of coffee ☕️ from my espresso machine 2 probably comes to 87.4p a cup (including 4+ years of coffee ☕️ and now servicing 2 so not the 'leccy).

  1. Oh actually the story has been updated on the BBC since I first heard it and it is less vague now. Cuba has accused 10 people aboard a US-registered speedboat it intercepted off its coast on Wednesday of planning "an infiltration with terrorist aims". Border guards shot dead four people and injured the other six on the boat, the Cuban interior ministry said, alleging that those aboard the Florida-registered vessel had fired first.
