To the announcement yesterday evening of @BPO_orchestra's autumn/winter season, which has many pleasingly unexpected items. Be sure to book (open to the public a week today). Yesterday's convivial gathering, with Joanna MacGregor, included percussionists and Reich's "Clapping".

A remarkable article about a terrible crime. This reconstruction should be available on the NHS rather than crowdfunded. @Brunswick_Green @TheGreenParty.

Shamsa Sharawe made her name campaigning against female genital cutting. Then she heard about surgery to rebuild what had been taken from her.

To @TownerGallery paintings and other work gathered as Sussex Modernism. A good number of late-Twenties views of the sea from Portslade by David Jones. I did not know Lee Miller's photograph of Saul Steinberg posed, his pen seeming to draw Long Man of Wilmington on the hill.

To @nvt_brighton for its sold-out run of the Richard Eyre take on Ibsen's Ghosts, which made me gasp all the more: it turned out to be acting debut of @robshepherd who was as good as the rest of the excellent cast. Shall catch up with the disc of Judi Dench in it.

To a congenial Walrus pub in Brighton for @CohenBobbycoco in James Callas Ball's new, three-hander play The Flat Earthers set in a pub. Wittily humane, its meeting of conspiracy theorists will surely be seen around, I mean across the world - even in Hove, subject of a running gag.

To @brightdome for Anoushka Shankar's very enjoyable New Dawn sitar concert with multi-instrumentist jazz trio who had to speak on her behalf because she had lost her voice after joining a Festival audience in Yoko Ono's participatory "Scream".

To @brightdome for @LPOrchestra concert including John Luther Adams's Vespers for the Blessed Earth. Much talk in all quarters about it: agreement that, ironically, it wasted the resources - talk among eight on the 'bus overheard by somebody who said she was in the chorus. 1/2.

Successive evenings @brightdome. First, @londonsymphony Leila Josefowicz rousing in Stravinsky's violin concerto; second, @CastalianQtet joined by @ShekuKM who, solo, played the Suite by Natalie Klouda - as marvellously varied as Schubert quintet D956. @Brunswick_Green @ShanksSue.

I have been looking at the two late-Fifties volumes by @RCAF_ARC combined by @PenguinUKBooks as Physical Fitness (1964). A diagram shows that a well-exercised body is more efficient than a petrol engine.
