Just pondering the fact that a the yolk of a chicken’s egg is generally considered to be a single cell. Just a really, really big one.

Listened back to an official bootleg of Texan jazz/funk collective Snarky Puppy from a gig I was at in Leeds in 2015. I had forgotten the crowd chanting “Yorkshire… Yorkshire… Yorkshire…” at them, which they wove into the start of the set… brilliant!
