Trying to draw a horse is tough at the best of times, but sketching in the dark at the superb National Theatre production of War horse at the Brighton Centre is on another level.

The staggering puppet horses are brought to life by three very talented operators. I confess I ‘cheated’ on the final sketch and did it from a photo at home.

I am standing in church, singing along to a Taylor Swift song which I’ve never heard before. It’s OK though, because the karaoke style lyrics are on the big screen and a choir is leading us through it.

This was my first time at the Sunday Assembly Brighton, a monthly secular church on the border of Brighton and Hove.

The church is packed. This month the theme is ‘outsiders’.

One of the speakers, David, told a moving story about his experience as a volunteer host for the charity Sussex Nightstop. Afterwards we sang Teenage dirtbag.

The atmosphere was great and by the time we were singing starman I was really quite into it. Only in Brighton & Hove!

My day started with commuters at the Flying Coffee Bean, Brighton station.

Followed by a pilgrimage to Waterstones specifically to sniff books, drink coffee and sketch out of that window.

Can you believe someone had already nicked the table. What’s more, he was ‘reading’* of all thing. Outrageous!

*I very much approve of reading, just not in my seat.
