The Sydney Morning Herald has just (about 2 hours ago) reported that:
This year, 26 cities joined Earth Hour as official partner cites, including — along with all of Australia’s capitals — Atlanta, Bangkok, Chicago, Christchurch, Copenhagen, Dublin, Manila, Montreal, Odense, Ottawa, Phoenix, San Francisco, Tel Aviv and Toronto.
In the US, the lights were going out on San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island, and Chicago’s Sears Tower. North of the border, Canada was turning off the lights at Toronto’s CN Tower and the floodlights at Niagara Falls.
In Britain, Brighton Pier was blacked out, and Prince Charles gave Earth Hour royal approval by turning off the lights at Highgrove House, his Gloucestershire home.
Now I do appreciate that it’s very late in Sydney now, and the SMH’s reporters want to be tucked up in bed at home, but that’s no excuse for such…

About five minutes’ walk from our house:
A man has been seriously injured in a shooting in Lewes town centre, Sussex Police have said.
Officers said they were called to Southover High Street in the East Sussex town by a member of the public on Tuesday evening.

Part of the reason we moved out of London was to get away from this sort of thing.
