Hard frost this morning. Also I note the squirrels have once again not tidied up their mess.
Status:
Had a dentist appointment today, my first in 6 years it turned out. He took one look and pronounced my teeth perfect. It was almost embarrassing how little he had to do. And I have to say, with my body not being at its best these days, it’s nice to have something that works.
Since I was on the high street I popped into work with the camera to take some photos. Didn’t stay for long, obviously, but spent a bit of time in the cookery school, looking for nice compositions.
Also noticed this nice effect through the cooling racks in the bakery. Couldn’t get it to work in colour though so stripped it all back. Probably won’t be used for marketing, this one.
Overnight listening:
- In Our Time: Corals - very interesting, but essentially three scientists repeatedly saying coral reefs are going extinct.
- Night Tracks - Opens with a piece by ZRI, named for the Red Hedgehog Tavern in Vienna which I have now learned about.
Reading:
- Space Travel’s In My Blood: Dan Dare ’78 - Discourse 2000 continues.
- Make Culture Weird Again - caught my weird-radar attention, obviously. Was wondering how long before Mark Fisher would be mentioned, and there he is. What’s missing from this analysis is rent. If artists are to ignore the market they can’t also pay rent.
Watching:
Jigsaws completed:
- Old wooden door - so much blue…
