Poems and a symphony
Up early and returning to the long poem The Moth Display that I started several months ago, and have steadily added, and reworked it over the last six months. A slow process, but I want to enter it for a particular competition which is coming soon.
Met Lorraine for a light lunch at the Tin Drum, then from there we went to see Galactic Symphonies, more on this on my daywork blog. To be honest I wasn't expecting too much and ended up being blown away by it. Splendid stuff, and an experience for all the senses - all in a sparsely populated school hall.
Before the show we started looking at the boards covered with dozens of names of those "sons of the school" who died in the first world war, several clearly brothers. What a shameful business that war was.
Lorraine went home to her place to cook plaice for her pals, while I returned home to work more on The Moth Display. Later I watched a C4 TV documentary called Life After People about what would happen to the world if people suddenly became extinct overnight. A fascinating premise, but the programme itself was thin, and became increasingly disappointing with a repetitive CGI overload of buildings falling down.
Then blamelessly to bed.
