A walk on the mild side
Writhing and itching through the night, due to MSG. However once up began to get things done. Wrote to Simon Scardanelli after agreeing with Matt that the latest mix of the album was the one.
Wasted half an hour waiting to talk to someone from the EDF power company. Out at lunchtime to go to the bank and I dropped in to Brighton Museum and Art Gallery to see an exhibition of Ragamalas, Indian miniatures inspired by music. Simply exquisite.
Met Dipak this afternoon at Marwood's cafe, where they do - excuse me - a damn fine cup of coffee. We were discussing our CDs and hooking up with the Shakespeare Trio for a performance in February. We ended up going on a long walk, around the pier and then along the coast to the Marina where we stopped for another coffee and a beer and talked for some time in the Weatherspoons pub there, which has big windows overlooking the marina. As Dipak and I talked a murmuration of starlings gathered swooping in the air, as dusk arrived they stooped down in swathes to land under the pub. We were looking at them from a few feet away. A spectacular sight. Suddenly felt mild-mannered and relaxed, and really pleased to be able to have time just to look at starlings and chat to Dipak.
Betty called from Oxford Street to say she had been for an audition for something on MTV and had to eat a cream bun,and had been buying clothes and was off to see Billy Elliot.
Home and cooked a rather good fish curry for Lorraine when she got home. Watching Masterchef on TV. Then I watched the final documentary in the Symphony series describing the development of the Symphony over time. Rather good. I'm liking Sibelius.
Below some yearling gulls; the new wheel which arrived in Brighton a couple of months ago; one of the Ragamalas.
