Desk day

Lorraine off to Rhymetime, then she and Beth went off to Basingstoke to spend some time with Glenice, Beth's granny.

A busy desk day. I decided to feature Martyn Crucefix's translation of the Duino Elegies. His translation is very good, although the Spender Leishman version is always going to be the translation for me, as this is what I first began reading when I was 20. I recorded with Robin this morning, and then editing this afternoon. Additionally I had another Understory Conversation this afternoon for two hours -- with interesting thoughts from Emma, Marilyn, Linda and Charlotte. It's all very supportive and nice. A brief walk by the sea later. Made a vegetable chilli and ate it with Lorraine when she got back, a bit brain dead.
