Rainy Bank Holiday Monday. Headed for cinema to see Ready Player One - no hope, absolutely packed, so going to see Black Panther instead. 🎬
Spring by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Spring
To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death.
But what does that signify?
Not only under ground are the brains of men
Eaten by maggots.
Life in itself
Is nothing,
An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs.
It is not enough that yearly, down this hill,
April
Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.

Now I’ve just got to investigate Ursula K Le Guin’s electronica album and the associated book Always Coming Home
‘Deeply weird and enjoyable’

‘People have lost the ability to even know what a joke is. It’s very Orwellian’
Looking forward to seeing them in just over a fortnight. 🎵
Bunch of Grapes, Pontypridd for great food and even better beers.
First listen to Solar Divination by Kavus Torabi 🎵
Experimenting with a few crossposting ideas between Microblog, 10Centuries and Pnut. Not entirely happy with the way in which links in posts pass through (or don’t!).
Google and Facebook data – Despite myself, I’m quite impressed with the data that Google holds on me, as detailed in Are you ready? This is all the data Facebook and Google have on you. The timeline locations and ‘My Activity’ sections of the data seem particularly comprehensive! In comparison, for me, the download of my Facebook data seems relatively superficial.

Now reading The Executor by Blake Morrison. 📚
Ludlow Castle.
Long Mynd - a bit cold and misty.
Ludlow Brewery.
Definitely something up with Dark Sky (I hope!)
Switched my radio on at 4am this morning to listen to a bit of the cricket - England’s first Test against New Zealand. England bowled out for 58 in 20.4 overs in their first innings! Disappointing to say the least. 🏏
