Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella.
Another interesting night’s (for me) cricket - New Zealand did incredibly well to hold out to win the series. 🏏
Robotic bees 🐝 on Mars! – Planet of the apis
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.

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!).
