Dragon In Situ

Looking very at home

Dragon Commissioner

My new dragon finished, by Leona Roberts at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop.

Robin

New chum.

Chiminea

Spent the saved-up £2 coins on a lockdown strategy.

Squirrel 2020

Up to no good! but cute.

Rosemary Beetles

On the Russian Sage in the front. Shiny rainbow colours. Checked that they don’t bite.

Crab-apple Jelly

Success.

Crab-Apples

Got 8 lb + from the tree in the back this afternoon. Jelly yum.

Quooker

Nothing much has happened with the Covid-19 fuss, but today got a new boiling tap yippee.

Honeysuckle

Best for years, the sunny spring helped.

Optrex Season

One downside of the unusually lovely weather.

End of Lockdown

Today we were allowed to slightly mingle, saw Jane Anne and Derrick in their back garden. All well with them.

DM - Bandcamp

Got the DM albums uploaded to Bandcamp

www.dancingmice.bandcamp.com

Cyber-Rehearsal

Trying Jamkazam, with limited success so far. So much depends on individual internet speeds.

Top Of The Pops

Good news from Spotify.

Acrylic

New kitchen chairs delivered today after a Hermes saga. Worth the bother.

Lockdown!

DM having their first group chat tonight, in case the country was put in lockdown, and indeed at 8.30 p.m. it turned out to be so.

York Jaunt

16th – 18th March, just at the start of the COVID-19 fuss. Betty’s Tearoom shut! Railway Museum open though.

Wolfgang Flür

Played tonight at Summerhall. Largely, he moved about a bit in front of two Apple laptops. Films showed 70’s Kraftwerk, some of which I hadn’t seen before. Glad I went. With Ian C, and bumped into Penny (Ex-work).

Jigsaw 2020

Christmas present from Jane

Mystery Tile

Had the gas burners replaced, fitter found this in the dining room, under the old fire.

The Lighthouse/ Badger

Went last Friday to the Odeon to see The Lighthouse, amusingly grim. On the way saw my first live badger.

Gig 51

Traverse, Monday 17th February 2020

Supporting “Dominic Waxing Lyrical”

Setlist: Pictures of Biggles, Cool, No-One Wants You Watching, Exit Plan, (OK) No Love Affair, The g Factor, Red Star, It’s Abnormal, Mouse In Love

Soundman: Mike, surly but fair, and a super clear sound. I had taken my amplifiers just in case, but no need. Helpful staff found a long VGA lead.

Very well received, spontaneous praise from strangers, and many CD’s gone. First live outing for the opening three on Acme. Worked as they should.

Felt grown-up in the Green Room. Offers of gigs!

Teatime 1870

Great-Aunt Mary’s dolls' tea-service

February Bulbs– various

Turner in January

The Vaughan Bequest, every January at the RSA.

Letter to The Editor

The Times, Friday January 24th 2020

1917

Remarkably good film. Enthralling, moving, with marvellous camera work so good as to be impossible.

Lower Right 4

Useful box for unglued crowns
