Dreamachine

Installation at Murrayfield Ice Rink, getting good reviews. Lie back on a sofa, eyes closed, listening to sub-Rubicon era Tangerine Dream electronic music while strong lights strobe at your closed eyes. Disappointingly banal, just a scintillating kaleidoscope. Many claim to see visions, cities etc.but I think they must have very long inspection times,for me nothing coalesced, even at the fastest strobe rate.

Creepy oleaginous attendants.

Pleased it was free.

Came out to torrential thunderstorms, but managed to dodge the worst. 11 and 26 there and back, what happened to the good old 12?

15:2 One for His Nob Go!

Got a smart new cribbage board today for next visit by FM. Came up in conversation about electricity blackouts as teenagers, how much fun it was learning card games by candlelight.



















Piano Tuner

Piano tuned for the first time in ? 5 Years. Tuner kept a poker face even though clearly cringing inside.
