Cold and rainy. The weekend is forecast to be just cold, with the wind and rain dropping off, so I can pull on my winter gear and spend it working in the garden. I have a couple of big jobs left to do, and several small ones.

OPERATIONS: wrestling this tv thing document to the end of what I’m calling Bad Draft 2. Finishing newsletter.
COMMS: Inbox 79. Everything is switched on today, because it’s all going to be switched off over the weekend.
LAST WATCHED: BOTTOM EXPOSED, a documentary about the making and afterlife of the tv show BOTTOM, which nearly had me in tears at the end.
THINKING ABOUT: what’s next.

SHIPPING FORECAST: I have some discoveries that I logged in the scheduler for today so they didn’t all pile up at once, but nothing useful will be posted over the weekend unless you like pictures of dirt, weeds and woodchips.

NIGHT MUSIC: Mizukara

This is a nice way to finish up the day.

Masaya Ozaki is a New York/Iceland-based composer born in Niigata, Japan. His work examines the idea of space as a transient entity, the subtleties behind small moments, the sensitivity of the ephemera, and the future of sound in an exceedingly materialistic world. He often finds inspiration in nature, the fragility of human interactions, and the momentums behind them. Masaya’s artwork materializes as field recordings and compositions for ensembles, film, dance, visual, and experimental arts.
‘’This Album is a reflection of my current life in Iceland…. Where does the self begin and where does it end ? ‘’

2015. My partner brought this back from me – she spent the best part of the month trekking across Mongolia. I froze it and it made excellent vodka martinis. And I didn’t have to trek across Mongolia. So I won all round.

Copper scourers arrived. Cheap ones. They’re basically scrunched-up tubes of copper wire. What you do is take a pair of shears and cut the tubes into hoops. The hoops fit around plant pots. Slugs and snails hate copper. Sometimes they can get around copper tape. They’re going to loathe these hoops of scratchy copper wire.

Also assembled and hung hat racks.

I note this to pretend I’m being productive when in fact nobody wants me to concentrate on work and I’ve done maybe a paragraph in the last hour.

Cold cold cold. The apples are blooming, and the lilac I pruned has come back better than before and is starting to produce big blowsy white blossoms. Keeping an eye on the weather to see if I can spend a productive weekend out there.

OPERATIONS: Need to go deep into the details on the tv document I’m working on today, which, given the number of deliveries arriving and the other things going on, is going to be a trick.
COMMS: inbox 80, shutting some channels down so I can focus as well as possible.
LISTENING:


THINKING ABOUT: finding the time to finish the newsletter this week! It’s going to be tight!
