My last two bare root apple trees arrived. The thing I learned about buying dormant, bare-root apple trees is that they generally cost the same as a new hardback, fat graphic novel or DVD. They are not, in the grand scheme of things, the vastly expensive indulgences I had believed them to be. These two, from the East Of England Apples And Orchards Project, were twenty quid. The other two were 17.99.
ON DECK: Honestly, I’m home alone until Sunday and thinking about taking a long weekend for myself. I’ll probably finish the newsletter today.
INBOX: 68, avail on email all day
LISTENING: Faure’s Requiem, apparently
READING: I’m across a few different books, none of which seem to be hooking me. It happens.
LAST WATCHED: THE POTENTIAL OF NOISE, a fantastic documentary about music producer Conny Plank. I did not know that he produced “Vienna”!
OUTSIDE: So sad to hear Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. I’ve met him a few times, and got to introduce my daughter to him on one of those occasions, and he was never less than kind, warm and engaged.
SHIPPING FORECAST: probably back to making notes here on Monday. A long weekend and a refocus is probably a good idea, as I have shit to do and record.
