Turquoise Hexamine Sun

scott_lynch Nails it.

Midsummer observances thus far seem to have involved presenting Ma with a tub of Coriander. Tub previously contained a currant bush (You can do your own Eddy jokes) which is now hopefully having a bit of a grow next to the pond. This back-and-forth of containers reminds me of (Amiga)demoscene disk-trading, but then many things remind a chap of other things that one's seen or heard before and they never quite manage a one-to-one mapping.

Next midsummer observance meant trundling up to Mangotsfield station with a pannier of real ale to meet the rest of the Bibulousgoths Bicycling Club. Drink taken, food scoffed, etc. Repaired to very local pub (but really no more local than the Craven or the Copperfields) for the second half. Most satisfactory.

Yes, I'm all about that post today. Suffering for one's art can go screw itself.

When are you next in London? I feel pintage coming on.

Aha. I likely found the link on yr FB, so oh lord thank you yes for the pointer. I was going to write a thing in much the same area, but yer man's saved me a great deal of icky self-reflection.

In theory, hotel & train is booked for the Modulate gig next month. With luck there will also be pottering around the skiffy thing at the BL and the Vorticists at one Tate or the other.

Awesome. Give me and/or Mr Landmine a yell when you're in town. I'm up for bimbling round museums/galleries.

Mid*summer*, did you say ? I thought we were still doing Spring. Or some other cold, rainy kind of a season.

What the calendar says and what the weather is doing seem to be two completely different things.

As a Canadian, when the "first day of spring" is actually in the middle of winter, this messes with my brain less than it does other people's.
