Beautiful light-art installation to walk around on a dark, winter night, made me smile.

"Mustang Sally
Guess you better slow that Mustang down
Mustang Sally now, baby
Guess you better slow that Mustang down
You've been runnin' all over town
Ooh, I guess you gotta put your flat feet on the ground
All you wanna do is ride around, Sally 🎵"

Unpredictable weather day (known as just another day in Scotland, of course), grey, threatening skies, sudden bursts of golden winter light, back to battleship grey as the winds make the clouds scud across the sky at a mighty clip.
Sod it, going for walk with chum & dog anyway

"serious breach of the ministerial code"
Let's get real here, Sunak isn't surprised or shocked, nor is he "doing the right thing" by firing Zahawi. Tories have known of this tax bungle for ages, they are only acting now because it blew up in public

"Do you know where hell is, hell is in "hello""
spinning Lee Marving growling "wandering star" from Paint Your Wagon. Not heard this in years, although grew up with it as it was about the only musical my dad liked

Should be asleep at this point; instead listening to my man Miles Davis, recorded live in Stockholm in 1960.
Late night jazz and single malt whisky. A combination I may regret in the morning, but right now is, frankly, heaven...

Extremely busy trains both going and coming back from visiting dad today, return train especially busy, lot of half drunk folks knocking back more booze (technically still a no-no on trains at the mo), heading into town. Realise oh yeah, pay weekend for most, so fun time!

May have to listen to "Ron's Piece" by Jean Michel Jarre later. Originally planned to be a duet, Jarre performing live in Houston, Ron McNair playing from the shuttle; sadly, of course, that would never happen

Reminded by chum that it was on this day in 1986 that we lost the Challenger en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shu
Still remember hearing the news in total, shocked disbelief: space shuttles don't just explode, this has to be a mistake. The Final Frontier exacts a terrible price sometimes...

I am quite jealous if everyone enjoying #Angouleme this weekend. One day I'll get to visit. bdangouleme.com
Would much rather go to Angou than San Diego Comic Con, if offered a choice.

At the rather splendid Falkirk Wheel with dad. Elegant & practical piece of modern engineering, can't help but think those venerable, innovative engineers of yesteryear, like Brunel, would appreciate it.

Mark's in LOVE, not only with our new bespoke Technics 1210MK2, but also with Mr Rafferty's transcendent 'City to City', re-released today on double ORANGE vinyl for superior sound with an etching of Gerry's lovely face on side D.

These are some of the Stolpersteine in #Bratislava, #Slovakia - brass plaques embedded in the ground outside the houses where victims of the Holocaust used to live and tell of their deadly fate at the central European death camps 1940-45. #HolocaustMemorialDay
