This time of year I always yearn for the music of Nick Drake. I wish it were playing everywhere always, which does not exactly fit in with my personal policy prohibiting polyphonic prerecorded playing as I wander around this planet. Which is to say, I really enjoy Listening to the noises where I happen to be.

Yesterday it poured. Today it has been grey, rainy, windy, cold, and now bright and clear. My favourite kind of day. You know, even sober people can’t walk straight in Ireland, they need to avoid the puddles!

A semi-annual frustration with my inability to focus on any one interest has resurfaced.
