What i Did Last Night

Last night I watched some old downloaded videos mostly from the Ubu website, which for film buffs who like the avant garde, is a wonderful sand informative site. I watched a film of the seventies Japanese psychedelic group The Taj Mahal Travellers on a tour in 1972. I also watched the video of Edgard Varese “Poem Electronique” from 1958, and Erkki Kurenniemi “Electronics in the World of Tomorrow” from 1968.

The site also clips by John Cage , Karlheinz Stockhausen, Stan Brakhage ,and loads more. To peruse the site it is at www.ubu.com.

I also read more chapters from the History of Western Philosophy and then watched  a saved [programme from Monday, the excellent New Tricks. It was also very educational as well as it delved into the history of the Fleet river/ The river is one of London’s oldest underground rivers and gives it name to Fleet Street which runs from Ludgate Circus to Temple Bar and The Strand. Its headwaters are two streams on Hampstead Heath, each of which was dammed into a series of ponds, the Hampstead Ponds and the Highgate Ponds, in the 18th century. At the southern edge of Hampstead Heath these descend underground as sewers and join in Camden Town. The waters flow 4 mi (6 km) from the ponds to the River Thames.

Quite fscinating and you learn something whilst watching a crime series about cold cases.
 

On My Way ....

I have been online at the Financial Ombudsan website and filled in a questionnaire about the problem i have and in a few days time i will receive a complaints form. So the process is afoot to misquote Shapespeare.

I walked into Sittingbourne again as it was a lovely day , warm and sunny if hazy, and now it is a glorious day from outside
 the office window.

Whilst walking , i stopped for awhile in Bapchild, and took a phtograph of these two gents in animate pose. I only had the Canon wiith me and i think the Lumix would have been sharper. Nevwer mind, another one to add to the collection of people watching.



I am done here and need some fresh air.
