Sunday Slouching
Dec. 1st, 2019 12:06 pmOMG!!! I had a lie-in this morning. I binge-watched some tv-series last night lol and went to bed around three in the morning. I woke up just before eleven and had a coffee to wake me up. Did it work? Partially.
I then took out some birdseed to feed the birds that populate our bird tables and drinking fountain out in the gardens here at Waterstone Place. As well as the usual sparrows, we have had collared doves,magpies, starlings, rooks, crows,and I once noticed a bullfinch - a very rare visitor to gardens.

I started listening to Desert Island Discs and midway had a call from my brother wanting to know how things were going. I should really keep in touch more often, and once a week I think could be better than .. well you know.
Lauren Laverne was talking to Asif Kapadia, the film director who did the documentary "Senna" and his desert island music choices.
Another cold crispy day but sunny. Weather is around 5 degrees C and fell to -2 last night! Had to close the curtains a bit as the sun was shining right into my eyes as I was trying to type. However, it is a nice day for a walk.
Walking to Spoons later for some food and drinks of course.
Meanwhile, listening to some Vivaldi on the system now that the radio programme I was listening to has finished.
Time for coffee number two!

Simon Fisher Turner Epic
Dec. 1st, 2019 07:58 pmI love his music for soundtracks and non-soundtrack work - but here is a DVD I want - reviewed in Wire of course.
Simon Fisher Turner - Cho Oyu
The Epic of Everest (BFI DVD)
Chomolungma
I just love this - It transports you to the villages and temples in the clouds of the Himalayas. The Epic of Everest is an incredible documentary (originally filmed during Irvine and Mallory's attempts to conquer the highest mountain in the world, and this soundtrack perfectly conveys the awesome territory.
