Music in the walls of Stirling...

This is fascinating, and not just to a Dunnett fan.

I'm not sure how the notation works - but it's fun to see the meld of art, architecture and music. The recreated piece is well worth listening to.

Comics...

Yesterday I went to the Silver Snail and bought a pile of comics. A pile.

Today I lounged on my sofa and read them. In chronological and alphabetical order. After a lifetime of reading comics, especially Marvel comics, and especially Marvel Mutant comics, I was confused by a lot. But my goodness... did I enjoy myself. My love of comics is as strong as ever. It helps, of course, that these were hand-picked for the writers, artists, and characters I like. I was thrilled to see old favourites back, I hadn't seen for a while: Gambit, Nick Fury, Shatterstar, Longshot, Domino. And at DC, Mon-El. Surprise.

There seems to be a new trend to having back-up features and/or previews, reminding me of ancient days.
