Saw another lovely thing in the #Pianodrome, a semi-secret gig by S!nk, their house band, making a live recording of a soundtrack to accompany a screening of "Battleship Potemkin". One of a series of silent movie soundtracks they were commissioned to make years back and are now recording, with a luckily invited audience to lend them a receptive atmosphere

Learning now there's a whole genre of Battleship Potemkin soundtracks, including one by the Pet Shop Boys!

Enjoyed the experience. I've never sat so still trying to be silent! The trio rattle around switching instruments, not always the piano in the mix. There's a wee bit of electronics. The score sometimes dominates the film, sometimes the other way round, sometimes gels perfectly

They're doing it again tomorrow and still have space free, if you're interested PM me for the link :) #Edinburgh

Ran into the research organiser whose datacentre i originally moved here to work for, all those years ago - took me far too long to recognise him after 15 years... people in retirement relax so much

Told me i looked as if i were thriving. When i feel like i'm marginally above functioning, at best a kind of functioning+

Imagine what actual thriving might look and feel like! Perhaps i should be cautious not to thrive too hard all at once
