Sad to hear of the loss of one of the great voices. I first heard her courtesy of Robin of Sherwood. The “Theme from Harry’s Game” will last forever. I never managed to see Clannad live - my two chances were thwarted by a COVID cancellation and then being on the other side of the world on the last occasion.

Twin adventurers are cleverly testing modern vs. historic gear. “If they went on an expedition, and Ross wore modern kit while Hugo wore historic replicas, any difference in performance…could be attributed solely to the gear, not genetics.” https://www.carryology.com/insights/how-the-turner-twins-are-mythbusting-modern-gear/

How the Turner Twins Are Mythbusting Modern Gear

Modern adventure apparel should outperform heritage gear, right? Well, the genetically identical Turner twins put this theory to the test...

This unique self-portrait, also known as “view from the left eye”, is the creation of Austrian physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach (famous for his work on supersonic fluid mechanics), who was born #onthisday in 1838.

Weird technical issue - audio CD plays ok in cheap stereo but plays / imports with terrible noisy static when trying to rip to my Mac using Apple SuperDrive. It’s a second hand CD but not in particularly poor condition - see comment about plays in stereo. (Edit to add - I would have thought it would either play or not play rather than rip a terrible version)
