Riding the Waves to Eternity: Hangin’ with the Cosmic Surfer

Every Second Is The Same As Usual

The weather has certainly turned; I went out for a short walk this evening and it was 9 degrees and drizzling, compared to 23 degrees under cloudless skies last week. It is, as they say, good for the garden which is suitably lush and green.

I can’t say I’ve been doing much of interest though, or, at least, of interest to anyone other than me. I’ve been reading and editing/revising, plus I wrote a 1970 music post on the Edgar Broughton Band. I’ve also been listening to a Grateful Dead archive release (this one) that arrived today after leaving the sender 29 April.

Regular readers will know I often have a moan about Twitter, although I still keep my account there. Some time ago, it changed its desktop UI to a hideous, unuseable thing, only made bearable by a browser extension, ‘Good Twitter’, that tricked Twitter into behaving as it had before the change. That extension finally stopped working this week, leaving desktop Twitter unuseable again. This has had two consequences for me. One is that I’m using a third-party app on my phone to view the site, the second that I’m looking at Twitter a lot less. Much as I do appreciate Twitter at its best (and today’s 1970 music entry only happened because of a Twitter post) It is undoubtedly something I want to see less of.

Not looking at Twitter, btw, also means I have no idea what was in today’s news.

Music: I thought of this yesterday for the first time in years and have played it, off and on, ever since.
