Marlborough (Wednesday 13th July 2022)

I briefly prised myself away from my study fanlight today to brave the heat. I bought petrol that couldn't be put off any longer despite the unacceptable prices (£2 for every 10 miles or so in my case, much more for some), had a short wander around Marlborough and had my third picnic of the week in the shade of a neolithic standing stone in West Kennet Avenue in Avebury.

This gaggle conducted a gliding motorcade just for me on the River Kennet at the Waterfront Gardens.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Netherworld - The Beauty of Places Where There Is Nothing to See (recorded October 2021, using field recordings made in the Arctic)
Netherworld is actually Alessandro Tedeschi, a producer from Rome who, as the founder and artistic director of Glacial Movements Records,  uses manipulations of classical music and sounds of Arctic wind and ice to alert us to the irreversible dangers of climate change. This track appears on the CD compilation The Wire Tapper 58, included on the print and online music magazine The Wire (Issue 458, April 2022), which I played on this day, having bussed into Chippenham on Tuesday to buy The Wire (Issue 462, August 2022), which included The Wire Tapper 59, as yet unheard by me.
