Loki, God of Mischief (Wednesday 20th March 2024)

Finally escaped from Calne for a few hours, leaving half a dozen unfinished chores, and drove over to Trowbridge to see C. It was quite a springlike day, appropriately as it was Spring Equinox day, and Loki was outside in the garden or nearby for much of the time.

The garden was coming along and I took a few pictures of it, including in Extras a Red Robin (following on from my Saturday’s blip) and a Blue Flower. Its petals must include a lot of ultraviolet light as it came SOOC in quite the wrong colour (see second Extra), but adjusting the colour as best as I could to its true blue colour gave it quite an abstract quality (also in Extras). Her snakes'-head fritillaries are in flower, but there is no sign of mine in the Woodland Garden yet. The journey there and the return were both bestowing of Red Kite sightings.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Selecter - Deepwater (recorded October 1981, Coventry)
Having thoroughly delved through the expanded 3CD version of the Selecter's debut album Too Much Pressure and fallen for the irrepressable Pauline Black all over again I have moved on to its companion 3CD Celebrate The Bullet (the title is of course ironic but wasn't greatly appreciated as such at the time, and led to the band breaking up a short while later after disappointing sales).
Pauline Black noticed a sign for the town Deepwater, Population 400, on the freeway in Missouri from the tour bus and thought it reflected her perception of the "parochial" attitudes of some of the members in the band, two of whom left Selecter on their return to Britain.
