Merry Samhain to all northern friends! And Merry Beltane to those of you upside down!

Nice spot for lunch on the Ouse way. Also had a wander round the Holt island reserve in St Ives. Glorious day!

Cycled put to Wicken Fen today - glorious warm early spring day with everything greening up. Saw the sails turning on the windmill so went and checked it put and got to see the mechanisms in action. They make great flour and it’s what I mostly bake bread with.

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.
So, best we share all the footage we can here!
This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

Happy Imbolc all! The end of winter and first signs that spring is on its way: apple trees are showing bud as is the blackthorn out in the fens. Fields that were barren a week ago are now turning green. Every day the sun rises a little higher and has a little more warmth.

Rewatching one of my favourite films of all times: Excalibur. I can't count the number of times I have watched over the years. Boorman really gets to grips with the myth of Arthur: the King and the Land are One! A great cast, stunning cinematography and solid action.

So much redundancy on the Internet. All these social media posts floating around crying "Mr President I voted for you please don't deport my wife / sack my husband / make my medication unaffordable" etc can all be replaced with this one fun video.
Much better.

I saw an early screening of this with temp gfx for the animations so really looking forward to seeing the final version. But sadly they've had problems getting any distribution - hopefully an oscar nomination will unblock!

All India Radio is a modern (i.e., 21st C) band I listen to a lot. Lots of moody ambient soundscapes mixed with proggy riffs. Lots of Floyd inspiration - indeed the cover for this album is one of those originally commissioned for Dark Side.
