Off tonight to see the wonderful EABS (Electro-Acoustic Beat Sessions). Describing their approach as “reconstruction from deconstruction", they make a wonderful, eclectic sound. Enjoyed currently with fresh strong coffee

Return to teaching went fine, apart the predictable tech failures (mainly a consequence of lecture room changes). Physically, feel surprisingly ok today. In all likelihood it’ll catch up with me later. In the interim, a bit of Bob, strong, fresh coffee and an attempt to write

First day back at teaching for nigh on two years. I wonder how it’ll go? Anyway, some Nina Simone and strong fresh coffee to kick things off

This morning it’s the Philip Glass Ensemble and Einstein on the Beach. Stir strong fresh coffee into the mix and I think we have a classic. Have even adjusted other drugs so there’s a chance I won’t feel totally knackered all day. Here’s hoping
