Out and about.

Still a tad chilly today.

Roses are red My legs are a quiver

“We need to use AI“ “Why do we need to use it?” “We need to use AI because it’s there” “But why do we need to use it?” “We need to use AI because it’s there” “Why?” “Because it’s there” Ad infinitum conversation…

So I think I’m going to have to set a deadline for this. I need at least five song suggestions and why they reinvented you, blew your minds or just made you feel the best by Friday 20 February. 🙏🏼❤️

“You gotta fight, For your right, To…..”

Mealy pudding in lieu of haggis the evening.

“Can you pick up some vanilla bean paste on your way home”

My annual round of asking a class of students if they know who Barker and Corbett are. Collective head shake.

The project aims to raise awareness of the critical importance of listening in all its forms, and the benefits that better listening can bring to us all. We want to put art and creativity at the centre of a global conversation about listening. citiesandmemory.com/listening/

The project is global, open to everyone and multidisciplinary. For the first time in a Cities and Memory project, we are welcoming the full range of multimedia responses. • Sound composition/music • Field recording • Video • Photography • Drawing, painting, image or artwork •Poetry or prose

We’re proud to launch Ways of Listening, a new partnership with @evelynglenniefd.bsky.social that is open to everyone. This unique global project asks you to share your answer to one simple question - “What does listening mean to you?” @dameevelynglennie.bsky.social citiesandmemory.com/listening

Well, that didn't last long...

Cares not a jot.

The crux of last nights dream.
