Things just got serious. I’m drinking coffee instead of my usual tea! Kindle primed with books of prose poems and Japanese short stories. I downloaded Berlin Alexanderplatz too so plenty to read.

I’m trying my hand at writing little lipograms. A lipogram is a piece of writing that forces you to omit a certain letter eg the letter “e” which is the hardest to omit in English. It’s difficult but fun and gets the brain cells working.

I succumbed to the lure of Disney+ and signed up for a few months. The first thing I’m doing is watching every single Marvel movie in chronological order that I haven’t seen before i.e. all of them.

No trouble with “plant” today. Going for the literal.

I needed an external drive to rip CDs to flac files to play in my new music player. After looking at all of the cheap ones available I’ve gone for quality and ordered the old Apple USB SuperDrive. It costs more but looks like it won’t fall apart after a few weeks use.

So sad to hear about the death of Neil Innes (Bonzo Dog Band/The Rutles/Monty Python) today. I’m the Urban Spaceman
