The road to Swindon is paved with turn-offs to Didcot. But what picturesque scenes can be viewed in transit. More poor schoolchildren need a visit to take them out of chem/hist/fr/geog/alg/lat/phys/bio etc and I am that visit. En route I shall prepare for the arrival of David Gilmore. Yes that's David Gilmore folks, guitarist, writer and vocalist with Pink Floyd. The Endless River is the new album which started off as music from The Division Bell sessions in 1993. Last year David and Nick Mason revisited the music and decided that the tracks should become part of the Pink Floyd canon. They've rerecorded, upgraded and noodled and the result is this new album; a tribute they say to Rick Wright their keyboard player who died in 2008. And this is it apparently, there is no more new Pink Floyd after this. DG after 6
And I love the 'landing on a comet' story. The European Space Agency has given the final "go" for its audacious landing attempt to land a thing on the catchily named Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It's launch is from the Rosetta satellite and is very exciting (I think). Songs for landing on a comet? You know you can.
Meantime I've only reached Reading...
