There was a bit of a frost this morning on the dyke, I was not expecting it, in fact the old railway bridge was like a skating rink. That crow was still pecking away, how many parasites can highland cattle have? If I was to eat shortbread at the rate that crow gorges itself I would be the size of a house. Funnily enough though obesity does not seem that prevalent in crows.

What a beautiful sunny day today, the last couple of mornings have been very wet. The river was over the weir yesterday and there was a stunning double rainbow dramatically framing the castle. A little later one of Constellation Beads suppliers phoned us from Hong Kong for a chat. She told us it was so warm and humid there, if we could just transplant that humidity to the UK we would have the perfect climate. It made me nostalgic for the Star Ferry.

Got a composer from Cyprus coming up tonight so that we can work on his composition for Cello and Electronics which we are recording next week in Huddersfield. It is quite complex and will need a lot of work and time is short.

Talking of brilliance though, my 6 year old was doing words using ish the other day. Usual words like fish, wish, dish etc were coming out, then last of all he put his hand up and said accomplish! The teacher nearly fell over, when he asked my son for a context, he gave mission accomplished. The future of the world will be safe in his hands.
