Its the little things in a day that make it sweet


A fairly dull day can still have some interesting moments.


At the petrol station I was distracted from the actual price of the fill-up when the counter stopped dead on £50.00 at first go.


I was eating my breakfast and listening to a Fairport Convention cd - it was a bit like an aural impossiblity I was hearing. Which now that I think about it, it could be theoretically possible since just like a drawing on two-dimensional paper is a representation of a three-dimensional object (and can be an impossibility if you try to do actually make it as in picture here) so is stereo sound through two speakers a representation of a three-dimensional space with sounds coming from all sorts of directions. The music I was hearing seemed quite certainly to be coming from inside my head! Or maybe more the back of it. Yikes I'm going mad. One of the ways high-end stereos get analsyed for how good they are is the soundstage which is something to do with being able to percive the positioning of the different sources of the music like the drummer being at the rear back for example. Not sure where that puts my stereo though.
Saw the first bee of the Spring today just after the snow showers. Not sure how wierd that is but it doesn't seem right to me. He must have been hungry after his winter hibernation, or whatever bees do to see out the absence of nectar time. Or maybe he was an egg in a hive. I could google it but maybe later.....
Peace-out.
