Maybe if I'd shampooed with those antipodean plants I wouldn't have
sinusitis.

It was more like a winter snuffles lie-around. I did have a good time in
Lancaster at the Knowledge Lab (some of it's online I think) organized
by friends on the subject of the impact of technologies - to talk with
all kinds of generally much younger people passionate about the world we
are making was an infusion of warm air amid the glacial environment of
lies & destruction seeping through our bones & braincells. And there was
that tremendous performance of Schoenberg's violin concerto (my
favourite) by Hilary Hahn in Frankfurt.
