things
1) it is 2.12am and I am still awake. Dear brain, go to sleep.
2) Saw the Guangdong acrobatic version of Swan Lake today at the ENO and was strangely unaffected. Yes, there were awesome bits, but they were few and far between. I hated what they did to the music and the editing and sound was horrific which for an opera venue is unacceptable really (entirely the fault of the production having crappy click tracks instead of a live orchestra). The scene changes were messy and overly long and it all struck me as a bit amateur. Glad I saw it but even happier that I didn't pay full price for my ticket.
3) The downside of overlooking farmland has become abundantly clear today. It is muck spreading season. My entire house smells like manure. I have lit scented candles, sprayed febreeze and generally just hoped my nostrils would shut down, no such luck. I'm tempted to go back to my parents' and stay there until it dissipates.
4) I made cornbread muffin things today. Taste just like scones and not at all what i imagined. If anyone has any recipes using cornmeal/flour I have another 3kg of the stuff, some stoneground and some with the texture of normal flour and would love recommendations.
