Off for a break in Goettingen- a quiet university town in Germany- till Wednesday. Just a few days to feed the brain, the town having been associated with the work of no fewer than forty Nobel prize winners.

Can’t help wondering if all that brain power could be related to the Germans’ superhuman/legendary banana consumption (above).

MONDAY MORNING UPDATE: Thank you to Aris for your comment on the Byron plus Errollyn Wallen gig. Glad you enjoyed it!

Glorious sunshine in Germany.

Today calm (apart from this extraordinary “assisted suicide” story from China, order and a bit of Handel today.

Tomorrow August Macke.
