Due Tramonti (Einaudi). Notes: aside from the obvious slips and hesitations; nice start, tendency to rush the repeating phrase (throughout). R.h. theme - be a cello, not hard. Create space. Bar 23-27 &c. still finding notes. 19-20 (1.33) tratt. - a tempo: more tratt. please, but a tempo 'come stelle' comes in well, liking what I did there. Also 28-31 (2.11) good l.h. tone. End trails off, lost interest I think. Focus on: timing. And look up the italian.

Image from dream

I am not up late. I just had an unusually deep sleep, having lain down at 6.55 pm with some maths to study, and managing about one sentence and a diagram. I rescue this fragment of my dream; an image:

Mood: magical and strange. Good night.

Even better,

now my emails are coming from 1988 too!

Happy New Year! Pleased to see your e-mail shows you to be still in the 80s....

If you have one of these, treasure it. :)

My computer thinks it's 1987

I just think this is so cool! I think it's because I took the battery out. I don't wantto change it now, I like it being 1987. (But, nearly 1988 as you can see.)

I bought a book, it arrived, I'm very excited!

The History and Practice of Ancient Astronomy is one of the most exciting and original books ever written on ancient, as well as medieval and Renaissance astronomy, indeed, on the history of science. Here, for the first time, the reader can learn not only about ancient astronomy, but how to do ancient astronomy.

From inside:

Is the Heaven or the Earth in Motion? An Ancient Debate

As far as practical astronomy is concerned it makes no difference whether the motion of the stars is explained by the westward motion of the celestial sphere or the eastward rotation of the Earth on the same axis. Observations of the heavenly bodies provide no basis for choosing. One may, however, still ask which hypothesis is physically true. Although the opinion in antiquity was overwhelmingly in favour of a stationary Earth, there were thinkers who subscribed to the opposite view.

I like how it's written so as to embrace the unknown and the means of discovery, rather than oh well of course we now this, but back then, they were all wrong, how silly of them!
