Listening to John Coltrane “A Love Supreme” For an album I’ve had for many years I don’t know this too well, when it’s Jazz time I nearly always reach for Miles, time to have a proper go at some Coltrane I think 🤔

Finished reading “The Three Body Problem” trilogy earlier this week, a first contact/alien invasion Sci Fi epic, much food for thought here and mind bending ideas Only recently started on some serious sci fi reading, this makes me want to continue the journey

I finally finished work yesterday, it’s time to take a back seat and take it easy for a while before I decide on the future Overwhelmed by the generosity of my shipmates with their gifts and pecuniary offerings a great crew indeed x

Steve Lawrence @ackleite.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Listening to Mike Batt “Schizophonia” His 1977 orchestral rock proggy type record with a bit of Arabic music in there too, not particularly essential but takes me back to what passed as a kind of 70s sophistication .. it’s ok

That first Asia album was immense back in 82, struggled with the follow up but came to enjoy it too After that it was all diminishing returns and I stoped buying them Still I have good memories of the first two, don’t play them often but I won’t get rid of them either
