someone who's doing some things
This was a lovely performance by Hildur Guðnadóttir at Cafe Oto last night. Quite inspiring and beautiful. It makes me want to listen to her music again and remember just how delicate and wonderful it is.
It has also given me a bunch of ideas that I want to try out as well, which was a nice added benefit.
I have to say I’m impressed with Pebble’s latest announcement. It looks pretty good and I think it’s going to give the Apple Watch a good run for its money. Of course the announcement steals the Apple Watch Thunder, and judging by their astonishing Kickstarter performance in one day, people are loving what Pebble have come up with.
So I finished listening to this audio book. An unabridged version of Terry Nation’s original novel and read by Carolyn Seymour who played Abby Grant in the original 1970s series. It was good. Good in so many ways. Sometimes it really is worth it to hear the original story. Where all the spin offs started and the root of all the versions. That’s certainly the case here. It was well worth it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed the other versions, both TV series, what Big Finish have done with the full cast audio story, but this has been the best so far. It was coherent and in some ways helped to make sense of the other versions too.
I won’t spoil it in case you are interested enough to read it or listen to it yourself, but it is quite different from both TV versions. I won’t say more than that. I’ll leave it there. At some point I’m going to write a post about all of the versions, perhaps in a few weeks time.
