I like to live every day like it's *your* last.

I had one years ago, now I pick it up occasionally and think how the young people have taken over.

The current cover features 84-year-old composer Annea Lockwood.

Yeah but they (rightly) feature so much new new music that I can’t keep up with these days.

I can’t even keep up with old music. I pick what catches my ear or eye (I do judge an album by its cover) and go from there.

A paper or electronic subscription? I got the electronic one, i think its €10 for 3 months, basically free. I might have a flick through the reviews and add a few things on youtube music or bandcamp, I never read any features or interviews. If a review starts off with something like "The Whorfian hypothesis or linguistic relativity posits that languages can influence their speakers' thoughts and Weltanschauung" then I'm all, like, fuck off already

I was chatting to a very young friend, no interest either way, like actual people talking, who'd believe?! She manouvered me towards her mum. Her mum was much, much older than me. But she was lovely and we had a nice chat. She also had awesome little Chihuahua. That's not a euphemism, you filthy feckers.

You need a tractor.

It's the accoutrements you need to think about. Front forks? Round or spiked? Twin wheels? Speed holes?

kinda grew up around stuff like this and appreciate the aesthetics.

But mostly moving tons of stuff around, moving earth around and a few other things. Was up last year doing a fence for UTM for a week and 80% of the work time was manually moving stuff about. Defintely speed holes though.

I don't know what modern tractors are like, but they used to say The Massey is classy, but a Zetor is better.

My sister in law, a townie, came to the family gaff. And lil bro (who's an even more improbable farmer boy than I) hops in the tractor and starts working it. Round bales on both ends and shur you wouldn't be shtoppin it and the whole lot etc.
She just didn't know what to think, she had literally zero reference.

My dad's tractor is pretty awesome, that's my main point.

Fuck yiz all.

I did talk to mum today. Should probably talk to dad. But if I did that now he'd only call me a bollocks.
