That to move in different spheres will bring the changes we most fear

Its been a long week, with far too much heat in it, I was hoping this afternoons storm would calm things a little, but we’re already back to the humidity.

Tuesday saw me meeting up with some of the old Symbian crowd, who were out celebrating shipping something. Good to catch up with them again, though it seems not much has changed since I left.

Then last night was the moved Calling, the Kambar had been booked for the tuesday so the Calling moved to Thursday, for one night only. Clubs make so much more sense on thursday nights than tuesday – it only wrecks one day not the whole week. It was an odd night, far too hot for dancing, but the music was better than normal. The heat wasn’t stopping everyone, indeed, people were showing rather more of themselves than normal, showing their scars rather more than I felt comfortable with – they’re not all accidents, are they?

The heat reminded me of the Tokyo clubbing experience, where the club is in a wonderfully air conditioned building, making it comfortable to dance. Then, at the end of the night, you leave into the humid heat and the sunrise, the sky like something from Gibsons future.

  1. I don’t know, the breeze coming in from my window is wonderfully cool (and if I say that, it means something). We’ll see how it goes tomorrow.

  2. Thunderstorms round here usually drop the temperature by enough to make the humidity less of an issue; I’m attempting the car-boot sale this Sunday precisely because it’s only going to be 22 degrees, not 32..
