You could definitely spot the date today eg here or here

The central train station is currently sporting adverts for Lynx (deodorant etc) using the phrase "Man Leather". Unfortunately all this conjours up is images of Cohen the Brabarian. Not a selling point...

Getting distracted by medieval music - discovered a very nice piece on an Italian album of medieval songs involving alcohol.

On parole de batre/A Paris/Frese nouvelle

which is a 13th C motet from The Montpellier Codex. I find it rather cool that the Tenor line is a repeat of:

Frese nouvelle!
Muere frace muere muere frace!

Fresh strawberries!
Sound/Honest blackberries, sound/honest blackberries



I have decanted the music to mp3 (now on USB stick so can inflict...), and can find part of the sheet music here, but apparently a subscription is required for the second page and printing :(
