Production

My Tasks ToDo tracking list has 28 items. Starting at the top row, it’s nice to know, without having to decide, what’s to be worked on next.

Monet’s Garden

All 28 tasks in the sequence can be done in one day, but completing the entire list, even at nine minutes per item, would be 252 minutes, or 4.2 hours out of the 16 available to me.

  • 30s, learn all you can.
  • 40s, earn all you can.
  • 50s, lead all you can.
  • 60s, leave with all the style you can.
  • Thereafter, or in the hereafter, enjoy all you can.

Thomas Dolby – She Blinded Me With Science (YouTube )

A pretty name as one would wish to read, must perch harmonious on my tuneful quill.

There’s music in the sighing of a reed; there’s music in the gushing of a rill; there’s music in all things, if men had ears: their Earth is but an echo of the spheres.

I think that the BBC’s attitude toward the show while it was in production was very similar to that which Macbeth had toward murdering people:

  • initial doubts
  • cautious enthusiasm
  • greater & greater alarm at the sheer scale of the undertaking

and still no end in sight.
