LionelBMy main themes here are gardening, nature and conservation, green energy and open source software but my frustration with the way billionaires are trashing our world will inevitably feature at times.
LionelBA random wander away from the tourist trail is always worthwhile.
The later burial ground is very dull and worthy. Couples who hated each other's guts in reality will be 'forever together'. A pompous bore proclaims his minuscule fraction of Plantaganet blood.
In the older ground, a touching link with the Titanic.

LionelBOddly, I have side-stepped a heatwave again. It is very pleasant here in Cornwall but a good 8° cooler than at home.
A 6 mile walk this morning. Certainly helps keep packing to an absolute minimum.

LionelBWith thanks to @dominicstucki@urbanists.social
for a great idea.
LionelBA mini adventure starts today. Trains await. I am not a fan of Travelodge but a Sunday bargain is a useful jumping off point.

At the science museum in Toronto I went into an anechoic chamber. Practically zero sound. There was immediately a very uncomfortable - almost painful - pressure in my ears.
The bathroom being small may have a lot to do with it.

Could be resonance around 20-40 Hz?
I think the point I was making was - don't assume that silence is the ideal. A sympathetic noise may be more beneficial.
LionelB'Cruise including Iceland, Belfast and Paris'.
Someone having a laugh, clearly.
